It does not make sense to buy expensive chains for children and other jewelry, unless it is required by religion or nationality. Many psychologists do not advise buying chains before five years. And jewelry on the neck is a certain risk.

Main characteristics

As such, children's chains do not happen, so if you decide to buy a child this jewelry, stick to the basic characteristics for young fashionistas, choosing from the general range of models.

Metal

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

To select a product of good quality, you should take into account the sample standing on each ornament.

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

So that you can easily pick up the jewelry in the kit to the chain as the child grows, combined models of several metals are on sale.

Weaving

It is divided into 6 main types, the strongest of which will be "Bismarck". Weaving is a welded and polished wire twisted into a spiral.

The remaining 5 - anchor, pearls, armor-clad, combined, fantasy are divided into several subspecies, but are not suitable as a child's decoration.

Length

For a child, the length of the product plays a big role First of all - it is safety. Now in stores for sale 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 adds five centimeters, given the fact that there will be a suspension 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.
  • Magnet - the second, not inspiring confidence, type of fastener. Like the previous version is ideal for jewelry, but not for jewelry.
  • Togl - 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 the disadvantages will be much more. The main thing is the fragility and expensive repairs. Such products are more prone to rupture, deformation and damage.

Integral - differ in big weight thanks to full filling with metal. The only drawback of such chains is sometimes a very large weight, and, accordingly, cost. But this is offset by a long service life and fast recovery after most damage.

Gold or silver?

When choosing a metal for the chain, you must first focus on religious views and material condition. Of course, the best option would be gold. It is hypoallergenic, does not oxidize, and has several color options.

But jewelry for children does not fit. It is very rough 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 coating, causing allergic reactions.

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

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, chains with hand weaving and gilding 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 your child.

Weaving

The ideal weaving for children will be armor-clad, it includes "Nona" and "Love." These models will not cling to the hair and clothing, and therefore do not harm the child. In addition, simple models are the best addition to the cross or pendant.

Length

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

Wholeness

For children, it is better to choose a solid, not hollow model. It is the one-piece version that is considered the most durable and easier to repair.

Clasp

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

Score

Buy jewelry only in proven stores and salons, which have all the quality marks and certificates for products. So you protect yourself from poor-quality goods and waste of money.

If you summarize the above, then choose a baby decoration with a simple uncomplicated weaving. If you choose a pendant or a cross in the kit, give preference to those products that are combined with each other by type of metal and style.
