jewelry that grows with them

Choosing jewelry for babies and young children is a delicate balance between beauty, safety, and meaning. Whether you’re celebrating a first birthday, a baptism, welcoming a new sibling, or simply want to mark a moment with something timeless, baby and kids' jewelry should feel just as intentional as anything you’d wear yourself; a lasting reminder of love, connection, and belonging.

Here’s what to consider when choosing the perfect piece:

what to look for in children’s jewelry

Safety is non-negotiable when it comes to baby and kids’ jewelry. That’s why every piece in our collection is made using high-quality, hypoallergenic materials like 14k gold and sterling silver, chosen for their durability and skin sensitivity.

What makes a piece child-safe?

Screw-back earrings: Designed to stay secure and flush to the ear, these backs help prevent poking or pulling.
Rounded edges and smooth finishes: Essential for comfort and to avoid scratching delicate skin.
No sharp or loose elements: Each piece is engineered to minimize risk while maintaining elegance.

choosing the right fit For Children’s Jewelry

Proper sizing ensures the piece is both comfortable and safe. When shopping for baby bracelets or kids’ earrings, here are a few tips:

Baby & Kids Bracelets

Our baby bracelets are sized for little wrists but offer room to grow. Look for pieces with gentle chains and smooth clasps.

Earrings

For newly pierced ears, screw-back studs are ideal. Start with lightweight options like hearts, stars, or birthstones in 14k gold or sterling silver.
