Safety
Safety is a priority for us when manufacturing our necklaces, to enable us to offer you the highest safety for your child we only use synthetic plastic clasps with a screw thread which has been glued into the barrel of the clasp NOT sterling silver clasps. Sterling silver clasps are designed for fashion and high end jewellery so that the clasps DO NOT release and so you don't lose your jewellery. Plastic screw clasps are designed to release if any pressure is applied to the joint. Cotton is also used for this reason and not silk. Each necklace has been knotted before and after each bead, in the event that the necklace does break and it will break if excessive force is applied, then only one bead will come off and the remaining beads will stay intact.
Workmanship
Every amber necklace has been hand-crafted by Baltic amber specialists with generations of experience who carefully polish and softly round the Baltic amber beads. Unlike cheaper amber 'chips', amberbebe.com uses rounded polished beads, which lay comfortably against your child's skin. This allows maximum skin contact and gives added comfort to your child.
Metaphysical
It is thought wearing amber also protects us against the negative influences of electrical equipment like computers, televisions, mobile phone and microwave ovens.
It has further been reported that when amber is rubbed it changes ionization which can attract light objects with its electric charge. The amber absorbs this energy, which then allows the body to work on positive influences such as our frame of mind and the rebuilding of disturbed electrostatic field.

This tradition makes it an ideal gift for adults and children alike.

Amber is not a crystal and it can not be classified as a stone. Amber is petrified pine tree sap that is between 40 and 50 million years old. Captured within the sap are frequently found small insects, flowers, seeds and other remnants of prehistoric nature. These preserved life forms make Amber an archeological find worth studying.
We are surrounded by all sorts of electrical devices such as radios, television sets, food processors, microwave ovens, hair-dryers, shavers, computers and mobile phones, which affect our own electromagnetic field. Modern research proves that we may protect ourselves by wearing amber necklaces or bracelets. When amber is warmed up it changes ionization, positively influencing our frame of mind and rebuilding the disturbed electrostatic field this enables us to again be full of energy and happy (the term “happy beads” is commonly used).
Ancient Egyptians actually used pine resin as an embalming agent, and in the Civil War, lacking anything else, would sometimes slap tree resin on a wound.
