Few things are quite as precious as giving a little child their first jewelry.
And as parents and gift-givers ourselves, Cherished Moments understands wanting to give your little ones only the best.
So, what do you need to know when browsing for baby gold jewelry?
It’s precisely for this reason that we’ve created this guide — to help you shop for safe and stylish baby gold jewelry.
Why Choose Gold Jewelry for Infants?
Gold jewelry might not be the first thing that comes to mind when searching for a gift for your new little one, especially when there are gorgeous teddies and blankies.
From a societal viewpoint, gold is special. It symbolizes success, achievement, and prosperity — things we all want for our kids.
Gold is also a timeless precious metal, making it a perfect element for creating lasting memories to be passed down for generations as a heirloom.
To top everything off, when crafted with love and skill, gold jewelry is a beautiful way to celebrate both big and small moments, like birthdays or christenings.
Choosing Safe Jewelry for Babies
Babies and toddlers have soft and delicate skin, which means materials like nickel and brass can easily irritate them.
These little bundles are also known for exploring and putting things in their mouths (and noses).
So, it’s vital to always look for pieces made with the highest standard of materials and workmanship.
At Cherished Moments, each piece and component is tested for strength and safety. Enabling you to feel confident in your choice for your little one.
You also want these pieces to sit comfortably without hindering their movements.
Keep the following safety and comfort guidelines in mind when looking for baby gold jewelry.
Material Matters
Select pieces made from high-quality gold or gold-plated sterling silver. These are hypoallergenic, meaning they do not contain any of the known contaminants that may lead to skin irritation or reactions.
All of Cherished Moments’ gold jewelry is made from 14K gold-plated sterling silver.
Our goal is to offer beautiful gold pieces at a more affordable price point.
Gold-plated sterling silver jewelry gives the luxurious look of 14-karat gold (that won’t erode off) at a much friendlier cost for most families' budgets.
Our wish is to offer you the best for your dollar.
We offer 14K gold-plated sterling silver because sterling silver is more durable than pure gold, so our pieces will endure the little energy balls’ adventures.
Size & Shape
Always do your best to purchase the correct size for your child.
If you are unsure about the correct size, use our Cherished Moments size guide or opt for adjustable pieces.
Look for pieces that are smooth with round edges. This will prevent the jewelry from catching, poking, or scratching the little one’s skin.
Because safety is paramount, we check all our pieces to ensure they are durable and safe for little ones.
Secure Closures
Added to the previous point, the gold baby jewelry you buy should have sturdy and secure clasps.
This will ensure that they won’t accidentally come undone during daily wear.
We offer beautiful yet durable lobster clasp closures on all our bracelets and necklaces and stylish, secure screw backs for all our post earrings. These extra touches not only increase the functionality of our pieces but also give a feeling of added luxury without adding expense.
Lightweight
You want kids to wear jewelry that’s not too heavy so it won’t get in the way of their having fun.
14K gold-plated sterling silver jewelry is light enough to be comfortably worn every day.
Easy Cleaning
It’s a well-known fact that kids can get dirty by practically standing still in an empty room. So, choose jewelry that is easy to clean.
Gold and gold-plated options are great jewelry choices, as they can be cleaned with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water.
For the best practice and to ensure your pieces’ longevity, we include a care instruction card with each piece we ship.
Types of Baby Gold Jewelry
Another great thing about baby gold jewelry is that it comes in so many options and designs.
Remember to think about the child’s age, size, and style (if they’re still little, consider their mother’s style) when choosing a piece to gift.
So, what golden treasures can you find at Cherish Moments?
Baby Gold Necklace
A dainty gold necklace with a small pendant is a timeless classic.
A delicate gold heart or cross makes the perfect addition to any outfit. Worn every day or for a special occasion, these versatile pieces make any outfit a little more special.
Baby Gold Bracelet
Bracelets offer a plethora of choices. From simple bangles and cuffs to beaded strings and charm bracelets — we have options for everyone!
Just remember to choose an adjustable one that’ll fit as your little one grows.
Baby Gold Ring
Baby gold rings are such special keepsakes. It’s a sweet and subtle accessory to adorn a tiny finger.
But make sure they are smooth and lightweight so they won’t catch on clothing or blankets or scratch the wearer.
Try simple bands or rings with small stones or a tiny engraving space.
Baby Gold Earrings
For pierced ears, tiny golden studs or small hoops that sit close to the ear are excellent options.
These are great for everyday wear as long as they are endless hoops and screw-back studs.
