Sizing - How to Measure

Amber jewellery has gained popularity not only as a fashion accessory but also as a natural remedy for various ailments, particularly teething discomfort in children. To ensure maximum comfort and effectiveness, it is essential to choose the right size for your amber jewellery. Whether you are looking for an anklet, bracelet, or necklace, this article will guide you on how to accurately measure and select the appropriate size for both kids and adults.

Measuring Anklets: Anklets are a popular choice for little ones, especially during the teething phase. To measure the correct size for an anklet, follow these simple steps:

Take a piece of string or ribbon and wrap it around your child's ankle. Ensure that it fits snugly but allows you to slide your little finger underneath.
Mark the spot where the string overlaps and then measure it against a ruler. This measurement will give you the circumference of the anklet.
Compare the measurement with the recommended size range for anklets, which is typically between 5.5-6.0 inches or 14-15 cm. Choose the closest size available to ensure a comfortable fit.

Measuring Bracelets: Bracelets are versatile pieces of amber jewellery that can be worn by both kids and adults. To measure a bracelet, you can use either the same method as anklets or measure an existing bracelet you already have. Here's how:

Use a string or ribbon and wrap it around your wrist, making sure it fits comfortably with a little room to spare.
Mark the spot where the string overlaps and measure the length against a ruler. This measurement will give you the circumference of the bracelet.
Compare the measurement with the recommended size range or measure an existing bracelet that fits you well. This will help you find the appropriate size for your new amber bracelet.

Measuring Necklaces: Necklaces are often worn by adults and children alike, providing the greatest pain relief for teething babies when worn close to the site of pain or inflammation. Here are the steps to measure a necklace accurately:

For adults, measure an existing necklace you own or use a string to measure the desired length around your neck. Ensure that the measurement is comfortable and falls at the desired position.
For children, take a piece of string and measure the desired length around their neck. It should not be too long or too tight, allowing for comfort and safety.
Compare the measurements with the recommended size range for necklaces. Keep in mind that the necklace should not be too long to avoid the risk of it coming off or getting tangled.
Consider any specific safety features, such as individually knotted beads or a secure clasp, to ensure the necklace is safe for wearing.

Accurate sizing is crucial when it comes to choosing amber jewellery for kids and adults. By following the measurement guidelines outlined in this article, you can ensure a comfortable fit and maximize the therapeutic benefits of amber. Whether it's an anklet, bracelet, or necklace, measuring correctly will help you find the perfect size and enjoy the natural healing properties of this beautiful gemstone. Remember, safety and comfort should always be prioritized when selecting amber jewellery for you or your loved ones.

Help my child's Baltic amber anklet is too small!

All our anklets are knotted/strung tight to prevent stretching or sagging.

When they arrive with you, there won't be much 'give' so they may appear slightly smaller than ordered.

Measure tight on the ruler as that is how we measure them to mimic being worn. If they are 0.5/1.0 centimetres out, you can stretch them slightly.

Do not hold by the clasps while stretching as they will break off (safety clasps).

Find the knots in the middle and gradually tug on each one until the desired size is found. If that doesn't work, please return.

If you have upgraded from a smaller one to the next size up, then you can screw the old anklet to the new anklet and wrap around the ankle. Both pieces can then be worn rather than sitting in a memento box. This can also be done if you bought two sizes and one is too small and one is too big.

Please always use under supervision in case the items still fall off. If none of the tips work, you can still return/exchange by following the return guide on our website. Always use safely and keep ribbons and small items away from small children.
