During the holidays I found one quiet day alone and invited my granddaughter for the day.  I had given her a children’s jewellery box and a child’s bracelet for Christmas and I wanted to spend the day putting all of her baby jewellery in it.

We had a wonderful time.  First we took all of her jewellery, her baby rings, children’s necklaces and pendants and laid them all out on the kitchen table.  She has started to get a fair size collection.  We put all of her baby rings together then her children’s bracelets and then her chains and pendants.

We opened the children’s jewellery box and I showed her were each piece should go.  One by one we cleaned each piece with a soft damp clean cloth.  She put each piece into it’s new home.

I then decided that we should go threw my old jewellery and see if there were any pieces that she would like.  First she found a few of my children’s charms and we cleaned them and added them to one of her children’s charm bracelets.  I told her stories of who gave them to me and of some special times that I wore them.

We put on a pot of strawberry tea and set out a plate of cookies.  There were several other pieces that she would ask me to tell her about.  While we were playing in the children’s jewellery we were creating special memories.

We finished with all of the jewellery and her little children’s jewellery box was more than half full.  It was such wonderful afternoon that we decided that we were going to do it every year after the hustle of the holidays.

It fills me with joy that while the children’s jewellery will be safely kept in her little jewellery box, the memories that we created will always be safely kept in our hearts

Care for Children’s Jewellery

Posted on 10:22 am

Your child is starting to acquire quite a few jewellery pieces and it is important to teach them how to care for them. You want your children’s jewellery to last a life time and that requires the same care that you would give to your own jewellery.

One of the first things that needs to be done is to find the proper storage for it. There are many different styles of children’s jewellery boxes available on the market today both for male or females. You can chose to have their jewellery all in one box or have several different ones. One for just baby jewellery, chains, rings or children’s bracelets and as they grow, one for their good jewellery and one for children’s fashion jewellery.

It is always important to wipe off your jewellery with a soft cloth before you store it away. Keep your child’s silver jewellery either in a special lined jewellery box or wrap the peice in tissue paper to keep it from tarnishing. Never clean your children’s jewellery with any commercial cleaner as it is not safe for them. Only use a soft damp cloth or a little soap and water with a very soft tooth brush. Rinse it off with warm water and make sure that the piece is very dry before storing it.

I you child has any jewellery with pearls on it you must take care. Never keep pearls in an air tight environment, (pearls need to breath). Baby rings, necklaces and children’s bracelets with pearls should be kept together in a separate compartment in your childrens jewellery boxes.

Your children’s jewellery, if well taken care of should last a life time. A few times a year spend time with your child to go threw all of their jewellery. Clean and inspect each piece. Check all of the clasp on all of the necklaces and bracelets. You can use a magnifying glass to check all of the prongs on any of the baby rings and pendants. Make sure all of the stones and pearls are secure. If they are not any reputable jeweller can fix them for you for a very reasonable fee.

So have some fun and make some very special memories with your child, while at the same time teaching them how to care for their little treasures.

Children’s Jewellery: Rings

Posted on 11:31 am

Rings are a great way for kids to express themselves.  Remember, it’s one of the only pieces of jewellery that they can actually see themselves wearing!  So don’t be surprised to see your little treasure constantly wagging their fingers to see their little treasure.

Although you might think rings are only appropriate for girls, there are also engravable signet rings for boys as well.  What guy doesn’t love to to have a gold ring with his initials, just for him.

Rings are a great piece of children’s jewellery to give as a present.  Later, when the rings no longer fit, they can be strung on a chain and worn as a pendant, just slip the chain through it.  There is no rule that says you can only put one ring on the chain at a time;  putting several on one chain looks nice, too.  This is true for both girls and boys.

Keeping in mind that these pieces of children’s jewellery may well be worn into adulthood it is a good idea to invest in high quality rings.

Saftey tips for buying children’s jewellery

Posted on 9:42 am

Children’s jewellery is a wonderful gift idea. There are so many different types and styles of jewellery and you can find children’s jewellery from birth right up to late teens but there are things you must consider when purchasing jewellery for children.

Always buy jewellery that is age appropriate! For small children close fitting earings are safer than anyting that dangles. I would not recommend any type of chain or necklace for small children as they can easily be  choked by them. Consider children’s bracelets or baby rings. Make sure that the bracelets do not have any beads or charms that can come off. For children over seven this would not be a problem. Also be careful that there is no lead in the piece and that if it is made of leather or plastic that the finish on it is safe as small children often put things in their mouth.

Another thing I do not recomend is any kind of children’s jewellery under the age of ten to have their name on it. The exception to this would be a medical identification piece. For children older than ten years of age the main thing to look for is lead and nickle free jewellery. Lead in jewellery is poisonous and while nickle is not necessarily poisonous many people (not just children) are allergic to it. So keep these saftey tips in mind when purchasing children’s jewellery and if you are not sure about a piece ask the vendor questions. If they do not have the answers for you I would consider another piece (or another vendor!).
