The selection of jewellery for children has changed a lot over the years.

When I took over the shop, we would often reach for the classic Dagmar Cross, small hearts and crosses when choosing jewellery for a child. Today, fortunately, there is much more to choose from.

At Perlen, you’ll find children’s jewellery featuring everything from unicorns and hearts to ladybirds, horses, pandas and other cute animals. Many designs feature colourful enamel, giving the jewellery a fun and child-friendly look. Personally, I have a soft spot for the little unicorns. They come as both earrings and necklaces and in different colours – and they really are quite hard to resist.

Jewellery for Both Girls and Boys Children’s jewellery certainly doesn’t have to be just for girls. There is also plenty of jewellery for boys, and ultimately it’s simply about finding a motif or design that suits the child.

A piece of jewellery can make a lovely gift for a birthday, christening, confirmation or simply just because, and some of those first pieces of jewellery are kept as treasured memories long after the child has outgrown them. Perhaps that’s exactly what makes children’s jewellery so special – the pieces may be small, but the memories that come with them can last for many years.
