    You really just need to ensure that it's baltic amber and not just regular amber. Also make sure that the beads are strung in such a way as to be safe for babies - this means there'll be a knot in between each bead. I also recall reading that they are more effective if they use a pale or milky amber. Most places that make them for babies that I've seen online seem ok - just shop around for price and to find one that you like the look of.

    There is a shop called Sunshine N Lollipops - they were a nappy hunt sponsor - who sell baltic amber necklaces, individually knotted, and they are the cheapest I have seen at $25-$30.

    Ours is from Amber Bebe, and I think they are generally $30-$40 from there.
