How to Choose a Pendant for Your Child?
Like other jewellery designed for young fashionistas, children’s pendants are distinguished by a specific theme, lightweight and small size. As for the material from which they are made, the highest demands are placed on jewellery that is worn directly on the body. Continue to read to know how to choose the perfect pendant for your child and how it should look like.
Children pendants
Even though pendants for children are perhaps not the most common accessory (in comparison, for example, with children’s earrings), their design performance is very diverse. The most colourful, fabulous, and fun themes are displayed in children’s pendants. Fish, bear cubs, ladybugs, flowers, cherries, turtles, and the like – flora and fauna serve as an inexhaustible source of inspiration for designers.
Also, all sorts of options for stars, hearts, fairy-tale and cartoon characters are very popular. Everything that is close and understandable to children, that pleases and excites them, is reflected in the jewellery.
How to choose the pendant for the child?
For older children, you can purchase pendants from different materials – plastic, medical steel, jewellery alloys, silver, gold. Inlaid products with pebbles and decorating with bright enamel transforms pendants for children into real works of art. They can be worn on a chain (the same colour as the pendant), on rubber cords, silk ribbons, and leather cords. And if for kids it is preferable to have a soft lace that does not scratch delicate skin, then children choose any base to taste. But we must not forget, especially at primary school age, when children lead a very active lifestyle, that the jewellery must have such an attachment that, in the event of a hook, it can be disconnected without damaging the child’s neck.
Children’s pendants are worn not only on chains or cords but also on bracelets. Especially popular are the so-called charms – thematic pendants that have a certain meaning for the wearer.
A girlish addiction to secrets is perfectly satisfied with children’s medallions. These special pendants open into two halves, inside which you can hide a small memorable thing, such as a photo, a flower or a note. For girls, such games acquire a romantic meaning over time.
A variety of children’s pendants are also used for wearing on mobile phones. Their attachment is different from ordinary pendants, but the pronounced children’s theme allows children to express themselves in this way.
Safety recommendations
The main requirement for children’s jewellery is the safety of construction and materials. It should be lightweight, ergonomic, not cause discomfort when wearing, and the materials used should be hypoallergenic.
The presence of sharp edges and corners that can injure delicate baby skin, both in the decoration itself and in the fastening elements, is unacceptable. It is most optimal to use rounded shapes so that the decoration does not cling to clothes, toys and other objects.
The clasp should be reliable and at the same time easy to disengage, so as not to injure the child in the event that the pendant or earring does catch on something strongly.
