This necklace is designed to be strong enough for use as a nursing necklace.
What's a Nursing Necklace?
Nursing necklaces are simply a necklace or piece of jewelry that can be worn by moms with small children.
At around the age of 3 or 4 months, babies start to notice their surroundings more, and they often like to pinch, scratch, poke, and yank on hair while breastfeeding or bottle feeding. When babies reach this age, many moms also find their favorite jewelry gets yanked and broken, and all the beads go clattering to the floor.
These necklaces are designed to be interesting and fun for little hands while strong enough to be tugged and yanked. They also provide something fun and pretty to grab without hurting you.
But most of all, these necklaces are meant to be nice enough to be worn just as jewelry for its own sake. You do not have to have a baby of nursing age to enjoy these necklaces as jewelry, and in fact, I design each piece with the hope that it will be enjoyed long after baby has grown up. Many of my customers don't have children at all.
All of my "nursing necklaces" are tested for strength and interest by my daughter and son.
Nursing necklaces would make a great baby shower gift for the new-mother, or for a visiting auntie or grandmother as well!
Please note: Nursing necklaces should not be used as teethers or toys, nor should they be left alone with an infant or toddler, as the beads are a choking hazard and the cord is a strangulation hazard.
