Handmade accessories that make the most of the natural shape

Baltic Amber, amber from the sea

Earrings made from natural amber harvested from the Baltic Sea. The Baltic Sea stretches along the west coast of Lithuania. Amber harvested from the Baltic Sea, a Lithuanian specialty, is specifically called Baltic amber.

If you see black patterns in amber, they are mainly tree bark or seaweed. Small cracks in the amber shine golden due to the refraction of light. Each one is unique and each one is a one-of-a-kind accessory. Be sure to find your favorite one.

Amber: fossilized tree sap

Baltic Amber

Amber is fossilized tree sap. Amber that was created over 20 million years ago is called amber, while younger amber is called copal and has different strengths. Amber harvested from the Baltic Sea is called Baltic amber. Tree sap from tens of millions of years ago sank into the Baltic Sea due to changes in the topography, and over the years it turned into amber, which is still washed up on the shore by the waves.

Ancient talismanic item

Lithuania is said to be the last country in Europe to accept Christianity, and before that, nature (forests and trees) and living things (snakes and bees) were the objects of worship. Baltic amber was worn as a talisman to ward off evil.
