Go to Your Baby's Age. Phonelic Resins — This type is designed with artificial amber beads. Celluloid — You may confuse it with original amber, but it is a counterfeit. Casein — This is a plastic-type designed from milk. Pressed Amber — This type of amber is subjected under high pressure, which in the process compresses natural pieces making the succinic acid in them less effective.
Copal — Some dealers will sell to you copal type of amber, which is yet to mature and can be classified as adolescent amber, which is when used rarely brings any effect.
Unless you are careful in your buying process, you may end up getting duped and castigating amber necklaces as a big lie. You have to be careful when purchasing baby amber as most of the time; it will be resting on their skin and under the clothing.
You, therefore, need to observe some safety features that may endanger your baby. Here are the things you should observe as you purchase the necklace. The beads should not have jagged edges on any part as that may hurt the baby.
Ensure the beads are threaded with multiple strands as that avoids them from breaking. You should not purchase a necklace that is too tight, or very lose, but make sure it fits right with enough space. Wrist pain, arthritis, carpal tunnel? Try a bracelet. Have abdominal cramps or lower back pain? String two necklaces together to wear around your waist.
A: In theory Baltic amber, if cared for, could last forever. Also over time the surface of the beads tend to get coated with soap scum and other substances that inhibit their ability to release succinic acid into your skin.
So if you clean your amber and are careful with it, it should last for years. A: Yes. The process of drilling the beads can leave cracks that are invisible and only come apart after a few days of regular use. If this has happened to you, our apologies! And so it has been for the past five or so years, where the trendiest of babies sport amber beaded necklaces with fake powers, but real dangers. The pseudoscience of these little gems lies in the material, Baltic Amber that's right, straight from the Baltic region.
Because Baltic Amber can be many millions of years old, the sheer 'ancient-ness' of it somehow gives it some extra street cred at the corner juice bar, fashionista preschool, or yoga studio. The necklaces, claimed to help relieve pain of teething, are ironically comprised of baby-tooth-sized pieces of amber, to be worn around an infant's neck.
The claim is that amber releases a substance called succinic acid, which will be absorbed by the skin when amber is at body temperature. Succinic acid is supposed to have some analgesic effect, thereby easing pain.
