The art of looking good is instilled in a girl from her childhood. Mom puts her daughter in dresses, knits bows and weaves pigtails. And often, a girl up to a year decides to pierce her ears and put on beautiful earrings.
An adult girl can wear precious metals and jewelry, often change them unless of course she is allergic. It is important for the child to choose high-quality earrings, and wear them constantly so that the ears are accustomed to and not overgrown with punctures. And in this situation, not all models are suitable, because the child’s body is unpredictable and can respond to a foreign metal.
Which earrings are best for a child
Parents choose the age to pierce the ears of the daughter themselves. Doctors have no restrictions about this. There are parents who so much want to see their baby with earrings that pierce her ears in 3-4 months. And there are couples who decide to wait at least a year, or even two. Fortunately, today the procedure is not painful and safe. Punctures are made with an earring loaded in a special gun. Everything happens so quickly that the child does not have time to understand what happened and in most cases does not even cry.
IMPORTANT! The puncture procedure occurs instantly and painlessly, and further processing of the wound can cause discomfort and pain. So think twice before making a final decision.
Little girl does not need big earrings or with pendants and stones. Saving is also not worth it, a good metal will insure against allergies and inflammation.
Choose metal
For a child jewelry is not the best option. Children's earrings are small and light, even gold will cost inexpensively. Dear metal does not oxidize and does not cause inflammation. You can swim in them, and you do not have to constantly disturb the wound that has not yet healed. If gold does not suit you, there are other materials.
IMPORTANT! After piercing, the girl put on special earrings until the wound heals. After that they put on jewelry for constant wear.
The most common materials for children's earrings:
- gold - the metal does not oxidize, most often does not cause allergies. The type of gold does not really matter - yellow, pink or white;
IMPORTANT! For the first earrings, choose yellow or pink gold. There is nickel in the white gold ligature, it can cause allergies. But this is not necessary, each organism reacts differently.
- silver is a good budget metal for children's earrings. But watch the reaction of the child - an allergic reaction may occur. Especially often this happens due to low silver, so choose earrings for children 925 sterling;
- surgical steel - the first earrings for piercing are often made from it. Metal contributes to the speedy healing of the wound, but you can buy surgical steel earrings for constant wear.
The best styles for girls under 1 year old
Each age has its own styles. A girl up to a year old can accidentally catch on clothes, get scratched or lose an earring. For small children produce special models and styles. The best option is that they are cloves, and they are also rings. It is better to do without stones and beads, there are beautiful bright models enameled.
IMPORTANT! For children, choose pusters with a screw fastener. At the end of the pin there is a thread, a fastener is screwed on it. The fasteners are rounded here and hide the end of the pin, so the girl will not get hurt, will not catch and will not lose them. And during sleep, they will not prick and interfere.
Congo is good in that their clasp does not stand out, but smoothly enters the earring. The benefits are the same - does not interfere with sleep, does not hurt. True risk of losing the product is higher.
From a year to three years
Older girls can buy jewelry with an English or French clasp. The styles are more diverse. They can be decorated with stone or pearls. The enamel also remains relevant. Bright insects and animals will appeal to a little fashionista, and it is impossible to lose enamel, unlike stones.
It’s better to wait a while with pendants. They are suitable for girls of primary school age. But a girl of 2-3 years of negligence can catch the pendant on clothes and lose her or injure her earlobe.
IMPORTANT! At this age, also choose small earrings. Large jewelry can cause discomfort to the child and distract his attention. A child, in an attempt to consider an earring, can pull for it and injure an ear.
Selection tips
The main thing in the choice of earrings for children is the quality of the material. Keep in mind that gold is of one sample, but different producing countries may vary in quality. What exactly do not take for children - Chinese or Turkish gold.
Russian gold is alloyed with a certain ligature and this process is controlled at the legislative level. What can not be said about Turkish. The country does not have its own gold, so she buys it in America and Germany. But the composition of the ligature and alloy technology is poorly controlled. Therefore, Russian and Turkish gold can be of one sample, but of different composition.
IMPORTANT! Gold jewelry has the smallest risk of allergies or inflammation. If the ear turns red or swollen, the wound will heal longer, and it is better to replace the earrings.
Design must be appropriate - natural motifs or cartoon characters. Pebbles are best left for an older age.
The weight of children's earrings is 1-2 grams. A heavier product can cause injury or simply get lost.
IMPORTANT! It is better to pierce your ears in the warm season, when you do not need to wear hats and sweaters that you can catch on. So the wound will heal faster and will not cause the baby unnecessary inconvenience.
The end of the pin must be blunt. If it is sharp, then the child will be easily scratched. Sharp pin earrings are often inserted into the gun for piercing, but are prohibited in many countries.
