Amber Connection is owned and operated by Urszula Abolik. When Urszula moved to the United States from her native Poland, she brought along her artistic flare and her love for amber, a fossilized resin from pine trees that date back 40 – 60 million years. While amber can be found in various parts of the world, the Baltic Sea, very near Urszula’s home, provides the most sought after pieces. Urszula began Amber Connection by creating amber jewelry from Baltic Sea amber and selling it at craft shows and community fairs after moving to the States. Now, having grown a considerable client base over the years, her recently established storefront carries her unique amber creations, as well as the work of other artists, organic clothing - most recently including a new line of dance clothing, and other earthy items. Amber Connection also holds weekly events that feature local artists, musicians and businesses. Visit Amber Connection’s website to keep abreast of upcoming events while shopping for that perfect gift.
A $10,000 loan from Rising Tide Community Loan Fund financed advertising, inventory, and working capital for Amber Connection.
