When choosing your Amber worry beads, a good tip is to actually try them out before you buy them. Many people report feeling a strong physical and mental attachment to their Amber worry beads and although this is often built up over time and with use, a good portion of it is attributable to the size of the beads and interestingly… what they are strung on.
Whilst many beads will be presented on cord, some are strung on thin strips of leather and even on gold or silver chains. Whilst some people enjoy the feeling of metal chains between their fingers, others find it irritating to sensitive skin. Testing a set of Amber worry beads is no problem and most retailers understand that “try before you buy” is acceptable.
