Choosing A Baby Diamond Earring

February 4th, 2010

Diamonds are a great investment since their prices usually go up and up. Many parents who can afford to give their baby a diamond earring usually invest in this kind of jewelry for future and present use. A baby diamond earring has certain requirements for the baby to actually wear it.

Size And Design

Choosing a baby diamond earring needs to be done carefully to avoid the loss of the jewelry and the injury of the baby. Ideally, a baby diamond earring should be a stud earring made of gold about 14 karats and above. Stud earring are those which are designed to stay put and are supposed to be difficult to catch on the hair, clothes and other baby things. Basically, the size of stud earrings for babies is supposed to no more than a few centimeters in diameter. This will help prevent entanglement compared to dangly earrings.

Some baby diamond earrings are designed to be set deep into the setting with no protrusions. This kind of design is ideal and quite modern but other designs may also suffice as long as it is a stud design.

The reason for using gold with a higher content is to avoid allergic reactions to other alloys mixed in gold with lower quantities of pure gold. A fake diamond earring can suffice but it should still be made of at least 14 karats gold to prevent allergic reactions in the baby. Some jewelry makers make their gold settings from white gold, which is less of an allergenic than lower forms or karats or yellow gold. A baby diamond earring should use gold which is no less than 14 karats since babies have sensitive skin. 

Other than making sure that the quality of the gold baby diamond earrings is high, the piercing should also be done in a hygienic way to avoid infection of the wound. A pediatrician is better at this than mall piercing since the cleanliness of the equipment use for ear piercings in a mal may be less than that of a doctor's clinic.

When To Put

Many people have different opinions about when is the ideal time to put a baby diamond earring on the baby. Some pediatricians recommend putting the earrings right after birth to lessen the trauma of the ear piercing when the baby has grown a few years. Some parents, on the other hand, wish to wait for their daughters to be of the right age before putting on earrings. Some wait for their daughter to be ten or eleven before doing anything about the ear piercing.

Professional jewelry appraisals completed by gemologists and valuers often have to take into account the effect the jewelry hallmarks have on the value of each item being appraised. Do they alter the price, up or down, depending on the hallmark. The simple answer is yes – and no. It depends on the hallmarks themselves and where they come from.

I get similar questions on forums and ‘expert’ websites, together with my own members discussion group. They are usually in the following format, and in general the same questions get asked over and over again. They go… Continue reading Jewelry Hallmarks And What They Mean...

Most people when they imagine a pearl are picturing perfect large round spherical gems, creamy white in colour with a shimmery iridescent surface. The reality is that pearls are usually irregular in shape, each one is different and to find one that is completely round is almost unheard of, not to mention trying to make a whole necklace of pearls that are all more or less the same. Natural pearls are the rarest and most highly valued variety, but nowadays most pearl jewellery is made from cultured or farmed pearls, which are grown on pearl farms… Continue reading What are the Main Differences Between Freshwater and Saltwater Pearls?...

Name jewelry is one of the trendiest types of fashion accessory for both men and women. A large part of this modern upswing in popularity is due to the hip hop culture where large name jewelry items have become the defining fashion in bling. While much of the current fashion is large, bling-style pieces, name jewelry can range from delicate and subtle to big and bold. But name jewelry is also very popular as traditional mothers jewelry. Name rings and name necklaces are by far the most popular items with online stores and retailers… Continue reading Name Jewelry Trends...
