Your necklace works in two dimensions. For you and for your baby.
Before your baby interacts, the necklace is for you. When their curiosity awakens, it's already designed for them.
Because a good necklace doesn't choose between mom and baby. It accompanies both.
A necklace for each moment of your baby
Each stage is designed for a real neurodevelopmental milestone. They are not versions of the same necklace; they are distinct tools for distinct moments.
The first necklace you wear, the one that's never extra. Before 3–4 months, it's an accessory for you. When the baby starts to explore, it's ready for them.
- Single loop, lightweight and comfortable for nursing
- Small, easy-to-grasp pieces for initial grip
- Reliefs, textures, and beech wood
- Stimulates sight and touch from the beginning
When your baby already grasps with intent and wants to investigate every shape, every texture. The necklace that responds to their curiosity.
- Larger pieces to squeeze and turn
- Greater variety of shapes and textures
- Designed for active oral exploration
- Ideal when the baby already grasps with intent
Designed for babies who can already manipulate objects with ease, pass them from one hand to another, and are refining their pincer grasp. More beads, more details, more challenges for coordination and concentration.
- Classification of sizes and colors
- Development of fine pincer grasp
- Beads that spin on themselves
- Greater visual and cognitive complexity
When does each stage begin?
The answer is not a fixed age, it's a milestone. This table helps you identify exactly when your baby is ready for each necklace.
| Milestone | Stage 1 | Stage 2 | Stage 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| The necklace is for you · 0 to 3 months | |||

|
|
8–9 m Cause and effect, inferior pincer grasp
Uncovers, throws, and observes; interested in what happens when manipulating
|
✓ |
✓ |
|
|
9–11 m Thumb-index pincer grasp, distinguishes shapes
Precision grasps; differentiates sizes and textures
|

✓ |
~ |
|
11–12 m Mature fine pincer grasp
Presses, pulls, and explores with real control and precision
|
✓ |
