Gold chains for children are jewelry that will come in handy, by the way, as a gift for a birthday, Christmas, christening, or for any other reason. A child can wear an elegant, beautiful chain as a complement to the holiday along with or along with a small pendant, pendant, cross.
Features
Decoration for a child differs from adult accessories, first of all, in strength, usability and safety for health. That is why noble, hypoallergenic materials - silver and gold - are chosen for children's accessories. They do not cause allergies, they look beautiful, are practical in care, and are durable.
The gold chain for children must be strong, have a length convenient for the child and a fairly simple weaving. Indeed, most often it is bought as an addition to a small cross or a nominal pendant. This applies primarily to young children.
More original weaving options are suitable for decorating chains for an older girl. Hollow chains are very lightweight, and therefore affordable. They will not cause discomfort in a sock even to the smallest children, but they do not differ in high durability. The links are quite fragile, and it will be very difficult to restore such an ornament. This point is definitely worth considering when buying.
Children's decoration usually differs from an adult in a more affordable cost. A child can break or lose a chain, so it makes no sense to give a baby a very expensive thing.
The children's accessory should not be too long so that the child in it does not accidentally become entangled or catch on during the game.
Types and Models
Children's chains differ from each other, first of all, by the type of weaving.
Most often, this is a classic:
- anchor weaving with perpendicular arrangement of links in the chain;
- armored weaving (links made of one or more rings are inserted into each other);
- rhombo (links made in the form of a rhombus are inserted into each other);
- rope (rope weaving of threads);
- spikelet, braid.
Simple weave chains tend to be highly durable and durable. They do not cling to the clothes and hair of the child, do not get confused and do not twist. They are convenient to clean if necessary.
For girls of adolescence and older, you can choose a jewelry with a more intricate and complex look of weaving. For example, the links of the chain with weaving "Rose" look very much like this beautiful flower. And Love weaving consists of links in the form of elegant hearts.
Chains with Byzantine, ribbon, Florentine and other weaving options look very beautiful and feminine.
The weaving of “Perlin” also looks interesting and unusual - tiny golden pearl balls. This option is very suitable for children's jewelry.
Children's chains can be worn on their own or supplemented with pendants. As a pendant for children, flowers, butterflies, hearts, letters, images of animals, toys and other motifs are often used. Chains for teenage girls and young girls can be complemented with precious and semi-precious stones.
Selection tips
When choosing a gold chain for your child, you must definitely pay attention to the following points:
- Weaving. The smaller the child, the simpler and more durable the weaving should be. The ideal option for weaving is anchor, shell, Nonna.
- Weight and length. The chain for the child should not be too heavy and long. The optimal length option is equal to twice the circumference of the children's neck in centimeters.
- Type of fastener. The fastener should be not only reliable, but also safe for the health of the child. The carabiner or other version of the clasp should have a cut, so that in case of a sharp jerk, the mount simply unbends and frees the child’s neck.
- Quality. Jewelry is best purchased at large, trusted jewelry stores. Self-respecting manufacturing companies provide their products with a complete package of necessary documentation confirming its high quality. The chain must have a sample confirming the purity of the metal.
- The presence of decorative ornaments. Accessories for children should have a simple and concise design. Extra details, complicated locks and types of weaving, heavy weight will cause a small child only discomfort and unnecessary inconvenience when moving or playing.
What to wear?
If the chain is used as an addition to the pectoral cross, then this decoration is worn almost constantly. The accessory in this case should be as simple as possible, lightweight and durable.
An ornament with complex weaving or with an addition of precious stones is worn as a decor for evening clothes. It can be a beautiful dress or an elegant set from a top with a skirt.
If other decorations are used in the image, then all of them should be combined according to the material, colors and design.
