Children's jewelry is a gift for christenings, first communions and birthdays. Safety is the priority: hypoallergenic materials, secure clasps and designs with no small parts that can be swallowed.

## Materials

18K gold, 925 silver or titanium. Avoid nickel ([nickel allergy](https://www.711grados.com/en/hypoallergenic-jewelry-and-nickel-allergy/)) and plating that wears off.

## What to choose

- **Earrings** with screw or safety backs.
- **Bracelets** adjustable, without small charms.
- **Pendants** for christenings and medals.
- **Chains** with secure clasp and short length.

## Safety

Do not let them sleep with the jewel on or wear it unsupervised. Check clasps and stones often, and avoid pieces with pearls or small beads on babies.

## Giving

Small engraved pieces (name and date) are a keepsake for life. See [gift guide](https://www.711grados.com/en/jewelry-gift-ideas/).
