Jewellery

Local masters used to make jewellery from metal and amber already since 1 000 BCE. They used to use local amber and imported metals — brass and bronze.

Simpler amber artefacts found on the Lithuanian seaside date back to even earlier days. These include various amber pendants with a hole, tubular and other types of beads, different buttons with a V-shaped hole, ornate discs, necklace separators and links with large holes, as well as human and animal figures. The surface of the jewellery is often decorated with dots and stripes, dividing the items into segments. Later people grew fond of amber necklaces, brooches, bracelets, pins and other items.
