Baltic amber is mined from natural deposits found in the Baltic region, where it has been valued for centuries. These deposits lie beneath layers of soil and sand, formed millions of years ago when ancient tree resin hardened and settled into the earth.

Today, amber is extracted both from open-pit mines and from coastal areas where waves bring pieces to the shore. Modern mining uses controlled equipment to carefully remove amber-bearing layers, while in some places traditional hand-collection methods are still practiced. Each piece is cleaned, sorted, and prepared for crafting into jewelry or decorative objects.

Responsible mining is an important part of today’s amber industry. Companies follow environmental regulations and aim to reduce impact on the landscape through land restoration and sustainable practices. This helps protect local ecosystems while preserving access to this natural treasure.

With its rich history, warm natural tones, and organic origin, Baltic amber remains highly valued around the world for fine jewelry and timeless decorative pieces.
