Thanks to a dear friend of mine I now know the answer!
Saint Helena
She is known as Saint Helen, Helena Augusta or Helena of Constantinople. But what else do we know about her? She is also the saint of: converts, difficult marriages, divorced people, and empresses. Not a bad saint to have it seems!
Why is Saint Helena the patron of Archaeologists?So for those wondering where can I get myself a pendant or something with Saint Helena?:
"Because according to legend Saint Helena found three crosses buried under the earth where Christ had died in Jerusalem - the 'Parts of the True Cross'." (source)
