Ever since the ancestors of today's Lithuanians settled near the Baltic Sea, which at that time generously sparkled with amber on its shores, it began to be used in its own way. Only when a baby was born, a piece of amber was hung above the crib, as a blessing from the gods of the sea and the sun and protection from evil. spirits. Later, that amber was hung around the neck of a growing child as an amulet. Amber is suitable for a person of any age. It is believed that he protects the little ones from diseases and misfortunes, covering them with a protective veil. It is also suitable for children who have difficulty speaking due to fear or simply require too much attention. Necklaces have long been worn by people with goiter or thyroid problems.
