Amber provides natural pain releif for teething babies, toddlers and children.  Amber is associated with sunlight and warmth and reputed for boosting the immune system, reducing inflammation and accelerating the healing of wounds making it perfect for a teething baby or toddler.

When a child is wearing amber it warms to their skin releasing healing oils from the amber resin which is absorbed into the skin.  Amber is not a stone, so it is light and warms to the touch and comfortable to wear.  Children wearing amber is an old custom in Europe and the Far East as it is well known for its healing and anti-inflammatory properties.  Amber has an analgesic property which makes it a safe non-intrusive way to calm a baby without resorting to drugs.  Traditional beaded amber necklaces are a helpful way to deal with the unpleasant side affects of teething, upset tummy, fever, ear aches and colds.

These necklaces are made using genuine Baltic Amber strung on matching silk thread.  Each bead is knotted in between, so even if the necklace were to be torn only one bead would come off to prevent choking hazard.   The beads are small and light and therefore too small to choke on.  If a child were to swallow one bead it would not be harmful as it is not poisonous.  The clasp of the necklace is an amber bead with a twist screw closure. 

Please do not leave your baby unattended while wearing an amber necklace.  Remove for naptime and bedtime.  You are responsible for the safety of your child while wearing an amber necklace.  This necklace is not intended for chewing on.

Recommended for 8 weeks and up

More info on Baltic Amber :

Amber is any natural resin which oozed its way out of a tree and eventually fossilized at any time from recent times back to many million years ago. Amber is generally yellow or yellow brown and translucent, and it is pretty when polished. In its fresh form, resin has been known to collect insects or leaves in its sticky clutches, preserving them in visually perfect splendor for thousands of years. Resins which can become amber are found wherever certain kinds of trees oozing sap (a few conifers and angiosperms) are found–almost everywhere in the northern hemisphere of our planet.
Baltic amber (known as succinite) is a specific subset of amber that is found only in northern Europe: it accounts for some 80% of the known amber in the world. Between 35 and 50 million years ago, sap oozed out from a forest of conifers (probably either false larch or kauri) in the region now covered by the Baltic Sea, and eventually hardened into clear lumps. Shoved around northern Europe by glaciers and river channels, lumps of genuine Baltic amber can still be found today on the eastern coasts of England and Holland, throughout Poland, Scandinavia and northern Germany and much of western Russia and the Baltic states.

Baltic amber is fossil resin produced by pine trees, which grew in Northern Europe - from southern regions of the present day Scandinavia and nearby regions of the bed of the Baltic Sea. The climate became warmer and conifer trees started to exude big amounts of resin. Scientists say that amber is a fossil pine resin from this region that has achieved a stable state through oxidation. The word amber meant only one thing – the Baltic Amber. However, the process of how amber is formed traced more amber varieties in different parts of the world. Although more than 125 types of fossil resins are known in the world, these resins are not amber but its relatives. They are mostly found in Europe and America and each of them has its own name. But the Baltic amber is uniquely known for its quality and is most sought after.
