via the skin into the bloodstream.

About Baltic Amber:
Gintaras (Lithuanian for amber) comes from "ginte" (meaning to protect).
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 comes in many shades and colors, although the most
common are cognac, honey, green, lemon yellow, ivory and cream/yellow.
It is is lightweight and because it is an organic substance, each piece
is unique.
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.
Cleaning Instructions:
- Two containers of water.
- A toothbrush
- Some liquid Soap
- Some olive oil.
- And a few towels
Mix a small amount of liquid soap in the water, dip it in the soap
and water mixture, and scrub the amber gently. focus on the area wear
the silver meets the amber, or in the case of amber without silver, in
between the amber stones, or beads. Rinse off any residue from the soap,
by washing off the amber in your other container of water. Take small
amount of olive oil, apply it to your hand, (or finger depending on the
size of the amber) and work it into the stone. This will keep your stone
with a beautiful luster. Be careful when cleaning Amber has an
approximately Mohs Hardness Value of 2.5, which means its a very soft
gemstone, and can be scratched.

colors and shape of stones and the length of the necklace may vary from
necklace to necklace. All amber stones we use for our amber jewelry are
genuine, authentic, natural Baltic amber stones. It is not artificial,

Whom are they designed for?
Baltic
Amber teething necklaces are designed for boys and girls. These
necklaces are a must-have for teething symptoms. Baltic Amber is
completely natural pain relief with no side effects.
When can my baby start wearing the necklace?
The
necklace may be worn from 8 weeks and up. Although you can start you
child wearing this necklace at any time, the earlier the better. If your
child wears it at a young age they will not even know it is there and
they will not touch it or pull on it.
How it works?
When a baby
is wearing amber teething necklace on the skin, the skin's warmth
releases healing oils from the amber (a resin) which are absorbed via
the skin into the bloodstream. Amber is not a stone and therefore warm
to the touch, as well as very comfortable and light to wear. Children
wearing amber is a very old traditional custom in Europe and the Far
East. Amber is known to reduce inflammation of the throat, ear and
stomach and to fight inflammation, infections and respiratory disease.
Traditional beaded amber necklaces are a less intrusive remedy for the
pain and side effects of teething, such as lack of appetite, upset
tummies, ear ache, fevers and colds. A natural analgesic, amber will
help calm a baby without resorting to drugs. Amber's anti-inflammatory
and therapeutic properties are also recognized by allopathic medicine.
These necklaces are long known for the healing properties of amber which
include calmative, analgesic, antispasmodic, expectorant, and febrifuge
(anti-fever) functions.
What happen if necklace gets broken?
Silk
string is very strong and breaking is unlikely to happen, even if the
necklace would break only one bead would come off. The Baby Amber
necklace beads are light and small and therefore too small for a
baby/child to choke on. But if a baby/child should swallow a bead from
the Baltic Amber necklace, it would not be harmful since it is not
toxic.
Disclaimer
Although we have never had
any any incidents that have resulted in harm to infants, there is always
a chance they will break the necklace apart and perhaps swallow one of
the beads. We have gone to every extent to ensure the safety of the
child, the beads are knotted in between each other, and the cord is not
very strong, the clasp is a screw clasp. Amber is a natural healing
product that works by being next to baby's skin. The child does not have to put the beads in or around their mouths for the amber to work.
