Inspired by Finn Baltic Amber Jewelry review and giveaway/discount! CLOSED 5/2

 

Inspired by Finn sells Baltic amber and hazelwood jewelry, including the beautiful teething necklace I was given to review.

The first time I heard "amber teething necklace" I thought people must be nuts.  Then, I learned about the benefits of Baltic amber.  I figured out that no, people weren't allowing their children to chew on jewelry.  When Baltic amber is worn on the skin, the skin’s warmth releases trace amounts of healing oils from the amber. These oils contain succinic acid and are absorbed into the skin.

Read more about the benefits of Baltic amber and check out the available shapes and colors.

I asked Inspired by Finn to choose the shape, color and length of my son's teething necklace for me.

It came in a cute gift box.

All jewelry is lead-free and phthalates-free and it meets all US legislative testing (CPSIA) requirements for children's jewelry.

Each bead is individually knotted and while it isn't "stretchy," it does have a tiny bit of "give" to it.  It will break if pulled, which is good for safety's sake.  Even so, I, personally, did not put the necklace on my son for naps etc.

The necklace has an easy to use, secure closure.

After I took these photos, I tucked the necklace under his shirt, so it was in contact with his skin.

The necklace is absolutely beautiful, and I want one for myself, if only because it is so pretty!

I couldn't resist taking this photo, he gave me the biggest grin when he saw the camera!

My husband says he looks like a hippie, and the cashier at Old Navy thought he was a girl.  My mom said it was because of the necklace, but several weeks ago, a Dad at the park told me he was "too pretty to be a boy" because of his big brown eyes and long lashes, LOL.  I think he looks adorable!

I can't really say whether it has eased his teething pain.  However, since he started teething, he has never really napped. 

After wearing the necklace, he napped for an hour and a half!!  So  yeah, I love my Inspired by Finn teething necklace!

Thank you to Inspired by Finn for providing the products for the review and giveaway.  The freebie in no way influenced my review.

Edit August 2010:  We stopped using this when my son kept lifting it from under his shirt, over his chin and putting it in his mouth.  I have been wanting to buy a short one but haven't yet!
