Baby
Jewelry: Infant Fashion as Keepsake |

jewelry for mommy and baby is always a cute
touch, and it can be a keepsake for when
the baby is all grown up. The sentimental
value that comes with baby jewelry cannot
be measured. Sometimes certain items of
jewelry come with memories; like this bracelet
one was bought right after little Sarah
took her first steps, or this pendant was
bought soon before Davey started to say
his first words.
When we say "baby jewelry," we usually mean
bracelets: the safest item of adornment
for infants. Many baby bracelets come with
letter-blocks that spell out the baby's
name. These may well be a baby's first opportunity
to learn how to read! Some baby bracelets
also double as toys, and some charms come
with rattles and colorful beads that could
easily endear them to the infant.
We may admit that baby jewelry is cute and
fun to use, but some mothers are concerned:
won't jewelry be too dangerous to hold so
close to the baby? Teething babies will
tend to want to bite into their bracelets,
or put them in their mouths -- and won't
the baby swallow the charms, the item itself,
or bits of it that may come off? Also, won't
silver, gold, and certain plastics be bad
for the baby's skin?
Baby jewelry is necessarily hypoallergenic,
to keep from irritating a baby's supremely
delicate skin. The charms that come with
baby jewelry are usually tightly woven in,
so there is no danger of falling off or
apart even if the baby is teething. Infant
jewelry also has safe clasps. Pin latches
or sharp clasps are definitely a no-no.
Toddlers, who are more capable of appreciating
body accessories, may in fact enjoy sporting
jewelry, especially ones they can play with
and show off to other toddlers. Mom and
Dad can have their toddler pick out his
or her own bracelet. After all, babies and
toddlers appreciate bright, sparkling and
fun stuff that are visually stimulating
and attractive. Baby jewelry is something
they can enjoy, and it will be a reminder
of that time that passes all too quickly.
