Many parents start to think about buying their daughter “real” jewelry when she reaches her pre-teen years. Often a pre-teen girl is responsible enough to care for real jewelry so it will remain in excellent condition. Most pre-teen girls have outgrown the stage of youth where misplacing things is quite common. So the first thought begins…..what pearl styles should you consider for your pre-teen daughter?
There are many different styles of pearl jewelry. The secret to finding the very best style is to consider both your daughter’s personality and her fashion taste. While the typical pre-teen’s fashion taste may blow in and out like the wind - her personality often remains steady and strong. Each of these can help to indicate what style of pearl jewelry would be ideal for her.
Another factor to consider when choosing pearl jewelry for your pre-teen is to think of what she thinks are her best physical features. If she thinks her hands and arms are lovely, then a pearl bracelet could be an excellent choice. If she prefers her face, neck and shoulders then a pearl necklace is an ideal choice. If your pre-teen daughter thinks her face, ears and eyes are her best features then selecting a pair of pearl earrings could be a great selection for her. Notice we are not asking which you believe to be her best feature - but what she finds most complimentary. Choosing pearl jewelry that compliments what she is most confident about will make her feel her very best. She will appreciate not only this gift of real pearl jewelry - but also the gift of confidence you are sharing with her.
If you are tempted to buy real pearl jewelry for your pre-teen daughter but she has had a common occurance of misplacing things in the past - help her to break this habit. Grown women understand that pearls need gentle care and to be stored on their own. Take the time to give her a special place to keep her pearls and explain to her the proper care for pearls. That the extra time she spends taking care of her pearls will extend their length and enjoyment of them. The gift of pearls and this responsibility of them is also a gift she will appreciate. With this gift she knows she is being given your confidence and a sign that she is growing up and being given grown up things.
Celebrate your pre-teen daughter’s first pearls just as you would celebrate any other special milestone for her. Take her for tea and sweet cakes at a fancy restaurant or hotel so she can wear a pretty dress and her pearls. Show her how to french braid her hair so her pearl earrings will be complimented even more. Take photos of your daughter enjoying her pearls and place them in a special frame next to her treasure box holding the pearls. This will remind her of the special memory she has shared of the very first time she wore her first pearl jewelry - filled with happiness.
