From the very beginning of our jewelry story we have supported eco-conscious production process at all stages – from legal and nature harmless extraction of amber to the usage of recyclable packaging for our jewelry. We always wanted to follow the ethical principles of production and draw people’s attention to the problems of flora and fauna. This spring we found out about the Friends of the Baltic Seal Foundation, and we immediately knew that it’s the story we would like to participate in.
Currently there are no more than two hundred Baltic ringed seals in the Gulf of Finland, and forty years ago the region was inhabited by several thousand species. Despite the fact that ringed seals are not listed in The IUCN Red List, the subspecies are on the brink of extinction, and if we don’t take urgent measures, these rare sea mammals will disappear from the Gulf of Finland. Our charity project along with the Friends of the Baltic Seal is a great chance to tell about the existing problem and possible ways to solve it.
The idea of this project is pretty simple: we have produced a special piece of jewelry – a silver gilt ring with inclusions inside amber. A portion of each sale of this ring will be monthly donated to the Fund.
With the guys from the Fund we are connected on several levels, it’s not only the same common love of nature and willingness to make an effort, but also the story itself: jewelry with amber is also about the Baltic region. The product itself seems reminiscent of the sea. The highlight of this ring is an unusual transparent amber with organic inclusions – little pieces of plants and earth, which form delicate watercolour-like patterns of gold, greenish and black colors. Several million years ago these little organic pieces got in the wood resin, which eventually fell into the sea and solidified. This variety of colors and shimmering inside the amber makes each stone unique. The classic signet-like frame makes this jewelry piece even more concise, it is a modern interpretation of a timeless design.
The product can be purchased on our website or in the showroom. You can find out more about the story of Baltic ringed seals and what our friends from the Fund do to save it on their website.
We have been planning to present our items in Saint-Petersburg for a long time. Despite the delivery service with a free trying-on option, the important advantage of a jewelry brand is to provide the customer the opportunity for an authentic shopping experience with the ability to receive professional advice from a specialist. Fabergé Museum Store is now the place where you can do it all.
You can’t find much information about amber industry on the Internet. When we came up with an idea to create a store selling jewelry made of Baltic amber, we decided to delve into the subject by researching information about its origin, types and varieties.
A talented photographer Lucy Zharikova went to Yantarny this summer to create an atmospheric shoot on the Baltic Coast for Ambery. Inspired by the cold sea, fresh wind and natural textures, such as wood and smoky pebbles, Lucy subtly conveyed everything that we appreciate so much in our jewelry – simple and adjusted forms and natural beauty of amber.
Leta is committed to completely zeroing its carbon footprint by 2028. This will be achieved by eliminating paper, reducing energy consumption in manufacturing and stores, using electric transport for delivery, and participating in sustainable forest management programs.
