Frequently asked questions
What is Baltic amber?
Baltic amber is fossilised tree resin valued for its warm glow and lightweight feel. Many people choose amber as a meaningful, calming accessory for everyday wear. It is offered for aesthetic and symbolic use only and is not a medical product.
How can I get the most therapeutic value out of amber jewellery?
Amber jewellery is decorative. If you choose to wear it, simply wear it as an accessory you enjoy. For infants and toddlers, follow strict safety guidance: do not allow chewing, and remove jewellery whenever the child is unsupervised.
Can my baby wear the necklace while sleeping?
No. Remove any jewellery whenever a child is unsupervised, including naps and bedtime. Do not wrap necklaces around wrists or ankles for sleep.
Is that the lighter amber collars are more powerful than darker colours?
Colour is a matter of personal preference. There is no established evidence that one colour or finish offers different effects than another.
Necklace or Bracelet?
Choose the style that best suits your taste and daily routine. For young children, neck jewellery poses strangulation and choking risks; if you choose jewellery for a child, supervise at all times and remove during sleep, travel in car seats, or vigorous play.
What to expect when baby is teething?
Teething can cause mild pain, drooling, dry and irritated skin, diarrhoea, fever and mouthing behaviours. Some infants will also have fussiness and sleep disturbance. In many babies, these symptoms are transient and really don’t require special treatment. In others, though, they can be troublesome for both infants and parents.
Why does teething hurt?
Your baby's teeth started developing in the uterus, when teeth buds were formed in her gums. As her teeth develop, they push through her gums, a process which can cause irritation, pain and swelling. While pressure seems to relieve the pain, sucking causes more blood to rush to the swollen areas, making them particularly sensitive. This is why some babies may temporarily reject the link breast or bottle when they are teething.
How long will teething last?
There's no set date when your baby's first tooth will arrive. Most babies start at around six months, but it can happen at any time, from before birth to after her first birthday. Teething could carry on for a year or more. Your little one should have all her milk teeth by the time she's two-and-a-half years old.
Why not to use painkillers?
We don’t provide medical advice or recommendations about medicines. Always consult a healthcare professional before using any medication and follow product labels exactly.
What is the right length?
Our amber teething necklaces & anklets are generally one size: amber teething necklaces - 12.6-13 inches or 32-33 cm. / amber teething anklets/bracelets - 5.5-6.0 inches or 14-15 cm This is generally a good size for most young children, regardless of age. Before you purchase, we advise you to measure the wrist/ankle or neck and then check our product details.
Measurement Guide
Please note that all of our measurements are taken from the end of one clasp to the end of the other. It includes the full item with clasps.
Anklets: The easiest way to measure is with some string. It should fit so that you can slide your little finger under it, but not so it slides off the foot. The string can then be measured next to a ruler to determine the size needed.
Bracelets: Please measure the same way as anklets or measure an existing bracelet you have.
Necklaces: Adults - Measure an existing necklace you own or again use string. Children - Necklaces must not be too long but also not too tight. The easiest way to measure is to take a piece of string, again and measure the desired length around their neck and then measure against a ruler.
For safety the necklace must not be too long so it could come off or get tangled. It is also advisable that they do not chew it.
My baby wants to chew on the necklace or anklet, is this OK?
No. Jewellery is not a teether. If a child tries to chew, remove the jewellery and offer a paediatrician-approved teething aid instead.
Are there any safety features on amber jewellery?
Many styles use individually-knotted beads and break-away clasps. However, small parts can pose a choking hazard and cords can pose a strangulation risk. Always supervise children closely; remove jewellery for sleep, car seats, prams, and active play.
Should you see an effect immediately?
Amber jewellery is worn for style and personal symbolism. No health outcome should be expected, and experiences—if any—are subjective.
How to care for amber?
Wipe gently with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, perfumes, ultrasonic cleaners, and prolonged exposure to very hot water, pools, or hot tubs. If cleaning is needed, use lukewarm water and dry thoroughly.
What will happen if it gets pulled?
If pulled, jewellery may break. Because beads can be small, they can pose a choking hazard. Keep broken parts away from children and replace or repair the item before further use.
