Wearing Children’s Jewellery longer
Children’s jewellery is an investment. Just like adult jewellery it can be pricey. Unlike adults, children will grow and the size of the jewellery will become to small for them. There are things you should consider when purchasing children’s jewellery that can extend their jewellery from a few years to the rest of their lives.
With baby rings you can add them to children’s bracelets. They can be soldered on to the chain or a jump ring can be added to the ring. If a jump ring is added you can also use the ring on a kids chain. Later on the ring can be added on to a larger length chain. In my opinion soldering the ring is the best option as it can be used on a child’s bracelet, children’s chain or even on a baby pin.
Many children’s bracelets are adjustable. This is true for both boy’s and girls bracelets. An open cuff syle child’s bracelet works perfectly for either gender. There are also bangles styles that have an extension band inside them so the child can wear them for several years. Some bangle styles come with a added piece of chain to extend them. Chain style bracelets are made that have several different lengths already incorporated into the design. There are even children’s bracelets that are made of separate links. You can add as many links as you like. So as the child grows you just add more links. These kid’s bracelets come in many different themes and you can also find them in many different materials from gold, silver, stainless steel or even in titanium.
You can also extend the life of children’s neck chains. One of the easiest ways is to purchase a child’s bracelet in the same chain. You can just add it to the necklace to gain anywhere from three to five inches in length. When a child grows to big for the neck chain you can have it sized down to a bracelet. Any good goldsmith can bring it to wrist size and add a jump ring. This can be made into either a single or double chained bracelet.
Children’s earrings can be turned into charms very easily. If they are stud style they can be made into a pendant. Hoop style children’s earrings can made into charms. They sell many different styles of pins for children. Some are as simple as a gold or silver baby diaper pin to more elaborate pins. Baby earrings can easily be added to these pins either by jump rings or soldered right to the pin.
So when you are purchasing children’s jewellery keep in mind how the jewellery can be adjusted or changed as the child grows. Many of the pieces can last a life time.
