Values &
Sustainability
We have always believed that the most beautiful things are made with intention — for the people who wear them, for the hands that craft them, and for the world they come from.
A family built on
craft, not compromise
AMBER999 is a family business founded in Klaipėda, Lithuania, in 1999. At its heart is Edvardas, who has worked with amber for more than three decades. Not an agency, not a factory with hired names on the wall — a small, devoted team for whom amber is a lifelong craft, not a business plan.
Every piece we make is a considered decision: the amber we select, the metal we pair it with, the way we package it. We are a small brand still — and a growing one — but every step still begins with the same piece of amber we hold in our hands.
The values that shape
everything we make
Authenticity over trend
We don’t design to follow seasons. Every AMBER999 piece is designed to be worn for years — to age with you, to earn meaning over time.
Human craft, not automation
Our pieces are made by hand by a small team in Lithuania. We know the people who make what we sell. That matters to us — and we believe it matters to the person who wears it.
A family business, not a corporation
AMBER999 is family-owned, not run by a board or investors. We make our own decisions — personally, quickly, and with a sense of responsibility no company policy can replace.
Long life over fast fashion
The most sustainable piece of jewellery is one you wear every day for thirty years. We design for durability, not disposability — pieces that earn a permanent place in how someone dresses.
Fair relationships
We pay our craftspeople fairly. We work with suppliers we know and trust. The price of an AMBER999 piece reflects what it actually costs to make something properly.
Fearless individuality
Amber is bold, warm, tactile, ancient and unmistakable. We make jewellery for people who wear what they mean — who don’t need permission to be noticed.
Handcrafted amber —
by people who know it
Thirty years of working with amber taught Edvardas what no book or marketing course could — how it moves, how it ages, how it responds to light.
No machines do what our artisans do. Each bead is selected by eye, each clasp fitted by hand, each piece strung and checked before it leaves us. The time this takes is exactly the point.
When you hold an AMBER999 piece, you are holding something a person made — specifically, carefully, with everything they know about amber.
Our sustainability
commitments
Natural materials
Baltic amber is a natural resin requiring no chemical extraction and no industrial processing — nature made it exactly as it is.
Small-batch production
We don’t overproduce. Every collection is made in small quantities. This means less waste, less unsold inventory, and more attention paid to each piece.
Responsible packaging
Our signature black box uses FSC-certified materials and our ribbon is reusable. We use minimal plastic and are working to eliminate single-use plastic entirely by August 2027.
Local supply chain
Our amber reaches us from the Baltic region, and our craftspeople work right here, in our Klaipėda atelier. Our metal components come from European suppliers with traceable sourcing.
Designed to last
We offer repair and care services for AMBER999 pieces. If a clasp breaks or a bead chips, we would rather fix it than have you replace it. Sustainability starts with longevity.
Community & craft heritage
Lithuania has one of the world’s oldest relationships with amber. By building our business here, we contribute to keeping that craft tradition alive — economically and culturally.
Our standards
Materials we choose ourselves
We select the amber and metal ourselves, by hand, judging every detail by eye. We keep only what is worthy of the AMBER999 name.
Handcrafted in Lithuania
Every piece is shaped, strung and finished by hand in our own workshop in Klaipėda. We spend the most time on the smallest details.
Less waste in the workshop
Much of what would become waste elsewhere gets a second life here — from material offcuts to packaging.
Every piece carries
these values with it.
