Beaded Raw Amber Teething Necklace for Baby

DETAILS

Baltic amber necklaces for the babies in your life! These amber beads are raw, not polished and shiny. Amber is an "organic gemstone" in the sense that it is a gem, but was formed by a living organism - a prehistoric tree from millions of years ago! Amber comes in a variety of colors. This amber comes from Lithuania.

Each amber bead is knotted individually. The clasp is a twist clasp.

SIZE

12.5" long

HOW TO USE

These necklaces are the perfect size for a teething baby, starting at about 6 months old. They're not meant to be chewed on, they're generally too small for that. It is advised to parents & guardians to remove the necklace during naps & sleep time, but I will add that we left our amber teething necklaces on for months, even years, without taking them off & without incident.

A PERSONAL STORY 

My daughter wore an amber necklace as a baby when she was teething & we found that it greatly reduced the amount she drooled after she started wearing it. Before the amber necklace she had to be changed multiple times a day, but after she started wearing it, we didn't have to change her drool covered clothes as frequently! :)

WHAT IS AMBER & WHY DO WE LOVE IT?

Amber is fossilized resin from trees. Trees produce sap when damaged or scratched to protect themselves & to heal, so it makes sense that their sap, which hardens & turns into resin, would have healing properties. People have been wearing amber jewelry in a healing way for thousands of years. Succinic acid is the healing property that makes amber so unique. It helps with pain, anxiety, inflammation, & is even used in medications to treat thyroid & menopause issues. It is released from the amber when worn & absorbed directly into the skin.

The amber comes from pine trees in the Baltic region of Northern Europe, a place rich in amber deposits. Some of it is up to 44 million years old! This area of the world has some of the largest deposits of amber. It comes in shades of yellow, orange, and brown/black.

WHY WE LOVE SEA GLASS

 • Sea glass comes in all colors of the rainbow which makes it an alternative to traditional gemstones. By wearing it, you show your appreciation for the ocean & earth friendly gems.

 • Sea glass carries the energy of the ocean, representing tranquility and resilience. It started as broken pieces of glass and over time evolved into something beautiful. It takes 20 to 30 years to form, and sometimes as many as 50 years to acquire its characteristic texture and soft shape.

 • Sea glass is a metaphor for life! "A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor...or a frosted piece of sea glass."

WHY ARE SHELLS SO AMAZING?

• Shell jewelry has a very ancient past, dating back over 100,000 years. 

• They are viewed as symbols of womanhood, fertility, birth and wealth. 

• Shells are associated with the element of water & the moon which drives the tides. Wear them to connect to your intuition & creativity. 

• Many cultures used shells as a form of currency. Cowrie shells were used in New Zealand, Africa and North America, and Native Americans used wampum as money. 

• Protection is a shell's primary purpose in nature, as it is made to keep small, defenseless sea creatures safe from harm. Because of this, shells have strong protective energies. 

• They're beautiful!
