Measurement Guide
All measurements are taken from clasp to clasp. To find the best fit, measure with a string or an existing item.
- Anklets: Should fit comfortably, with space for one finger between skin and jewellery.
- Bracelets: Measure wrist circumference and add approximately 1 cm for comfort.
- Necklaces (Adults): Measure an existing necklace or use string to find the desired length. Children’s necklaces must never be too tight and should only be worn under adult supervision.
Safety and Use Recommendations
Amber jewellery is intended for decorative wear. For children under three years old, jewellery should always be worn under adult supervision and never used for chewing or play. Remove while sleeping, bathing, or unsupervised. For adults, handle with care, avoid overstretching elastic styles, and remove jewellery before swimming, exercising, or applying lotions or perfumes.
Raw or Polished Amber – Which Is Better?
Raw amber is unpolished and maintains its natural matte finish, while polished amber has a smooth, glossy surface. Both are equally genuine and differ only in texture and appearance. Choosing between raw or polished amber is a matter of personal preference and style – both offer the same authenticity and craftsmanship.
Are Different Colours of Amber More Valuable?
All natural amber colours are beautiful and unique. Value differences are usually aesthetic rather than quality-related. Darker shades such as dark cherry or cognac are popular for their rich tones, while honey and lemon amber are known for their brightness and transparency.
Will Water or Sunlight Damage Amber?
Amber is an organic gemstone that can be affected by prolonged exposure to water or chemicals. To maintain its shine, remove your jewellery before swimming, showering, or using cleaning products. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat to prevent darkening.
What Happens If the Jewellery Is Pulled?
All GoAmber products are hand-knotted between each bead for safety and durability. If pulled hard or caught, the thread is designed to break safely to prevent injury or damage. Only one bead will come loose because of the double-knotted design.
How Long Will My Amber Jewellery Last?
With proper care, your amber bracelet, anklet, or necklace can last for many years. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals and always store separately in a soft pouch. Amber may darken slightly over time – a natural sign of its organic origin and age.
Can Children Wear Amber Jewellery?
Amber jewellery for children is designed as a decorative accessory and must always be worn under adult supervision. According to EU safety standards, necklaces and anklets are not suitable for children under 36 months due to small parts. Children should never chew or play with amber jewellery.

What Is Baltic Amber?
Baltic amber, also known as succinite, is fossilised tree resin that formed 40–50 million years ago. It is valued for its natural beauty, warm tones, and historical significance. Baltic amber contains trace amounts of succinic acid – a naturally occurring compound that distinguishes it from other amber types.
Is Baltic amber vegan-friendly?
Baltic amber is generally considered vegan-friendly, as it originates from fossilised tree resin formed millions of years ago. During its natural formation, small inclusions such as plant matter may be present, and in rare cases, tiny insects may be found within the amber. These inclusions occur naturally and are not the result of any human intervention. Most amber used in jewellery contains only organic elements such as plant material, moss, or fragments of vegetation.
Our jewellery is crafted using durable polyester thread rather than silk.
Is succinic acid vegan?
Yes, succinic acid is considered vegan. Whether derived through chemical processes or bio-based methods, its production does not involve animal-derived ingredients.
Is Baltic amber suitable for teething babies to chew on?
No, Baltic amber jewellery is not intended for chewing. As a natural resin, amber may break into small fragments if bitten, which can present a choking hazard. For this reason, it should always be kept out of a teething baby's mouth and not used as a toy.
Following EU safety terminology updates, terms such as “amber teething necklace” and “amber teething bracelet” are now referred to as amber jewellery for children. This change applies to terminology only — the materials, craftsmanship, and certified authenticity of Baltic amber remain unchanged.
Is amber toxic for babies?
Baltic amber is a natural material and is not considered toxic. It has been traditionally used in various applications, including cosmetics and fragrances. However, as with any jewellery designed for children, it is important to follow safety guidelines and be mindful of small components such as beads.
How Can You Tell If Baltic Amber Is Real?
Genuine Baltic amber is lightweight, warm to the touch, and often contains natural inclusions and colour variations. Unlike plastic or imitation amber, real Baltic amber is fossilised tree resin formed millions of years ago. GoAmber uses only certified genuine Baltic amber and never uses pressed, reconstructed, melted, plastic, or imitation amber.
