Chewelry

What is chewelry?

Chewelry covers pendants, necklaces and other jewellery made from sturdy, safe material that is designed to be chewed. It offers a safe alternative to chewing on sleeves, collars or pens and meets a natural need to chew. Chewing provides a pleasant, calming input that helps with concentration, tension and sensory processing. Chewelry is widely used by children and adults, including those with ADHD and autism, and comes in designs you can wear discreetly.

Choosing the right chewelry

When choosing chewelry, the main things to consider are chew strength, shape and the user:

• Chew strength: from gentle chewers to heavy biters, such as the tougher Ark Saber Bite for those who chew hard.
• Shape: from a discreet pendant from the Ark Go-To Chew Necklace Pack to a textured Ark Tetra-Bite or an Ark Grabber.
• User: cheerful designs for children and subtle options from brands such as Ark and Chewigem for adults.

For heavy chewers, choose a thicker, tougher piece. Check regularly for wear and replace the chewelry in good time so that chewing stays safe.
