It makes no sense to buy expensive chains and other jewelry for children, unless religion or nationality requires it. Many psychologists do not recommend buying chains before five years. And jewelry on the neck is a certain risk.

Main characteristics

As such, children's chains do not exist, so if you decide to buy this jewelry for your child, adhere to the basic characteristics for young fashionistas, choosing from a total number of models.

Metal

It doesn’t matter whether you buy jewelry for a girl or for a boy; the main “child” metal is silver. But if the means and age of the young woman of fashion allows, then look at gold, especially since it is very diverse.

To choose a product of proper quality, you need to take into account the sample on each jewelry.

  • For gold, these are 375, 500, 585, 750, 958, 999.
  • For silver - 800, 830, 875, 925, 960, 999.

So that you can easily pick up jewelry as a set for the chain as the child grows older, combined models of several metals are available for sale.

Weaving

It is divided into 6 main types, the most durable of which will be Bismarck. The weave is a soldered and polished wire twisted into a spiral.

The remaining 5 - anchor, perlins, armored, combined, fantasy are divided into several subspecies, but are not suitable as a children's decoration.

Length

For a child, the length of the product plays a big role. First of all, it's security. Now in stores there are chains with a length of 30 cm and above. But in order to choose the right accessory for a child, measure his neck and multiply by two - this will be the optimal length.

For adults and older children, the formula is the same only five centimeters are added, given that there will be a pendant or a cross.

Castle

Locks are usually divided into 5 types:

  • Round - is considered the most reliable and popular.
  • Carabiner - used for large and heavy jewelry.
  • Box - in the jewelry world, this type of lock is considered one of the most unreliable.
  • A magnet is a second, untrustworthy, type of fastener. Like the previous version, it is ideal for jewelry, but not for jewelry.
  • Togle is the third type of locks ideal for beads and jewelry. On chains of expensive metals is not used.

Wholeness

Hollow - light, but visually very massive jewelry. Of the advantages, you can select only a small price relative to the appearance, but there will be much more disadvantages. The main thing is fragility and expensive repairs. Such products are more susceptible to rupture, deformation and damage.

One-piece - are distinguished by a large weight due to the full filling with metal. The only drawback of such chains is the sometimes very high weight, and therefore the cost. But this is offset by a long service life and quick recovery after most damage.

Gold or silver?

When choosing a metal for a chain, you need to focus primarily on religious beliefs and material condition. Of course, the best option would be gold. It is hypoallergenic, non-oxidizing and has several color options.

But jewelry is not suitable for children. It is very crudely performed and can cause allergic reactions.

The most common metal for children's products today is silver.

Silver chains are best not to buy with rhodium or oxidized coatings that cause allergic reactions.

A chain of silver will become a very relevant and appropriate gift for christening, even for the smallest.

As for pricing, silver jewelry is considered a budget option. The price will depend on the length and weight of the product, as well as the design. For example, hand-woven and gold-plated chains will cost more.

How to choose?

The choice of the first things is one of the most important in life. This also applies to jewelry. We offer you some simple tips on how to choose the right chain for the child.

Weaving

The ideal weaving for children will be shell-shaped, “Nona” and “Love” belong to it. These models will not cling to hair and clothes, which means they will not harm the child. In addition, simple models are the best addition to a cross or pendant.

Length

A long, or vice versa, too short chain is not the best choice, they can be harmful to health and lead to an accident. The ideal length of baby jewelry should be twice as long as the base of the neck.

Wholeness

For children, it is better to choose a solid, rather than a hollow, model. That one-piece option is considered the most durable and easier to repair.

Clasp

There is one, but very important requirement for the castle - the ring of the castle should not be solid, but have a cut. In this case, with an accidental jerk, it should be bent. This will avoid negative consequences and injuries.

Score

Buy jewelry only in trusted stores and salons that have all quality marks and product certificates. So you protect yourself from low-quality goods and waste of money.

To summarize the above, then choose a baby jewelry with simple plain weaving. If you select a pendant or a cross in the kit, give preference to those products that combine with each other according to the type of metal and style.
