Children's gold earrings
Earrings have long been an integral part of the female image. Now it is very difficult to meet a girl who does not wear this type of jewelry. It is quite natural that girls, looking at their mothers, also dream of beautiful, elegant and so shiny gold earrings. Ear piercing is a very important ritual for every young lady, which symbolizes one of the stages of her growing up and joining the world of beauty and fashion.
How and when is the best time to pierce your ears?
There are several very different opinions about the age at which it is possible and necessary to pierce the ears of girls:
- The generally accepted, popular opinion among modern mothers: it is worth piercing as early as possible, until the child realizes, or quickly forgets the pain. This point of view is very popular today, but you need to take into account the fact that the mother will have to treat wounds several times a day and cause discomfort and sometimes pain to the baby. Young children do not know how to control their feelings and emotions, so you need to be prepared for tears. In addition, this approach does not at all protect against constant attempts to touch the ears, since children under three years of age are actively exploring themselves and their bodies.
- From the point of view of pedagogy, it is worth piercing the ears when the child asks himself. In this case, the choice of the child will be conscious, it will help parents to bring up responsibility for their desires and decisions.The wisest parents can also instill in the girl patience and understanding that material goods are difficult to come by if the parents ask to wait a while. In such a situation, the earrings will be even more valuable for the baby. A child who consciously asks for earrings is more resistant to puncture and wound treatment procedures. In addition, the choice of earrings and piercing will be a celebration and a reason for the pride of a little fashionista.
- Medicine approaches the issue of ear piercing most responsibly. The point of view of surgeons is as follows: up to three years, you should not pierce your ears, and after three, you can make a puncture at any convenient time. This is explained by the fact that up to three years, while the child is actively growing, his nervous system is also actively formed. The earlobe is a place of a huge accumulation of nerve cords, which cosmetologists call "points". There is a huge chance that important nerve cords will be affected and damaged during the piercing process, so you should refrain from early ear piercing.
Where to pierce?
Season
It is hard to imagine that the speed of wound healing depends on the weather outside our window, but it is true. If you are going to pierce the ears of a child, you need to be very careful in choosing the time of year for this procedure.
Parents who are going to pierce their child's ears, of course, are very careful in choosing a place for this procedure. Most often, the choice is which beautician and in which salon will make a puncture. The main requirements of parents in this matter, as a rule, are cleanliness in the salon, high-quality disposable materials, the experience of a beautician and reviews about him. This is a very correct approach.
However, it should be noted that an ear piercing is still a surgical operation, which is best left to a professional. Today, there are a huge number of children's medical institutions where a surgeon will make a piercing of the ears.
It is strictly forbidden to pierce the ears in the second half or at the end of winter. During this period, the body of any person, and especially children's, is exhausted by long cold weather and a limited amount of natural vitamins that enter the body from food. In addition, immunity is weakened by winter infections and diseases.
With caution, you need to approach the piercing of the ears in the hottest months of summer, since there is a possibility of dehydration.
The most suitable time for ear piercing can be considered the end of summer and early autumn. During this period, the child's body got stronger, saturated with vitamins and minerals. The first autumn rains nail dust to the ground, which greatly reduces the likelihood of it getting into wounds. At this time, it is not yet time to wear a hat, which can squeeze or rub injured earlobes.
Do not pierce the ears during an allergy or illness. Moreover, it is worth waiting a few weeks after the end of the disease, because during this period the body's immunity is significantly reduced. The healing of punctures will take a longer time, in addition, there is a risk of complications.
Puncture and care
Both cosmetologists and surgeons use a special gun to pierce the ears. With its help, ear piercing becomes a painless and safe procedure. Stud earrings made of a special hypoallergenic alloy are used as a needle. After a puncture, these earrings can be worn permanently, but you need to remember about the mandatory treatment of wounds.Several times a day, it is imperative to wash the wounds with an antiseptic and wipe the earrings and earlobe with it. It is worth replacing medical earrings with more expensive ones - gold ones only after the punctures have completely healed, since precious metals are allergens and can cause a violent allergic reaction in unhealed skin areas.
Models for different ages
Choosing the right earrings for a child is a very responsible task, because what is good for a teenage girl is completely unsuitable for a one-year-old child. Many mothers of girls choose gold earrings as a gift for 1 year old. In this case, it is worth focusing solely on the convenience of the child. Earrings should be very light, small and have a practical clasp. Volumetric jewelry with stones will cause discomfort for the girl, will cling to clothes and can cause injury to the child.
By the age of 3-5, girls turn into fashionistas: there is an interest in outfits, shoes, cosmetics and jewelry. At this age, you can change the first earrings for a more “adult” version with a flower, bug or other small pattern. At this age, you should also not choose voluminous jewelry, because right now the child will go to kindergarten - sloppy games or clumsy dressing can lead to injury.
