What Is Baltic Amber?

Baltic amber is a natural product formed from fossilised tree resin, specifically from the Baltic region of eastern Europe. Amber from this region contains a compound called Succinic Acid, which is the active ingredient associated with relieving the symptoms of teething. 
 

How Does Baltic Amber Jewellery Help Teething?

Baltic amber contains an active ingredient called Succinic Acid, which is absorbed through contact with the skin. Traditionally Succinic Acid has been used to relieve a number of symptoms including those related to baby teething.
 

Are Different Colours Of Amber Better?

Short answer: NO.

Some sellers will claim that lighter colours are more affective as a remedy for teething symptoms, however there is no information to say that the active ingredient level varies between the natural colours of Baltic amber. However it is a fact that some colours are harder to source than other so this can lead to variations in prices. 
 

Which Amber Jewelry Options Are Better For Teething?

The main difference between Baltic amber designs as a teething remedy is Raw Vs Polished beads. It's widely speculated that Raw beads have more available active ingredient when compared to Polished beads, however both still have it. There is no difference in active ingredient between the natural colours of Baltic amber.
 

What's The Difference Between Raw & Polished Amber Beads?

Most sources believe that Raw beads have more of the active ingredient (Succinic Acid) available when compared to Polished beads. However, while it may have less when compared to Raw, it is known that Polished beads do still contain the active ingredient and are also used as a traditional teething remedy. Visually, Raw amber beads have a sort of frosted glass look, where as polished is more transparent and shiny. Both are smooth to touch to the point you won't notice any difference in that regard when wearing.
 

Are Gemstone + Amber Jewellery Designs Also For Teething?

Short Answer: YES

While most of our designs are 100% Baltic amber, we do also stock semi-precious gemstone + amber combination designs. You can easily see which designs are not 100% Baltic amber because they will say 'Gemstone' in their product name. Keep in mind that while gemstone + amber jewellery does still contain the active ingredient Succinic Acid in the amber beads; gemstones are generally not considered a teething remedy and so these designs are presumed to have less active ingredient compared to amber only designs. This can easily be compensated for a bit by wearing a gemstone + amber necklace + anklet/set to increase the number of amber beads in contact with the skin.
