Discover the gentle power of amber and gemstones — and how to choose the right necklace for your little one.
When you’re a parent, you want the best for your baby — especially when it comes to their comfort and wellbeing. That’s why so many mums turn to amber necklaces as a natural way to support teething and promote calm. But did you know that some amber jewellery is paired with beautiful gemstones, each with their own soothing benefits?
At Zebra Babies, we offer a wide range of amber necklaces with gemstones, specially designed for babies and toddlers. This blog breaks down what each gemstone does, why mums love them, and how to use amber jewellery safely.
? What Is an Amber Necklace?
A Baltic amber necklace is made from fossilised tree resin, sourced from the Baltic region. When worn against the skin, amber is believed to release succinic acid, a natural compound thought to help soothe inflammation and discomfort — particularly helpful during teething.
? Gemstones We Use in Our Amber Necklaces — and Their Benefits
Pairing gemstones with amber can enhance the calming, grounding properties of the jewellery. Here are the beautiful natural stones we include in our collections — all chosen with little ones in mind:

2. African Jade
A symbol of peace and harmony, African Jade is said to promote emotional balance. Its calming energy may help babies (and parents!) feel more at ease.
3. Smokey Quartz
This warm-toned stone is believed to absorb negative energy and stress. Often used to promote relaxation and clear thinking — perfect for soothing unsettled babies.
