The Hill of Crosses: A Sacred Wonder

Standing as a powerful symbol of faith and resilience, the Hill of Crosses in Lithuania is a one-of-a-kind sacred site unlike anywhere else on Earth. This extraordinary hill holds over 200,000 crosses, each telling a unique story of devotion, hope, and remembrance.

  • A monument of defiance during Soviet occupation when religious expression was forbidden
  • Visited and blessed by Pope John Paul II in 1993, declaring it a place of "hope, peace, love, and sacrifice"
  • Each cross represents a personal prayer, intention, or memorial placed by pilgrims from around the world

Our amber jewelry creates a tangible connection to this sacred place, allowing you to carry its spiritual significance with you wherever you go.

Baltic Amber: Nature's Golden Treasure

Formed over 40-60 million years ago, Baltic amber is not just a gemstone—it's a time capsule from an ancient world. This fossilized tree resin from prehistoric forests contains the oldest preserved DNA on Earth, making each piece a direct connection to our planet's distant past.

  • The world's finest amber comes from the Baltic region, with Lithuania being one of the primary sources of this precious material
  • Known for its healing properties for centuries, amber has been used to reduce pain, boost immunity, and calm the mind
  • Each piece is completely unique, with variations in color from honey gold to deep cognac, sometimes containing preserved plants or insects

Our jewelry combines this ancient treasure with sacred symbols, creating pieces that carry both natural history and spiritual significance.

The Sacred Connection Story

Crafting with tradition and devotion

Baltic Heritage

Authentic amber from the shores of the Baltic Sea.

Artisan Crafted

Handcrafted by skilled Lithuanian artisans.

Spiritual Significance

Inspired by Lithuania's Hill of Crosses.

The story of Sacred Connection begins at the intersection of two remarkable treasures: the ancient Baltic amber, formed over 40 million years ago, and Lithuania's legendary Hill of Crosses, a place of profound spiritual significance.

Our founder discovered her passion for amber jewelry while growing up near the Baltic Sea, where pieces of this golden treasure would occasionally wash ashore after storms. Years later, a pilgrimage to the Hill of Crosses—a hill adorned with over 200,000 crosses placed by visitors from around the world—inspired a vision to unite these two powerful symbols.

Today, each piece in our collection is handcrafted by skilled Lithuanian artisans who have inherited generations of amber-working tradition. We source only the finest Baltic amber, known for its exceptional clarity and warm golden hues, to create jewelry that carries both natural history and spiritual significance.

"We don't just create jewelry; we craft connections between ancient natural wonders and timeless faith."

Will amber change color over time?

Amber is a natural material that can darken slightly over many years of wear, especially with exposure to sunlight. This patina is considered desirable and adds to the character of your piece. To minimize color changes, store your amber jewelry away from direct sunlight when not wearing it.

All our amber is 100% genuine Baltic amber. Authentic amber:

  • Becomes electrically charged when rubbed with wool

  • Often contains natural inclusions or "sun spangles"
  • Floats in salt water (though we don't recommend testing this with your jewelry)

Each piece comes with a certificate of authenticity.
