FAQs
Here are some tips for making sure jewellery is safe for babies to wear:
- Supervise your baby when they’re wearing their jewellery.
- Choose appropriately sized jewellery to avoid it getting tangled.
- Look for lightweight and hypoallergenic materials like sterling silver or gold.
- Avoid jewellery with small parts that might become detached and don’t allow your baby to put jewellery in their mouth.
- Remove necklaces and/or bracelets while they’re sleeping and make sure earrings are properly secured.
- Jewellery with sharp edges is not suitable for babies and children.
- Read Hoskings “Baby Jewellery Guide” for more safety guidelines.
In some cultures, parents choose baby jewellery for newborns within days or even hours of their birth. In ancient times, babies wore jewellery to ward off bad luck or as part of a religious ceremony. Nowadays, most parents will wait until their babies are a few months old before they are comfortable with their baby wearing jewellery.
The most important factor to decide when your baby can start wearing jewellery is whether you’ll be able to supervise them. Babies love to put things in their mouth, so you need to be aware that jewellery could potentially be a choking hazard. It’s also easy for babies to get necklaces, anklets and bracelets tangled up, so again, direct supervision is required. Hoskings blog post ‘Kids Ear Piercing: The Dos and Don’ts' can help you make a decision about when to get your baby’s ears pierced.
It’s important to know how to choose the right size baby jewellery. Here are some guidelines:
- Choose the right size baby necklace – Baby necklaces should be worn shorter than adults’ necklaces to avoid them getting tangled or ending up in your baby’s mouth. Here’s a guide for baby necklace sizes:
Age Baby necklace length
4 – 7 years 30 – 35cms
7 – 10 years 35 – 40cms
- Choosing a baby bracelet – Baby bracelets and baby bangles should be able to move freely around your baby’s wrist, but not so loose that it will slide easily further up the arm or over the hand and fall off.
- The right size for a ring - Rings aren’t very popular for babies as they’re potentially a choking hazard. When they’re big enough to choose a children’s ring our ring sizing guidelines will help you pick the right size.
