Earrings

Earrings are definitely a jewelry accessory that can alter a child’s appearance. Girls earrings come in a multitude of options. You can opt for small hoops, medium hoops, dangling earrings, or studs. 

Studs are not just a stone either, there are plenty of stud designs for kids such as rainbows, cupcakes, cactus, suns, hearts, etc. There are plenty of jewelry options when it comes to earrings that your child can accessorize their outfits with. 

Bracelets

This is an easy piece of jewelry for kids to accessorize with and many are easy to take on and off, so your child won’t need your help. If you have a younger child we recommend choosing a stretchy band that they don’t have to clasp. 

There are plenty of style options from beads, to butterflies, animals, mermaids, unicorns, or charms. Some parents also opt for a plain silver or gold bracelet with their child’s name engraved in it. You can also customize bracelets with a birthstone, or you can engrave your child’s initial to make it unique to them. 

Necklaces

Many kids love wearing necklaces because there are endless colors, styles, and lengths to choose from. They are a fun accessory for children whether they are playing make believe or they like accessorizing when they are going out. 

There are also plain gold or silver chains available for kids that you can personalize with a charm or multiple charms that your child picks out. Another option when styling jewelry pieces is to put a ring into the necklace as a charm. 

Rings

Younger kids can use large costume rings that are cheap and you won’t care if they accidentally loose them. There are also nice costume rings for older kids or teenagers if you don’t want to risk spending a ton of money on real gold and they lose their rings. 

Rings also come with multiple options from fun-shaped bands to plain bands to a ring with a single stone or single charm. As your child becomes a teenager there are also keepsake rings such as their high school class ring you can design together.
