What does an Amber Necklace Do?

An amber necklace is believed to release succinic acid, a natural compound found in amber, when it is warmed by the skin's natural temperature. When the succinic acid is released, it is thought to be absorbed into the body, where it may help reduce inflammation and relieve pain.

Some people use amber necklaces for teething pain in babies, as the anti-inflammatory properties of succinic acid may help relieve the discomfort associated with teething. Others wear amber necklaces for arthritis pain or other inflammatory conditions.

In addition to its potential healing properties, amber is also prized for its beauty and aesthetic appeal. Amber necklaces come in a variety of styles and designs, and many people wear them as a fashion accessory.

Should I take my Amber Necklace or Bracelet off at night?

Always remove your baby's or kids necklace before putting them to sleep.

For adults it is generally recommended to remove your amber necklace before going to bed, especially if you are a restless sleeper or move around a lot during the night. This is because there is a risk that the necklace could become tangled or caught on something, which could cause discomfort or injury.

 How can I tell if my amber necklace is real?

Firstly, all of our Amber is certified by GIA, the gemological institute of America.

There are a few ways to tell if your amber necklace is real:

1. Look for imperfections: Real amber is a natural substance, so it often has imperfections such as bubbles, inclusions, or small cracks. These imperfections can be seen when you examine the necklace closely.

2. Test for static electricity: Real amber will create static electricity when rubbed against certain materials, such as wool or silk. Rub the necklace against a cloth and see if it creates a static charge.

3. Test for temperature: Amber is a natural resin and will become warm when rubbed vigorously between your palms. Rub the necklace between your palms and see if it becomes warm.

4. Check for scent: Real amber has a distinctive, resinous scent that you can smell when you hold it close to your nose. Be careful not to inhale too deeply, as the scent can be overpowering.

5. Do the saltwater test: Mix a solution of one part salt and two parts water, and dissolve the salt completely. Drop the necklace into the solution. Real amber will float in saltwater, while fake amber made of plastic or other materials will sink.

Which amber color is the strongest?

The strength of amber is not necessarily determined by its color, but rather by its age, clarity, and chemical composition. Generally, the older and clearer the amber, the stronger it is considered to be.

Amber that is more than 50 million years old is generally considered to be the strongest and most valuable, as it has had more time to harden and solidify. Clear or translucent amber is also considered to be stronger than opaque or cloudy amber, as it has fewer impurities and is less likely to crack or break.

However, it is important to note that the strength of amber can vary widely depending on the individual specimen and its specific characteristics, so there is no one color of amber that is universally considered to be the strongest.
