Some Tips For Buying Childrens Jewellery
If you are looking to buy an item of childrens jewellery as a gift
, then it is very easy to get confused. It can also be quite a daunting task because you really do not want to make the wrong choice. There are so many different pieces to choose from and unless you have had a wealth of experience it is difficult to know just which item will be the most appropriate.Here are a few hints and tips to steer you in the right direction.
The style.
The easiest way to start is by dividing this jewellery into two categories; the traditional and the contemporary. Traditional items of jewellery are normally made from silver whereas items from a contemporary range are created with other metals. Obviously, price is going to play a part in your choice and traditional pieces will usually be more expensive.
But silver is not necessarily the best choice for every child; you may come across something in a modern range that will make the perfect gift. Jewellery doesnt have to be made of silver to be tasteful and it all depends on what you come across...
Safety.
Earrings make a wonderful gift for a girl, but you have to think about safety. It is not advisable to buy earrings for a very young child even if their ears are pierced as there is always the risk of them being swallowed.
For younger children it is normally a good idea to leave these items to the discretion of the parents. If they have told their little girl that earrings are a no-no and someone proceeds to give a set to her as a gift then it will not go down very well!
Occasion.
Is this gift to celebrate a particular occasion in the childs life? If so, then it is always nice to buy something that is relevant in some way. Many people will give a bracelet or bangle (complete with the childs name engraved) as a gift for a Christening or Holy Communion. Likewise, if it is a birthday present, then having the relevant year engraved is a fitting idea.
Gender.
When you think about childrens jewellery, it is normally little girls who come to mind. However, quite a lot of people buy jewellery as a gift for boys as well.
If you are buying an item for a boy then the golden rule to bear in mind is keep it masculine. Look for a piece (such as a necklace) in darker colours. As long as you remember this then you should not have any problems.
When will it be worn?
Is the item of jewellery intended for occasional or everyday use? You should give this some thought when you are looking around and choose something that is appropriate. However, items of jewellery should never be worn over too long a period of time by young children as it can cause a skin irritation and it is not a good idea to let a child sleep in any jewellery as it can pose a safety risk.
