What is sensible to look for? Well, when we look for earrings for ourselves, we want comfort, safety and of course, a good fit. And we really want to LOVE earrings! Well, buying earrings for kids is much the same, but with a couple of extras to keep in mind, especially when buying our kids their first pairs of earrings for their newly pierced ears. We have gathered 6 points to guide you.

1. First of all, the earrings must be made of a non-toxic metal. Sterling silver, stainless steel or gold. Alloys with which we must be careful, since we do not know the components and they could contain elements as toxic as cadmium, lead or nickel. These items can cause serious health problems for children, especially younger ones.

2. They should be small so as not to overwhelm a tiny lobe. Large earrings in small lobes, not a good look! Also, the bigger they are, the heavier they are, and if this is your first time wearing earrings, the smaller the better.

3. They must be light and comfortable. Especially for those who wear earrings for the first time, who could play the violin if they can feel them. If they can’t feel them, they’ll forget they’re using them, so they won’t play with them and lose them. Avoid small drop earrings for beginners, because the movement will only serve to remind them of the earrings they are wearing. Playing with them usually results in the back falling off and the loss of an earring. And you don’t want to be shopping for new kids earrings every week!

4. They must have a short shaft, therefore made for children, not adults. However, adults can usually wear children’s earrings! Surprisingly, the thickness of the ears does not change much as we grow older. But if the rod is short, it won’t push against your head behind your ear, which is very important!

5. Must have securely fastened backings or safety screws. The earrings we choose with love are too good to lose!

6. And they must have an element that is attractive to children! Now this could be the color, as in colored stones or enamel, or the shape, as in features like hearts, ladybugs, butterflies, etc. Sparkle and shine is another very attractive feature for children. A sparkling lead-free crystal or cz stone, especially in pink or another child-friendly color, or highly polished silver or gold, both present to children, especially younger ones, that they really love them.
