Parents often buy silver or crystal jewelry for their children. I think that this is not good. Jewelry is quite dangerous for children. Skin of them is very sensitive. Silver or other metal jewelry can make them itchy or injury. Children can bit and swallowing crystal pieces etc... So, I think that we shouldn't wear jewelry for children.

I don't let my daughter wear any jewelry coz one time my sister gave her a silver necklace with a heart pendant, and my daughter kept on chewing the pendant and I removed it from her coz it is very dangerous that it can choke her.

I agree it's not a good idea to give jewelry to children. They can swallow it or lose it easily. For bigger kids I think it's okay f it doesn't irritate their skin, but I would keep the gold or silver jewelry for later. They don't know the value of it and usually can't take care of it.

Many people believe that silver jewelry can protect their kid from diseases ! So, they give silver jewelry for them when they was very small. I don't think this is good.

I agree, it would probably be dangerous for young young kids. I think "play" jewelery is fine for pre-teens (or even a little bit younger, like 8-9 year olds who know better than to try to 'eat it' or whatever, you know), but it's not really necessary for a kid to have REAL jewelry. It makes no sense! Kids don't care about this kind of stuff! Unless they are playing dress up. I would save my money and buy them a toy or something instead.

toy, clothes etc ... is good for children. But jewelry is not. In my local, silver jewelry for children is very popular. They rarely buy gold jewelry for children because they scare lost.

I think jewelry is not good for small kids also, they may get allergy or swallow it in some cases. However, many parents still think it will be ok and still wear necklace or bracelet for their kids. My cousin does the same even though i warned her, but she said i worry too far, hix.

You can advice her that she should care the kid carefully. We don't know what will be occurred. Right?
