Many people, when shopping for a baby or children’s jewelry item, have very little idea of ​​the size of their little one’s wrist, ankle, or neck.

Because children vary greatly in size, particularly wrist and ankle size, use this guide that provides average sizes with some give and take, when shopping for a baby bracelet, a children’s bracelet, a bracelet or necklace for children. teenager or an anklet.

Let’s start with baby bracelets. If possible, buy a baby bracelet that has an extension for growth because babies grow very fast in that first year and you will want your gift to be worn for as long as possible.

Newborn wristband: A newborn wristband must be a minimum of 4.7 “(12 cm) plus extension.

Toddler bracelet: about 5.1 “(13 cm)

Preschool bracelet: about 5.5 “(14 cm)

Bracelet for children 5-10 years: 15 cm (5.9 “)

Tweenager Cuff: 6.3 “(16 cm)

Teen Bracelet: 17cm – 18cm (6.7 “- 7.5”)

Children’s necklaces can also be purchased in different lengths with extensions, but here is a general guide:

Baby Collar: 12 “(30.5 cm)

Toddler Necklace: 13 “(33cm)

Children’s anklets sometimes have extensions for growth, but being looser, having that extension is less important. Anklets that lightly cover the top of the foot or carefully attached around the ankle look great.

If the child is large for his age, leave him an inch longer. Also, when buying baby or child bracelets that are thick, such as European-style beads or pearls, leave another half inch long.

Buying baby and child earrings is simpler because they don’t vary much in size, except that they are generally smaller than adult earrings and the rods are slightly shorter than adult styles. The thickness of the earlobe does not change much during childhood. Just check that there are no sharp edges on the earrings. Look for baby and children’s earrings that are of a size that does not overwhelm the earlobe. Earrings purchased for school-age children should be small and discreet, and preferably not hoops.
