Children’s Jewelry
Wednesday, August 18th, 2010I think children’s jewelry is so precious. My little grandniece is not yet one, and her mother (my sister’s daughter) had her ears pierced when she was only 3 months old. Now some people may find that cruel, but Alicia never cried, and she looks so adorable in her little sapphire earrings. (Given to her by her old Uncle Robert, of course. Only the best for my family!)
I think kids should have real jewelry. What I mean is, forget the plastic throw-away, non biodegradable junk that passes for little girl’s jewelry these days. Give your child something that she will be proud to wear, not just as a child, but when she is older as well. Of course a child’s pearl bracelet won’t fit an adult, but she can have it restrung at some point, with pearls added. And it will always have meaning for her.
You may say "What does Robert know, he’s not a dad!" And they would be right in that. But one thing I can say is that children are capable of taking care of quality things, and they will have more meaning for them than junk jewelry. So purchase children’s jewelry that is beautiful and long-lasting.
