Children's & Baby Jewelry

When it comes to looking great, the desire to stand out knows
no age. Whether you're tall or small, young or old, wanting to
shine is a part of life. Over the years, both children's and
baby jewelry have grown in popularity. Just as women want to
look pulled together for work and everyday life, the little ones
are quickly catching onto the trend of fashion and they are
taking notice of jewelry styles in a big way.

Sterling silver is a popular metal when it comes to choosing
both children's and baby jewelry. In addition to being sturdy,
these styles are also very affordable. Because youngsters may
not yet be able to appreciate the importance of protecting their
jewelry, it's often a good idea to start them out with something
that is affordable and can be replaced for a minimal amount of
money. With that being said, it's equally important to note
that sterling silver is still a precious metal, which means you
are not dressing your child in a mystery metal. Instead, you
are giving her a jewelry gift that she can look back on in years
to come with fondness.

Choosing jewelry for your little one is always fun, but it's
equally enjoyable when she can join in on the selection process.
Many young girls like wearing an ID bracelet, which can be
engraved with her name, nickname or even a favorite phrase. If
you purchase an ID bracelet directly from a jewelry retailer who
does not offer engraving, you can easily have it engraved upon
receipt by taking it to a local jeweler. If you are choosing
sterling silver, you will be glad to know that it can be
engraved just as easily as any other metal.

If your little one is pleading with you to get her ears
pierced, you will be glad to know that there are plenty of
styles that she can wear without feeling overpowered by the
design. Specifically, birthstone stud earrings, polished bead
styles and even cubic zirconia stud earrings will be ideal for a
young lady who is just starting to decorate her ears. Depending
on her preference and age, it may also be possible for her to
wear a small pair of hoop earrings that fit closely to the ear
so as to not worry about them dangling or getting caught on her
sweater.

Rounding out the popular jewelry picks for young ladies are a
dainty necklace and pendant combination or a delicate ring.
These items are not recommended for a baby for the obvious
reasons, but a young girl may certainly be able to enjoy either
of these accessories. If you're in doubt as to age limits, ask
your family physician and also consult with the retailer as to
exact size of the item if you are ordering online. Some popular
motifs for a pendant choice may be a star to let her know that
she makes your life brighter, a heart to remind her of your love
or a specific motif that reflects her personality, birthstone,
favorite hobby, sport, etc.
