Hi Carolee,
Thanks very much for writing and I'm so sorry about that. That is definitely a defect in the claps itself and highly unusual. Please email us at contact@hazelaid.com for an immediate replacement.
Thanks again,
Brian
Could not even wait for this to come in the mail.
I have gotten a new one for each of my kids, so this is my 3rd purchase. Always great! I recommend to all my friends! I'll never purchase from anywhere else!
I found this site when I was looking for somewhere to buy Hazelwood for my son who struggled with severe reflux as a baby. I bought him a Hazelwood bracelet and it was life changing. When he finally outgrew the reflux I switched him to Baltic Amber and he has worn it everyday since. He is about to be 4 and he still wears it every day. I usually buy new ones from here every 6 months or so and am always satisfied. I recently bought an Hazelwood anklet for a friend who suffers from eczema and another friend whose baby is struggling through teething. I recommend this site specifically to anyone who asks about my sons necklace. 10/10
I don't usually leave reviews but thought it would be considerate to warn those who ignored negative views on the wrong color of this necklace. The necklace you will receive will most likely be the lemondrop color and if you reach out to let owners know they sent the wrong color, you'll most likely get an email back saying, tough luck, you can return or exchange and that it was the right necklace just a "lighter batch". I write this to let future customers know the colors are completely wrong and owners will not own up to their mistake. Unfortunate since this was the second necklace i ordered from them (same necklace was ordered 2 years ago with no issue).There are plenty of other sites to order from. I would not order from Hazelaid again.
Hi Katie,
Thanks for adding your experience, we always leave these up even if the stars are low because we want our customers to have the most information as possible when making there selections! :) And I'm so sorry that it wasn't a good experience this time around. Trying to respond to your specific feedback, our team member didn't own up to a mistake because one wasn't made? As the product listing says, 'As always exact bead color and shape can vary slightly.' Obviously we seek to match each piece to the color to the picture on the listing as much as possible but given the high level of variation of real Baltic amber, it's never 100% exact. That experience can be exasperated if you order the same item again later and you end up with items each on the far end of the range we consider acceptable for 'Cinnamon.'
All that said, we *always* process returns and exchanges at our own expense if you don't absolutely love your item. :)
If we don't hear back from you again on the offer of a return or an exchange, we'll refund you for this item.
Thanks again,
Brian
We love this necklace! She has so much less drooling and crying when she has it on now that she is teething. We would definitely recommend this necklace to anyone who is interested in teething relief. Not to mention the excellent customer service. We are now forever customers
I had some issues, twice, and everything was quickly corrected and I couldn't be happier.
I had ordered one for my son, it broke a month or so later. So I ordered another one, with a coupon the gave me that only took off tax, and it broke too! I really thought it was beautiful and helped my son, but I cannot order a third one.
Hi Char,
I think we connected by email just now but thanks again for writing us on this, your most recent break is covered by our 90 day warrantee and so we'll have a free replacement out to you ASAP! :)
Thanks again,
Brian
Although pretty, this necklace I received looks nothing like the color in the photo. It way lighter, like the lemon shade.
Hi Beth,
Thanks very much for reaching out, I'm sorry the color was off, it sounds like you might have gotten a Lemondrop? It's not an exact size but it shouldn't look terribly different from the picture. :/ If you'd like to exchange it please let us know and we can make that happen and waive the exchange fee, cover your return shipping, etc. Just write us at contact@hazelaid.com and we'll get it fixed for you! :)
Thanks again,
Brian
I absolutely love this necklace. My son wore it for quite a while until he grew out of the size we bought. I love that I could switch it to his ankle during naps and at night. I'm giving it 4 stars because it didn't give us quite the results we expected compared to what we had heard, but it did seem to calm him down some. Ordering a larger size now to see how it goes. I will also add that he wasn't in the throes of teething while wearing this. He is now, which is why we are ordering a larger size.
I got this as a variation for my son to wear. Just as great in teething process and stylish.
For the shipping and everything it ended up being over $25. I did the salt water test which proved that it wasn't glass or anything but when I did the hot needle test, it smelled just like burning plastic and I was told it was supposed to smell like Pine. I will be expecting to get my money back!!
Hi Rebecca,
Thanks for the review, it raises helpful questions regarding testing Baltic amber. We get all of our Baltic amber direct from Lithuania, we have a long and trusted relationship with our supplier there, and we have a 100% Authenticity Guarantee on all of our products, so of course it's no problem to do a full refund if that's what you wish. :)
Out of all of the ways that you can test your amber, the hot needle test or burn test (or any other test involving heat or fire) is probably the hardest one to do. It involves damaging your amber and produces a smell that to some smells a bit like pine, to others smells like burning plastic. Unfortunately there is a bit of a range in what is normal for both the smell and how people perceive it. Ultimately most people agree it's not a nice smell, so we don't recommend it as a test, and also because of the damage to your jewelry.
Also I should mention that after being in the Baltic amber business for several years now, we have come to realize that much of the fear around Baltic amber comes from the larger amber market, stuff that has inclusions (bugs trapped in the amber, etc.) or other large and rare pieces valued in the thousands and tens of thousands. I suspect that very few, if any, vendors are actually selling fake amber. The profit margin just isn't there to justify it, and so instead much of the fear is crossing over from the legitimate concern whenever buying a larger amber piece as an art object or whatever.
Anyway, hopefully that all helps. You can read more about baltic amber and how to test your amber safely at our 'All About Amber' page:

We'll contact you again directly just to make sure that we get through to you on this issue and work out that refund (if you are still concerned).
Thanks again,
Brian
I recommend these to all of my friends. Not just for teething babies/toddlers but any adults with neck/shoulder/ headaches.
With my daughter it was a huge game changer and she handles teething so much better with her Baltic amber. If I forget to put it in after her bath I know it. She has worn one from 6 months until now she is almost two and teething still is horrible without it.
I also wear one and can't say enough. I get fewer headaches and shoulder pains when I have mine one.
Great Quality, Great Price, Great customer service!
I cannot say enough about how much I love Baltic Amber for teething! We chose the Cinnamon color for our 4 month old boy (husband wasn't a fan of the butter color). Although it is listed as 8 out of 10 for strength, there was a noticeable relief in his discomfort and drool within 24 hours of wearing his necklace.
I highly recommend a twist clasp as the pop clasp was too much fun for my little one now that he is older and we ended up losing our first necklace in Disneyland. He is teething again and I couldn't figure out why he was so unhappy this time around until I remembered his amber necklace was gone. We decided we needed a replacement. These necklaces are well worth the investment!
