Children's earrings are best chosen by comparing a suitable size, a favourite motif and the fastening. Choose earrings for everyday wear, special occasions or as a gift, and check the dimensions, material and any plating in the product details.
Looking for another jewellery gift in addition to earrings? Explore children's jewellery and children's necklaces. Designs for all age groups and materials can be found in the main earrings collection.
Children's earrings to suit their own taste
The motif can relate to a child's favourite colour, animal or another theme that matters to them. When choosing a gift, it is also useful to find out what kind of earrings the recipient already wears. The dimensions and feel of the jewellery are just as important as its appearance.
Studs, hoops and fastenings
Stud earrings sit close to the earlobe. For hoops, check the diameter and closure mechanism; for drop styles, check the overall length and weight. The post and backing affect fit, so review the full product information before choosing.
Silver and gold earrings for children
When looking for silver or gold earrings, check not only the main material but also the post, backing and any plating. Gold-plated silver and a gold alloy are different materials. Suitability for a child cannot be determined from the metal or small size alone.
For a wider material comparison, explore silver earrings and gold earrings. These collections include designs for different users, so check suitability for a child separately.
Earrings as a gift and how to store them
A pair of earrings chosen as a birthday gift can become a reminder of an important day. Store the pair and backings together in their own box. Jewellery is not a toy; follow the manufacturer's instructions and assess the child's use of jewellery together with an adult.
Other jewellery gifts can be found in the Children's Jewellery collection. For jewellery worn around the neck, explore children's necklaces. You can compare all earring styles on the Earrings page.
Frequently asked questions about children's earrings
What kind of earrings are suitable for a child?
Compare the earrings' size, weight and fastening with the child's needs. Check the manufacturer's product information and instructions. Small size or a certain material alone does not determine suitability.
How do I choose the material for children's earrings?
Check the materials of the jewellery, post and backing, as well as any plating, in the product information. Take individual sensitivities into account. A gold or silver designation alone does not guarantee suitability for everyone.
Where can I see the actual size of the earrings?
Check the width, height or diameter stated in millimetres on the product page. Compare the measurements with earrings already in use, as product images may show the jewellery larger than its actual size.
