Children's Earrings
When it comes to children's jewellery, earrings are some of the cutest accessories. The good thing about them is that you don’t have to be a little girl to enjoy their whimsical designs. While it can be tempting to buy basketfuls of these cute accessories, you should be mindful of the material they are made of to avoid triggering allergies and general discomfort if the material does not agree with your little one.
Surgical SteelA pair of surgical steel rhinestone earrings, for instance, gives the wearer's lobes a nice sparkle while ensuring the earrings never rust. In fact, surgical stainless steel contains 2 to 3 percent molybdenum, which gives it greater resistance to both industrial and natural corrosives. This means any children's earrings made of this material is likely to last long. However, do be careful with stainless steel earrings in case you or your child is known to have nickel allergies because this material contains 8 to 10.5 percent nickel.
Hoop EarringsA classic style, hoop earrings are circular and come in many designs. From simple thin rods shaped into hoops to thicker hoops with accents, the variety can make any kids' eyes light up. Hoop earrings for kids are usually small in diameter and often feature a cute character like a colourful pony or butterflies. Some may incorporate colourful gems or rhinestones as well. Choose based on your child's favourite themes and colours.
Stud EarringsStud earrings for children are much like those for adults, but the main ornament may be rainbows, kittens, or other cute motifs or characters. As these accessories are relatively cheap, they feature the typical stud design held in place by a clutch or removable friction back. But typically, more expensive ones with precious stones employ a locking method that includes a threaded post and a screw back to ensure they stay on the ears.
