Children's earrings

Here we have gathered earrings that are small enough for children: studs and other gold and silver earrings no taller than 12 mm. The height of every model is listed in its specifications, so you can compare sizes before you buy.

Recommended earring height by age

• Under 1 year – decorative part up to 3–4 mm. Tiny studs with a smooth screw-back are the best choice.
• 1–3 years – 3–5 mm. Compact studs without dangling parts are the safest option.
• 4–8 years – 5–7 mm. Besides studs, small hoops or earrings with an English or French clasp work well.
• 8 years and older – 7–12 mm, including neat models with a small drop.

What else to check

• Inner height of the clasp. For earrings with an English or French clasp, the distance from the post to the bottom of the clasp should be about 5–7 mm so the earlobe is not pinched.
• Post length. Children's studs usually have an 8–10 mm post. The back should cover the tip completely so it does not scratch behind the ear, even during sleep.
• Weight. A pair of children's earrings should ideally weigh less than 1.5–2 g so it does not pull the earlobe down. The weight of each model is shown next to its size.
• Material. 585 gold and 925 silver are suitable for everyday wear and sensitive skin.

For the youngest children choose the models with the smallest height. If you are unsure about size or clasp, message us on WhatsApp – we will gladly help.
