Business Spotlight Section
CHEWIGEM ™ was founded in the UK by Shelli
Smartt, a mother that was looking for alternative jewelry ideas for her teething infant. After successfully
launching a product line to meet that need, she quickly discovered that these products could also be used to
calm the most fidgety of folks and meet the chewing
needs of individuals of all ages.
CHEWIGEM ™ was born out of the need to provide a stylish, yet discreet alternative to those that have extra needs to chew. All products within our line are
made of FDA approved silicone and are non-toxic, lead, latex, BPA, PVC and phthalate free.
As parents of a child with Asperger’s, we clearly understand the importance of a quality product
that provides comfort and confidence to a child in need. When a child or adult with additional
needs is better able to focus and self soothe, their confidence level increases while their anxiety
level decreases.
They have such a wonderful array of collections for each individual style and need. From pendants to
bracelets there is sure to be something for your sensory seeking child. Read more from their reviews section

In closing, Chewigem is a global company with affiliates all over the world. Each affiliate owner has some
connection to the special needs
community, whether it be as a parent, educator or clinician. They
use those positions when developing and designing new products.
Chewigems are designed to be safe,
discreet and FUNctional and can
be used for all age groups from 3+.§
