Does the string stretch on a baby teething amber necklace?

How to check the clasp on a baby amber necklace

The clasp is one of the most important parts to check, especially with everyday wear.

• Gently pull the necklace at both ends — the clasp should stay firmly closed
• Open and close the clasp a few times to make sure it moves smoothly
• Look closely for any gaps, cracks, or bent parts
• Run your fingers over the clasp — it should feel smooth and secure

If the clasp feels loose, stiff, or doesn’t close properly, it’s best to pause use until it’s checked.

Yes — a small amount of stretching is completely normal with everyday wear.

A baby teething amber necklace is strung on a strong, flexible cord so it can move comfortably with your baby throughout the day. With regular use, gentle pulling, and natural movement, the string may relax slightly over time.

This doesn’t mean your baby amber necklace is faulty — it’s a normal part of wearing a natural, hand-strung amber teething necklace.

Stretching may happen more quickly if the baby teething amber necklace is:

  • Worn daily for extended periods

  • Gently pulled or tugged during play

  • Worn during sleep, bath time, or nappy changes

That’s why we recommend regular checks and occasional restringing as part of normal care for all baby amber teething necklaces.
