Our jewelry is handmade using original Baltic Sea Amber that is over 45 million years old. Baltic Amber has some of the highest concentrations of Succinic Acid found in nature and this is what makes it so special. Fossilized tree sap that has been preserved for millions of years under the sea. It is a true gift from Mother Nature. These bracelets are hand strung with amber beads that are smooth and round; on a clear gum elastic stretch cord so that the bracelet may be worn with ease. CanyonLeaf Baltic Sea Amber + Gemstone Jewelry is made for wearing, not for chewing.  Our jewelry is not designed to be an amber teether or teething necklace and it should never be placed in the mouth.  Naturally....
