Children's amber jewelry safety

Our children's amber jewelry is decorative only. It is not a teething aid. Never let a child sleep in it, chew it or wear it unsupervised.

Why not use amber for teething?

• In December 2018 the US FDA warned against all teething jewelry, including amber.
• Risks: choking on a loose bead, strangulation, mouth injury and infection.
• Reported cases include an 18-month-old strangled by an amber necklace during a nap.
• The FDA says there is no scientific evidence that teething jewelry works.

Safe-use rules

• Wear only while an adult is watching.
• Take it off for naps, bedtime, car seats and play alone.
• Never let a child mouth or chew the beads.
• Check the cord and clasp before each wear; stop using it if anything is loose.

How our children's jewelry is made

• Every bead is knotted individually, so a broken cord doesn't release them all.
• Most pieces close with a plastic screw clasp. It does not break away under pull, so a child must never wear it unsupervised or while sleeping.
• Whether a piece suits your child is your decision as a parent. Never use it for babies who put things in their mouth.
