Baby Jewelry: Safety Before Beauty

Baby jewelry is a tradition going back thousands of years – christening necklaces, bracelets, tiny stud earrings. But what jewelry is truly safe for little ones, and what should be avoided?

The Most Important Question: When Can They Wear It?

  • Necklaces and bracelets: Recommended only from school age – risk of strangulation for babies and toddlers
  • Stud earrings: Controversially discussed – medical professional societies recommend no earlier than 2–3 years, many cultures pierce newborns
  • Anklets: Only under constant supervision – can wrap around or strangle toes

If Jewelry for Babies: These Materials Are Safe

  • 750 Gold (18K): Highest skin compatibility – no nickel in good alloys
  • Titanium (implant grade): Absolutely hypoallergenic for piercings and stud earrings
  • No nickel, no lead: These metals are strictly forbidden for babies

Size and Shape

  • No small parts that could come loose – choking hazard
  • Smooth surfaces without sharp edges
  • No jewelry with stones that could fall out of their settings

Beautiful Baby Jewelry Ideas (as a Gift, Not for Wearing)

As a commemorative gift for christenings or births – to be kept until the child is old enough:

  • Small gold bracelet engraved with birth date
  • Christening necklace with cross pendant in 585 gold
  • Gold ring for the treasure chest – to be worn when it fits
