How to Care for Your Baltic Amber Jewellery – GoAmber Care Guide

At GoAmber, our mission is to craft safe, durable, and authentic Baltic amber jewellery for children and adults. Each piece is thoughtfully handmade from certified Baltic amber, ensuring exceptional quality and natural beauty.

Once your child (3+ years) becomes accustomed to wearing their amber necklace, bracelet, or anklet, proper care will help keep it safe, beautiful, and long-lasting. Below are our expert care tips to ensure your amber jewellery remains in excellent condition for years to come.

1. Clean Gently with Lukewarm Water

There are no strict rules for how often you should clean your Baltic amber jewellery, but gentle cleaning from time to time helps maintain its natural shine.

• Use lukewarm water and a soft cloth to wipe the beads.
• Add a mild, gentle soap only if necessary.
• Avoid hot water, chemical cleaners, or alcohol-based products, which can weaken the cord and dull the beads.
• If your jewellery features silver parts, use a sterling silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish safely.

Always remove amber jewellery before swimming or bathing, as prolonged water exposure may weaken the cord or affect the polish.

2. Keep Away from Direct Sunlight

While Baltic amber naturally displays warm, honey-like tones, it can be sensitive to prolonged sunlight. Avoid leaving it on windowsills, car dashboards, or other hot surfaces. When outdoors, keeping the necklace or bracelet under clothing helps protect the amber and preserve its natural appearance.

3. Store Baltic Amber Separately

Baltic amber is a soft and organic gemstone that can scratch easily if stored with metal or hard jewellery. To preserve its smooth surface:

• Keep your amber jewellery in a separate box or soft pouch.
• Avoid placing it next to metal chains, rings, or other hard gemstones.
• Our GoAmber packaging — made from linen or eco-friendly carton — is ideal for safe, individual storage.

Proper storage keeps your amber jewellery looking radiant and helps prevent accidental damage.

4. Supervise Your Child While Wearing Amber Jewellery

Amber jewellery is designed to be worn as an accessory. Always supervise children aged 3+ while they wear their amber necklace, bracelet, or anklet, and ensure they do not pull excessively on the cord.

Overstretching may cause the cord to loosen or alter the fit. Supervision helps ensure both safety and longevity of the jewellery.

Extra Tips for Long-Lasting Amber Jewellery

• Polish occasionally with a soft, dry cloth to restore amber’s natural glow.
• Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, and oils, which may affect the amber’s finish.
• Inspect the clasp and cord regularly to ensure they remain secure.
• Rotate between pieces if your child has more than one amber bracelet or necklace to prevent overuse wear.

In Summary

Caring for Baltic amber jewellery properly helps preserve its beauty, safety, and durability. With a few simple steps — gentle cleaning, proper storage, and regular supervision — your jewellery can maintain its natural charm for many years.
