Amber Necklace

We have two colour options for your baby. Mixed is the multi colour and Cognac is the single colour which is very popular.

Amber is the colour of the sun – celestial body richly associated with folklore pertaining to warmth, healing and general wellbeing. Most of the amber used in the “better quality” or “first grade” necklaces comes from the Baltic Sea region. They have been very popular in Europe for decades but only gained notoriety in Australia this decade.

DIRECTIONS

An amber baby necklace is simply meant to be worn around baby’s neck while baby is awake. A baby should not chew an amber necklace.   

MATERIAL

Genuine Baltic Amber.

Amber is fossilised tree resin, or sap. When the bark of a tree has been damaged – a tree cut down or there has been an interruption in the integrity of hard outer bark – sap leaches out. If this is left undisturbed, then over time the resin solidifies to a rock like hardness. Amber bead necklaces are made from polished chips of this resin.

Holes are bored into each chip and then they are threaded onto cord which comes in various lengths so they can be looped over the baby’s head. It is possible to get amber bead anklets and bracelets as well and parents can also buy matching amber bead jewelry, including earrings.
