Etsy for Kids

Filed in archive Costume and Fashion Jewelry on April 11, 2010

I'm a little obsessed with Etsy.com. I get bored with the same-old, same-old jewelry styles out there, and Etsy has some really great designers.

My friend's little girl (age five) wears jewelry sometimes. She loves it. Little rings, little pendants, tiny bracelets. I admit that at first I found it disturbing - evidence that the child was growing up too fast.

But then I remembered how much I loved putting on my mother's jewelry when I was a little kid and how incredibly fun it was to play "dress up." They didn't make child-sized jewelry in those days.

I know everyone sells kid jewelry now and some of it costs a pretty penny. Etsy carries a lot of great designs for kids or for adults, and the price point is such that there's no pain if the necklace you select ends up part of your child's "dress up" collection.

I particularly love the Watermelon Blossoms with Moss Green and Cocoa Brown Ribbon Necklaces (what a mouthful!). At $12.99, the price is fair, and it's a lovely accessory. I also thought the Bee's Knees Necklace would be cute for a child (or an adult!), and it's only $16.50.

Check out the sellers' other items while you're at it. There are lots of great designs to be had, and all under $20.00!
