We're often asked: which is best, raw or polished? Bean or round shape? which color works best? For 99.99% of all babies, ANY color, polish, or shape will work well. It is rare, but some babies DO respond to one color vs another (very rare) and in even more rare occurrences, roughly .005% of babies will not respond to amber at all. Just buy the necklace you love and it should work well for your baby or toddler! We suggest newborn through 11 months can fit the 11 inch well. In fact, many children up to 3 years can still fit this necklace, but for the average baby, 11 months is maximum. If you can fit 3 fingers in, it's a great fit. From 5 months to 5 years, we suggest 12.5 inches. Pre-Teen 13-14 inches. Adults and Teens 15 inches plus! The necklaces are slightly stretchable as well if you need an extra inch. Without pulling at the clasps, gently pull bead to bead until you've gone around the entire necklace one time. Try out the new size and repeat if a longer length is desired. Most people ask this when they are looking to buy their first item with us and wonder if one is "better" than the other. You should get a necklace or bracelet in mind with the problem you have, and where it is located so the benefits can better transfer to the area. If you are getting it for a baby or toddler and want the necklace, but do not want to worry about them supervising them like a hawk, you can wrap the necklace so it can fit like a bracelet around their arm. It is the perfect "2 in 1" idea. We also have sets of each available so you can get the best of both worlds if you want to use both. No, the colors of the necklace are shades. Milk is a whitish yellow, Lemon is a lemony yellow. Honey is a golden yellowish brown. It can vary light to dark based on when the amber was mined. Cognac is a darker brown and varies from light to dark based on when the amber was mined. Cherry is typically black in color. Occasionally you may notice some red or ruby tints but cherry is mostly black. Multi or Rainbow are a mix of three or four colors above typically. We also have semi-precious rainbow and that mixes the gemstones in our necklaces. Probably not! The amber is all natural from the earth. Each bit of tree resin is hardened into a bead to be placed onto the necklace. The beads are sorted by size and strung. But color, shape, texture can vary from necklace to necklace. It is more rare to find two that are exact. The amber and other stones release microscopic amounts of oil, as it warms with the body's natural temperature, that is absorbed into the skin and bloodstream. Baltic Amber contains succinic acid (anti-fever, anti-inflammatory), the compound that gives Baltic Amber teething necklaces the therapeutic quality. FOR CHILDREN UNDER 3: Teething necklaces should be removed during naps and when unsupervised.
