Healing Baroque Amber Necklace

Among other things, amber is a natural analgesic (pain reliever) and anti-inflammatory.  When amber is worn on the skin, the warmth of the skin releases trace amounts of healing oils on the skin.  Commonly known as "teething jewelry," baltic amber has been a natural and traditional European remedy for teething discomfort for hundreds of years. 

Our necklaces and bracelets are handcrafted with amber beads imported from the Baltic Region. They are made of authentic Baltic amber, the most esteemed type of amber in the world. The translucency of amber depends on the amount of air bubbles contained within a piece of amber and their distribution. Some believe the color is related to the type of tree source.

Succinic acid is the most beneficial component of the amber. The lighter colors of amber tend to contain more succinic acid than the darker colors and the more cloudy or opaque the amber is, the more succinic acid it contains (and usually the more cloudy amber is the nearer to the color white it becomes).  We have chosen to offer only lighter colored amber necklaces, so you will be sure to recieve the most benefit.

In order to receive a therapeutic benefit the necklace must be worn next to the skin as much as possible - for adults, we recommend wearing the necklace over night as well as during the day.  To care for your baltic amber, clean with lukewarm water and a soft cloth. Avoid detergents and cleansers when possible as these substances over time will leave a residue on the amber that inhibits it's ability to release its healing properties into the skin.  It is best to remove baltic amber jewelry at bath time, or when at the pool.

Product Safety:

The string the amber is strung on is designed to stretch when a good amount of pressure is applied, and break if necessary.  Each piece of amber is individually double knotted on the strand.  The necklace fastens with a screw clasp.
