ARK's Seashell Chew Necklace - a robust chewelry option for anyone who needs to chew. Fans of the beach, mermaids, the ocean, and more will love this nautilus-themed design. Because of the spiral shape, this seashell chew pendant gets thicker as it spirals out, giving you the option to chew on different thicknesses. Each pendant measures about 2.3" wide, 1.8" tall, .5" thick in the area between the cords, and .6" thick at the end of the spiral - a great option for chewing with your front teeth. Use this seashell necklace as a safe alternative to chewing on pencils, shirts, fingers, etc. and to help calm, focus, and self-regulate. Standard - This is the softest level, recommended for mild chewers (those who do not chew through anything). XT / Medium Firm - This is the middle level, which we call XT ("Xtra Tough"). It's firmer, but still fairly chewy, recommended for moderate chewers. XXT / Very Firm - This is the toughest level, which we call XXT ("Xtra Xtra Tough"). It still has some “chewability” to it, but it’s fairly rigid / pretty firm. No chew tool is indestructible, but this is usually the longest lasting level for avid chewers. Designed, manufactured, and assembled in the USA by ARK Therapeutic. Medical grade, FDA compliant, NO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex. Caution: This product is not a toy. The clasp and cord are not intended for chewing. Contains small parts that may pose a choking hazard - direct supervision required. Recommended for ages 5 years and up. Although these chew tools are sturdy and durable, no chew tool is indestructible. Wear/tear may be expected given the nature of the intended use. How long they last is typically equal to the amount and intensity of the chewing, as well as other variables (such as jaw strength, stress/anxiety levels, if other sensory strategies are in place, etc.). While for some people a chew tool will last forever, for others with heavy/aggressive oral needs, they may go through it very quickly. Please supervise at all times, regularly inspect the chew, and replace at first sign of wear and tear.
