How to buy jewelry for kids:

When it comes to select the jewelry for your kid, you should be all the more cautious and careful. From the make to the metal-every aspect should ensure the safety of the child. Remember, the skin of your child is extra ordinarily soft and sensitive.

Be sure of the lead content of the kid's jewelry. Just avoid jewelries with plastic cords, fake pearls or dull metal components because they are often most likely to contain lead more than the permissive level. So parents should be particularly careful of the lead content of ornaments before buying jewelry for their kids.

More Tips for buying kids jewelry:


* Just like you do not trust your kid to left with certain toys same as the case with jewelries; the children under three should always be supervised while wearing jewelry. No matter how well made the ornaments is; toddlers and pre-schoolers should never be left to themselves with ornaments.


* The design as well as making of an ornament is very important. Since ornaments for kids have to withstand a lot of abrasion, all the trinkets for your kid should be solidly made. Designs like closed jump rings or split rings are very much kid-friendly and stand the taste of time. Strength of sterling chains can be taken as an index.


* Size of the ornament deserves some attention while buying for kids. They must rightly complement the size of your kid itself. Take notice whether the trinkets have a proper fitting. Since children are not aware of the worth of the ornament they wear they might not pay special attention to a loosely fit ring or bangle and the thing can easily get lost or stolen.





* Check whether the bids or pearls are bound strongly enough, so that your little one doesn't get a chance to put a lose part into her mouth.

* You can read the reviews that appear in the popular online jewelry stores. Take into account both the seller's and buyer's views on the product. A number of customers buying from a particular shop or a particular design gives you a rather a dependable index.

Some specific buying tips for gold, diamond, pearl and birthstones:


1. Ask for the guarantee card while buying gold jewelry. This card specifies the karatage of gold. KT or K and not CT (as often used by jewelers) is the correct index for gold. Shops in the event of a discovery of fraud may not accept a guarantee card that has CT on it.

2. KT weight refers to the quantity of gold in an ornament. The higher the karatage the higher is the percentage of gold.24 KT is the purest form of gold. 18K gold contains 18 parts gold and 6 parts of one or more additional metals, making it 75% gold.

3. diamond is judged by 4Cs,namely cut, carat, clarity and colour. All these bring out the difference in the beauty of the diamond. Cut determines how well a piece of diamond reflects light. Therefore the shine of diamond largely depends on the cut. Carat measures the weight of a piece of diamond. While clarity refers to the level of the presence of identifying characteristics within a diamond. The clearer the diamond, greater is its sparkle and higher is its cost. You can also find some rare types of diamonds that come with multicolored hue and naturally they command a higher price.

4. If you are going to buy pearl jewelry, keep the following things in mind: judge the quality of pearls by five criteria: size, luster, shape, color and surface. The size of cultured pearls depends on the implanted nucleus and the layer of nacre around it. In case of a thin layer of nacre, the pearl would crack easily. So quality and price of the pearl directly relates to its size. Luster is another indicator of the quality of a pearl. Luster refers to the sharpness of the reflection on the surface of the pearl when you face it with your back to the light. For your kid, you can buy colored pearls in pink, silver, cream, gold, and black with overtones of rose, green, and blue. Before buying colored pearls make sure that the color of the pearl is emitted from deep within the stone.

5. If you are novice in the art of buying natural gemstones you have every chance of making costly mistakes. So it is better to completely trust a renowned jeweler, while you are going to buy birthstone for your child. Always head for a reputed store. The natural gemstones in their purest forms are rare as well as expensive. So you can also consider the alternative semi precious gems as birthstone for your child.
