What is baltic Amber?
Does it Really Work?
In this era, where so many unscrupulous retailers have tried to profit off of both ancient wisdom and New Age spirituality, it's wise to be sceptical when considering purchasing any crystal reputed to have magical “healing powers”. Thankfully, there is nothing “magical” about the soothing abilities of amber teething necklaces; instead, their effectiveness is based on chemistry.
The real age of genuine Baltic amber is around 30 to 50 million years old. So when you buy amber be careful with quality. We sell only certified Baltic Amber.
What is the Real story?
When looking at amber, one must keep in mind that one is not looking at a rock; amber is an organic compound (tree sap), one which has solidified through the fossilization process. As it is well known that tree components often have analgesic properties (aspirin is famously derived from willow bark, for example),
Why does this matter?
it's unsurprising that certain varieties of amber—Baltic amber in particular—contain the pain-fighting analgesic substance succinic acid. Unpolished Amber beads more effective than polished beads.
But how it works?
This anti-inflammatory agent is heat-released and water-soluble, meaning that as Baltic amber rests against a baby's skin, small amounts of succinic acid wind up being absorbed by the baby's body, helping to relieve the pain of teething.
This “time released” and gentle form of medication is completely safe, being much gentler on an infant's developing body than an oral dose of medication
Understanding Amber's Pain-Killing Properties:
In fact, succinic acid has even been reported to help boost the immune system—something especially helpful to babies, whose immune systems have not had time to develop fully and who are thus susceptible to many illnesses.
Amber has actually been used to help ward off a pain for centuries, but in times past it was largely applied to the treatment of arthritis pain and other adult maladies.

Further Notes on Safety about Amber necklace:
Many parents have expressed concern about the idea of putting a necklace on a baby (notably that it might be a choking hazard), but there's no need for such worries if you buy a properly-made, authentic amber teething necklace.
These necklaces are designed with break-away clasps that allow them to be easily pulled off, meaning that any unnatural tension will remove them before they can do harm.
Likewise, knots are placed after each bead so that even if the necklace breaks, the beads will not get everywhere and present a risk.
Even if your baby does get a hold on a single bead, they are made too small to pose a choking hazard—they would simply be swallowed and pass through the infant's system.
As an added precaution, if you are concerned, don't leave the infant unsupervised while he or she is wearing the necklace.
As a final note, however, be sure to get your amber teething necklace from a reputable retailer who sells only authentic amber.
As amber teething necklaces have become so popular in recent years, fakes have become an issue—these, of course, will not have any beneficial impact, and may be not be designed in a truly infant-safe manner.

Necklaces are priced according to a number of variables:
1) Some Baltic Amber beads are unique and rare or difficult to find.
2) Higher-quality beads are harder to find and therefore more costly to purchase.
3) The shape of the beads affects cost. Round beads and nugget style beads take different lengths of time to refine. Remember that each amber bead is carefully shaped by hand.
