It has long been a tradition to gift jewellery to children for their Christening. Hardly surprising as there is such a large array of wonderful designs available. Whether spending a small amount of money or something more expensive, the child will have a treasure to value through their ongoing years.
When it comes to christening jewellery a small expanding bracelet of silver or gold is a great choice for a little girl. Silver can be purchased from around £10 upwards, gold being more expensive. Charm bracelets are also popular as delicate charms can be added at birthdays, Christmas and other anniversaries. Some jewellery designers offer a range of links and beads, which are very popular at the moment. What’s more bracelets and necklaces can be found at good High Street jewellers, and also online.
Delicate gold chains are also a popular christening jewellery choice for both girls and boys. Pendants of teddy bears, fairies, or butterflies are a suitable for girls, while miniature cars, bikes or blocks are fantastic for boys.
A pair of earrings may also be suitable for a Christening gift – many cultures have their babies ears pierced at quite a young age. Care does need to be taken though as the earring can be easily pulled, causing damage to the ear. It’s best to choose a small neat stud rather than anything too elaborate.
A novel idea for a unique Christening gift for either boy or girl is an item of ‘fingerprint’ jewellery. The baby’s fingerprint is captured in a mould and set in a piece of silver. Just call into a High Street jewellery store or request that a kit been sent out to you. Starting at £40, bracelets, charms and pendants are among the many different items available.
Christening jewellery has always been a popular gift choice, and with such an array of fantastic choice it’s hardly surprising.
