Jewelry is something that every woman must
have. She must never underestimate what
it can do to an outfit. It can easily
turn a boring and plain looking outfit into something that would make heads
turn. Aside from this, it can be
consider an investment when you start purchasing real ones that you see on the necklace display section of a jewelry store.
Although it is important to accessorize, the question in
most mom’s minds is when their little girls should start wearing jewelry. You would see little girls wearing jewelry at
a young age; even infants are already seen wearing necklaces and
bracelets. This could actually be
dangerous to kids.
- Choking hazard
Infants and little kids has the
tendency to put everything that they touch directly into their mouths. This is ok if you are there to supervise
them. However, there may be times that
you may be busy with something else and the next thing you know they already have
something in their mouths. The metallic
parts or beads of the necklaces could break away and be a choking hazard.
- Jewelry can get destroyed when being worn by children
A precious piece of jewelry
that should have been kept on the necklace display case could be destroyed by a child. These little kids just have a knack for
breaking and taking apart things because of their innate curiosity. So before you find yourself crying over a
broken chain, keep those precious things away from the little hands.
- Children can easily misplace jewelry
This is one thing that you would
not want to happen. Kids have a tendency
to forget where they placed things so it is best to retain your precious items
away.
So at what age should kids be allowed to wear jewelry? The important thing to consider is awareness
of the responsibility that you are giving them.
When they are aware then it is time to let them wear simple designs like
chains that are not too heavy. You can
also let them wear fashion jewelry or those that are made of plastic or paper
beads for starters.
