It's getting hard to choose! These days, there are so many styles of baby bracelets and bangles and children's bracelets. A generation ago, the decision was between a gold ID baby bracelet or a slide on gold bangle which didn't expand with growth. These bangles had limited wear due to growth of baby. Occasionally one would be found with a tiny gemstone set into it, which set it apart, and the gemstone was usually a ruby or garnet.
Today we have the following styles to choose from:
charm bracelets
ID bracelets
slide on bangles
hinged bangles with safety chain
expanding bangles
chain bracelets with extension
gemstone bracelets
crystal bracelets
pearl bracelets
pearl/gemstone/crystal bracelets
name bracelets
bracelets with enamelling
stretchy bracelets
In addition, we have
Modern styles
traditional styles
funky styles
and we have to choose between gold or sterling silver.
Children's jewellery designers appear to have outdone themselves in recent years with styles so delightful and charming, it's hard to choose just one. I suspect this is part of the reason that little girls often have a growing collection of not just bracelets, but children's earrings, necklaces and anklets. We can't stop at just one!
