Solid 14K Gold Jewelry for Babies and Kids

How to choose a solid 14K gold baby bracelet

For a baby or young child, choose gold jewelry that is light, smooth, securely closed and solid gold all the way through. Our baby ID bracelet is solid 14K gold stamped 585, with an engravable name plate and a small enamel star in pink or turquoise.

Why solid gold for children

Children's skin can be sensitive, and plated pieces can wear through to base metal with daily rubbing. Solid 14K gold has no coating to wear off. If you want to understand the difference, read solid gold vs gold-filled vs gold-plated. A gold bracelet given at birth is also kept for years, often as a keepsake after it is outgrown.

Engraving the name plate

The ID plate can carry a name, initials or a date. Short text engraves more clearly on a small plate, so a first name or initials often looks best. Check spelling before ordering, since the piece is engraved to your text. The pink or turquoise enamel star adds a little color; choose the one that suits the child or the occasion.

Fit and safety

A baby bracelet should sit loosely enough to slide a finger underneath, but not so loose that it slips over the hand. Check the length on the listing and measure the wrist before ordering. Always supervise young children wearing jewelry, take the bracelet off for sleep, and check the clasp regularly. Our baby gold bracelet guide covers sizing by age and safe wear in detail.

Gifting for children

A gold ID bracelet is a traditional gift for a birth, a naming ceremony or a first birthday, and in Turkey gold is often given to newborns. You can read more in Turkish jewelry traditions. For older children, the adjustable three star bracelet for small wrists in our gold bracelets suits a first communion, and initial pieces are in our personalized gold jewelry. Every order arrives in a free illuminated jewelry box, which children tend to enjoy opening.
