But, rings, earrings, bracelets, name pendants and necklaces can add a touch of elegance to our attire. To achieve the look you fancy for your child, you need to choose the right pendant and necklace that compliments their personality and goes well with their outfit of the day. Thus, the below guide can help you make the right decision.
A] How to Choose the Right Pendant Size for Kids?
When choosing jewellery for kids, such as a gold pendant, it is vital to keep in mind a few details:1. Large pendants:
A large gold pendant is eye-catching as it becomes the focal point of the overall look. Pairing a large pendant with a simple outfit is the best choice for a kid who loves vibrantly bold and beautiful jewellery. Just ensure to buy a sturdy chain for a large pendant, or better yet, choose a large pendant necklace, which is bound to surprise them.2. Small pendants:
A small pendant with a dainty gold chain is a popular jewellery option for kids. While a large pendant can help you make a fashion statement, a small pendant is an everyday jewellery item, ideal for casual and formal wear. You can take your pick from a range of small pendants for chains available online or opt for a personalised pendant.3. Be presentable:
While it is okay to make a statement with a pendant, don’t ignore other factors. If your child has long hair, ensure it doesn’t entangle with the jewellery. If your child is wearing a large pendant necklace, her hair should be pinned-up to draw attention to it. Likewise, for a small pendant, make sure her hair is pulled back in a ponytail. This will provide a more polished and sleek look.4. Occasion:

C] How to Choose the Right Necklace/Chain?
Similar to kids pendants, there are a few factors that you should know when purchasing a necklace/chain for a pendant. This will ensure both the pendant and the necklace design are perfectly balanced.1. Weight and Colour of the necklace/chain
To avoid breakage ensure that the pendant doesn’t weigh more than the chain. The colour of the chain should complement the colour of the pendant. For example, you can pair a white gold pendant with a gold, silver or platinum chain.- 18 Karat gold: It contains 75% gold and 25% alloyed metals that provides a richer yellow colour compared to 14kt.
- 14 Karat gold: It has 58% gold and 42% alloyed metals that provides a classic yellow gold colour.
- 14 Karat white gold: White gold is an alloy of nickel, magnesium or palladium. The purity of gold is usually 14kt.
- Gold Fitted: Gold-fitted metals are available in yellow and rose gold. They are more affordable than solid gold. 14/20 gold-fitted material is crafted with 14kt gold bonded to base metal-core.
2. Length of the necklace/chain
To choose the length of the necklace/chain, you need to take into consideration the design and the pendant size. Select a chain with the width and thickness that accommodates the pendant. Also, ensure that the end ring of the necklace/chain will fit through the pendant.3. Pattern of the necklace/chain
Be wise and choose simple chain styles to go along with the pendant. The bail (clasp) of the pendant should be big enough to get through a chain or necklace. Here are some simple patterns of chain styles to use:
- Anchor: The anchor chain features oval links that are bisected across the centre. The links are thick in proportion to their size.
