Chew pendants

What is a chew necklace (chewelry)?

A chew necklace, also called chew pendant or chewelry, is a piece of jewellery made of sturdy, safe material that is meant to be chewed on. It offers a safe alternative to chewing on sleeves, collars or pens and meets a natural need to chew. Chewing provides a pleasant, calming stimulus that helps with concentration, tension and sensory processing. Chew necklaces are widely used by children and adults, among others for ADHD and autism.

Choosing the right chew necklace

When choosing chewelry, mainly pay attention to chew strength, shape and user:

• Chew strength: from soft chewers to strong biters; choose a firmness that suits the need to chew.
• Shape: from discreet pendants to chew tubes and textured chew jewellery, such as those from Ark and Chewigem.
• User: cheerful models for children and subtle variants for adults.

For strong chewers, choose a thicker, sturdier piece of chewelry. Check regularly for wear and replace the necklace in time, so chewing stays safe.
