Jewelry Buying Tips

Are you thinking about buying jewelry as a gift for a child, but also wonder when it’s safe for kids to start wearing jewelry?

While there's no hard rule, here are some general guidelines to follow to help ensure better fashion safety when you’re dazzling the kiddos in jewelry.  

If you are shopping for that perfect accessory, it’s important to be cautious with jewelry that dangles or has small parts that pose a choking hazard for toddlers.

Here is a safe and spectacular special occasion option! Featuring genuine pearls and a sterling silver clasp to make it safe, this Infant Cultured Pearl Bracelet is perfect for a messy birthday cake smashing, christening celebration, or as an unforgettable keepsake.

Gold jewelry is often a popular choice for children because it's durable and hypoallergenic. Some little ones have negative reactions to non-hypoallergenic piercings, so this is especially important for ear piercings.

If you are on the hunt for kids’ earrings made out of a soft material like gold, and with screwable backs that can be securely fastened, these Baby & Children’s Crystal Cross Earrings in Yellow Gold are an adorable gift to consider.

As kids get older, they’re likely to gain interest in fashion and accessories

Did you know that men’s wedding bands can be made of platinum, rose or white gold, titanium, tungsten, silver, and even Damascus steel? We bring you the best men’s wedding band designs!

For every engagement, there is always a flood of friends and family who want to see the gorgeous engagement ring you spent so much time choosing for your future spouse. Their engagement ring is an important symbol in your marriage story, but your wedding band is just as important and meaningful. You’ll wear your wedding band for the rest of your life, and it should be a personal, durable, stylish band you can cherish forever.

Fortunately, men’s wedding band options have vastly expanded in recent years, so you have plenty of choices. The sheer number of possible rings can be overwhelming, but a great place to start is by selecting the kind of metal you want. Men’s wedding bands used to be offered mostly in gold, but there are now several metals to choose from — each with their own benefits.

Platinum, tungsten, silver and steel are all excellent alternative metals for men’s wedding rings, and we’ll discuss each of their strengths here. Once you figure out what metal and style you want for your ring, it’s easy to find a wedding band you’ll be proud to wear forever.

Platinum

Platinum has been a popular metal in the jewelry world for years and it’s no wonder why — platinum’s unbelievable durability and beauty make it a perfect metal for lifelong wear. Even tougher than gold, platinum can handle nicks and scratches from everyday use. Platinum is also great for people with allergies and sensitivities to certain metals because it’s hypoallergenic.

If you’re looking for a premium men’s wedding band with a matte, silvery look that you can pass down for generations, platinum might be the right metal for you.

Rose gold has been around since the early 19th century, but it’s never been so popular among fashion influencers and women on the hunt for jewelry that really stands out. But what is rose gold made of, and why is it so pink-tastic? Find out more about this trending precious metal.

The days of choosing only between gold or silver for rings, earrings, and wedding bands are gone. The rise of rose gold offers the single most important element to style-conscious women: options! Pairing beautifully with colored gemstones, diamonds, and other metals, rose gold is what brides-to-be are increasingly choosing to express their unique fashion sense.

But for all the recent hype rose gold receives, not many people know what gives it its pinky tone. Here’s everything you need to know:

What Is Rose Gold 

Rose gold is made by combing yellow gold, copper, and sometimes silver. Copper gives rose gold its pinky hue, and the higher the copper content, the rosier the gold appears. And it looks amazing against absolutely any skin tone.