By the age of 7, girls go to school, at which time a period of active knowledge of the world and themselves begins. Girls have a desire to be better than their classmates. During this period, larger gold items with favorite cartoon characters, emoticons and other children's paraphernalia will become relevant. This period lasts on average up to 10 years.At this age, girls tend to look more mature, so more adult and pretentious ones are replacing children's jewelry. By the end of school, a young fashionista will certainly want to have branded earrings or their copies.
Material selection
When choosing earrings for a child, it is not enough to focus on their appearance and pricing policy. A very important role is played by the material from which the jewelry is made. For the first months after the piercing, and for the first earrings in general, products made of medical metal are perfect. This alloy is hypoallergenic and quite inexpensive. It is not scary if the child loses such an earring.
Silver earrings can be called a more valuable and high-quality product. This jewelry has a more noble and sophisticated appearance, but it is worth remembering that silver often causes allergic reactions.
In the world of gold jewelry, there are a huge number of models for girls of different ages. Pricing policy depends on the weight and quality of gold. In addition to the classic models with and without stones, you can also choose models with a colored enamel pattern.
It is also possible to purchase cheaper jewelry, but these earrings are not recommended for everyday use.
Choosing a lock
Jewelry masters are creative people, like artists or sculptors, they create beauty from raw material. A creative approach to the creation of earrings necessitates a wide variety of shapes and types of fasteners and clasps.
- English castle. The most reliable and popular lock can safely be called English. It snaps tightly and securely holds gold earrings in the ears.To produce such a lock, you need quite a lot of metal, so jewelry with it is always somewhat heavier than jewelry with other types of locks.
- carnations. Today, stud earrings are very popular. There are two types of fasteners for such jewelry: the first ones are simply put on the needle of a carnation and are held due to the tightness of the fit, while the second ones must be twisted on the spiral thread applied to the carnation. When choosing such earrings for a child, you need to be prepared for the loss of clasps, and with them, the golden earring itself.
- Loop earrings and French Zamok. There are earrings without clasps at all. Such jewelry has a rather long loop that balances the product in the ear. These earrings are suitable only for special occasions, because they are very easy to lose in everyday life. However, this type of jewelry has a very close "relative" that makes them very practical. French lock earrings are very similar to loop earrings, however, they have small fasteners that are attached to the loop and prevent the earring from falling out. Such gold earrings are perfect for girls of any age, because their production does not require a lot of metal, the loops are quite thin, and therefore very light.
- Italian clip. Another practical type of lock is the Italian clip lock. Many women have seen and know by what principle the clip is arranged. The Italian clip lock differs from the clip we are used to by the presence of a carnation that is threaded into a hole. Behind the ear, the clip is fixed on the notch at the end of this stud. This is a very reliable type of clasp, very close in quality and structure to the English clasp. In addition, these earrings are very easy to put on.
- Earrings rings. The device of the lock in the earrings rings is very simple. It is based on a snug fit of the metal to the earpiece (a pin that is threaded into the ear). The fastener enters the empty cavity of the ring earring and is tightly fixed there until the ring is unclenched. Such gold earrings are almost impossible to lose, moreover, the child will not be able to take off such earrings on his own, and it will be very easy for the mother to put them on.
There are other types of fasteners, but they are all less secure and not recommended for children.
With or without stone?
All mothers want their little princesses to sparkle in any situation. Earrings with precious stones will be excellent helpers in achieving this goal. A girl's best friend is, of course, diamonds. Jewelry with these stones sparkle and sparkle, their brilliance gives joy to everyone around. Little fashionistas will undoubtedly like this glitter, but not every young family can afford diamonds. An excellent substitute for diamonds is cubic zirconia. This is an artificial stone that is used by jewelers around the world. Outwardly, it looks like a diamond, it shines a little less, but the cost of products with this stone is much lower.
You can also pick up products with rubies, emeralds, jasper or topaz, but do not forget that gold earrings for a child should be small and light. It is worth choosing earrings with a small number of small-sized stones or no stones at all.
Form matters
Flowers
This is perhaps the most popular form of earrings for the smallest girls.

butterflies

owls
The fashion for owls came to us from the books and films about Harry Potter. Today there are a huge number of models of earrings with this bird.

rings

Large rings are only decoration for going to a disco, but their use must be approached with caution. In combination with a short skirt, they can give the image a vulgarity.
Other popular shapes
Jewelry stores offer a lot of options for earrings.If the choice becomes unbearable, it is worth turning to fashion trends - they will help narrow the search. So, now gold earrings in the form of apples are very popular among girls. Earrings, rings and charms in the form of crowns can be safely called another undeniable trend.
