my baby doesn't seem to notice the necklace. it looks very nice, but we bought it of course to help with teething, not because of how it looks. It looks just like the picture--Each amber bead is a nice size. Another baby amber necklace we boughts beads were tiny, and the necklace didn't hang very nicely. --i prefer the larger beads because there is more amber there to help with the teething.  so far so good! i much prefer having her wear this knowing it will reduce her discomfort than waiting until she's miserable and having to then consider options.
