Lyubov Serebryakova was born on 16 December 1946. In 1967 she graduated from the  Filigree and Enamel Department of the Krasnoye Selo College for Art Metal Work in Krasnoye-na-Volge of the Kostroma Region. On the assignment, with the group of graduates she came to the Kaliningrad Amber Combine, where she worked as fashion artist for over 30 years. For this time she had designed jewellery models for serial production, many of them were awarded at the Arts Council in Moscow. Since 1968 Lyubov Serebryakova had been a constant member of jewellery exhibitions: regional, zonal, republican, all-Union and international. In 1980 she moved to Kaliningrad, where her cooperation with the Kaliningrad Regional Amber Museum started. One can say that almost all best works by Lyubov Serebryakova created after 1980 entered the museum collection. Lyubov had always wanted her works to be kept in a museum, not in private collections, as it is the museum that will keep her memory for ages.
