An amber necklace?
The amber necklace is an accessory made from genuine amber beads, crafted to ease the discomforts associated with dental thrusts in babies. This jewel is equipped with a secure clasp to guarantee a peaceful use.

Composition of an amber necklace
The quality of an amber necklace rests on its manufacture. For optimal efficiency, it must be composed exclusively of natural amber from the shores of the Baltic Sea. The beads are threaded on a cotton thread, ensuring softness and comfort for the sensitive skin of the baby. In addition, a plastic clasp, matching the amber colour, is recommended to avoid the risk of allergy associated with other materials such as metal.

The benefits of the amber necklace
Amber necklaces have been used for centuries to relieve the pain of dental thrusts. Known for its soothing properties, amber is also associated with benefits such as asthma relief, skin problems such as eczema or psoriasis, as well as some joint disorders such as arthritis.
In addition, this collar can prevent irritation caused by the accumulation of sweat in the baby's neck folds, absorbing moisture and allowing better ventilation.

Effectiveness of the amber collar
Although the benefits of the amber necklace have not been scientifically proven, many parents show its usefulness. In a majority of cases, the tears and pains of dental thrusts would decrease after a few days of use.
Some critics raise safety concerns, but modern collars are designed to meet strict standards. No serious incidents have been reported in recent years.

How old are you to use an amber necklace?
If safety recommendations are met, the collar can be worn as early as 4 months, when the first teeth often appear. It is also an idea of a practical and original birth gift.
Introduce the early collar allows the baby to get used to it, avoiding it from shooting or chewing it. Many children continue to carry it until the age of 6 or older.

Choose a baby amber necklace
To select a good necklace, it is essential to check several criteria: the shape of the beads, the safety standards, and the origin of the amber, ideally from Lithuania.

Types of pearls offered, handmade with Lithuanian amber:
Baroque pearls: common, they combine an almost round shape and a natural appearance.
Oval pearls: more modern, they adopt an elongated shape reminiscent of an olive.
Rounded pearls: natural appearance, edges well rounded but far from round.
Polished eclats: rougher, these natural pearls are cheaper.
Beads, whether polished (glossy) or not (mattes), do not differ in efficiency.

Collar security:
Security is paramount. Each pearl must be separated by a knot to prevent ingestion in the event of rupture.

Use and maintenance of the amber collar:
For maximum efficiency, the collar must be worn directly against the skin under the clothing. It is best to remove it during the bath to avoid premature deterioration. Also consider cleaning and recharging it regularly.

Precautions:
Do not let your baby chew the collar: amber works by skin contact, not by mouth. Finally, this jewel does not replace medical treatments prescribed by a healthcare professional.
