The theory behind amber teething jewellery is that a baby’s body heat triggers the release of a small amounts of oil from the amber containing succinic acid, which is also a naturally-occurring substance in the body. When the oil is absorbed, it is said to relieve the pain of sore gums caused by teething.
The teething jewellery from How I Adorn Thee is meant to be chewed, much like a teething ring or toy, and does not provide any chemical pain relief. If you’ve seen your teething baby gnawing on anything within reach, including your own expensive jewellery when they can get their hands on it, then you understand the purpose of our silicone and natural wood products!
