How do I choose earrings for children?

How do I choose earrings for children? That’s a question many parents ask when their child has had their ears pierced for the first time – or wants to expand their jewelry collection. At Viclara, we know that the best choice of children’s earrings involves much more than just appearance. Comfort, safety, and material selection play just as important a role.

In this guide, we help you choose earrings that are both beautiful and thoughtfully crafted – so your child can wear them every single day with confidence and joy.

Safety first: Choose hypoallergenic materials

Children’s skin – and especially their ears – are often more sensitive than adults’. That’s why it’s important to choose earrings made from hypoallergenic materials that don’t irritate the skin.

We recommend the following materials for children:

• Medical steel
• Titanium
• 14 karat gold

These materials reduce the risk of irritation, infection, and discomfort. At Viclara we exclusively use quality materials, carefully selected with a focus on children’s safety and well-being.

Lightweight and comfortable – earrings that feel good

Earrings for children should be comfortable to wear all day — even during play. Lightweight jewelry makes it easier for the child to get used to wearing earrings and reduces the risk of discomfort.

The advantages of lightweight earrings include:

• Less strain on the earlobe
• Lower risk of the earring getting caught in clothing
• Greater comfort – your child will almost forget they’re wearing them

In our collection of children’s earrings you’ll find a wide selection of models that combine comfort and design – ideal as the first earrings or for daily wear.

The right fastening mechanism ensures security

The fastening mechanism is crucial to ensure the earrings sit securely – without causing discomfort. The choice depends, among other things, on the child's age and activity level.

We recommend:

• Young children: Screw backs or butterfly backs – these ensure that the earrings stay in place and don’t fall off.
• Older children: Mini hoops or hoops with click-lock – practical and easy to open and close without help.

Do you need guidance on which type of fastening suits your child best? Our experts at Viclara are ready to help.

Design with personality

Earrings for children are a fantastic way for your child to express their personality. By choosing jewelry that reflects your child’s style and interests, you create a stronger connection to the piece.

Popular choices for children include:

• Heart-shaped earrings
• Stars in various colors
• Simple stones with subtle sparkle

However, we recommend avoiding dangling designs, as these can more easily get caught in hair or clothing. At Viclara, we have developed a range with playful and stylish expressions that appeal to both children and parents alike.

Age and occasion: Choose earrings with care

The right occasion also plays a role in choosing earrings. Is it your child’s very first pair, or a special gift for a birthday or starting school?

We recommend:

• First earrings: Small, discreet, and classic models in neutral colors
• Older children: Designs with a bit more character – for example, shapes, colors, or meaningful symbols

A well-chosen pair of earrings can be very meaningful – both as a personal statement and as a gift that will hold its value for many years.

How to care for your child’s earrings

To ensure the earrings stay beautiful – and your child’s ears remain healthy – proper maintenance is important.

We recommend:

• Clean regularly with a mild, unscented solution
• Avoid your child touching their ears with dirty hands
• Remove earrings during sports, in the bath, and when your child sleeps

Also, regularly check whether the jewelry still fits. As your child grows, it may be necessary to adjust or upgrade to a new design.
