Zarafin -  fine jewellery made out of stone and silver


Rocky has received an Amber Necklace as a protection against ticks.
 
 
 
About Zarafin
Zarafin was created by Gabi Güden, who makes items and jewelleries for people and animals.
Next to jewelleries, leashes, harnesses, bags and bed for dogs, she also makes Amber Necklaces for dogs to protect them from ticks.
 
 
The mode of action of amber against ticks

"Amber is a fossil resin which "matured" for several million years. Due to its origin as resin it contains essential oils. These essential oils unfold a scent which will be transferred onto the dog through constantly wearing it. The scent is usually perceived as pleasant by people, but ticks perceive it as repuslive.

Furthermore, amber necklaces produce a static charge by constanty rubbing on the dog's body and fur. Ticks also perceive this static charge as repulsive.

In order to create the modes of action of amber the amber has to be untreated - also neither polished nor smoothed."
  
 
Application and maintenance of an Amber Necklace

"The Amber Necklace should possibly be worn around the clock. If the dog plays the necklace should be taken off for a short time. The necklace should be discharged before its first use and after a certain time; simply clean the necklace under running lukewarm water. From time to time the Amber Necklace should be recharged in the sun in the morning or afternoon; simply place the necklace in the sun at the mentioned times, but the necklace should be discharged beforehand!"

Our Amber Necklace


I have chosen a natural Amber Necklace (unpolished) with turquoise elements for Rocky.

Elements for natural Amber Necklaces can be chosen from many different gemstones and rhinestones, as well as metal parts.
Every Amber Necklace is therefore individually made.


The chosen elements consist of turquoise and metal parts.


We have chosen a lobsterclasp, however amber necklaces are also available with magnetic closures.


Rockys Amber Necklace has a length of 27cm.



Rocky is wearing his Zarafin Amber Necklace:


Review: I am very pleased with the Zarafin Amber Necklace. It turned out to be exactly how I imagined it. The manufacturer, Gabi Güden, puts a lot of efford into fulfilling every individual customer's wish. Thus, I really like that a wide range of elements, such as gemstones, rhinestones and metal parts are available in order to design an individual Amber Necklace. I am also very happy with the quality as only materials with the best quality are used.
I can not yet review the effects against ticks as Rocky wears the Amber Necklace only for a short period of time. However, I am very curious about it already.
Overall, I am very pleased with the Zarafin Amber Necklace for dogs.
