Pearls Are Perfect For Your PreTeen

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

blake-lively-pearls-teen-vogueMany 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.

Today in the U.S.A. many celebrate the holiday of Thanksgiving. A day of gratitude, warmth a goodwill, it is a time to share a sumptous meal with your family and other loved ones. Thanksgiving is a day steeped in traditions. Thanksgiving is the perfect day to wear your favorite pearls. Many women put on the pearls that were given to them by their mother or even their grandmother on Thanksgiving, to share these treasures with the whole family.

As they share the Thanksgiving meal, they look at their own daughters or nieces and know that once day their pearls will be passed down to the next generation.

But otherwise your pearls can be quite sturdy over time - and handled gently will last for a very long time.

The holidays are often a time we think of family that is with us today or family that is long gone.

As you touch your pearls during the day and evening, you’ll be gently reminded that they are always in your heart and with you in spirit. While they are not sitting at your Thanksgiving table, you wear a beautiful treasure around your neck from them that will always remind you of just how special they are.

There are many reasons to wear your pearls - but an excellent reason to wear your pearls during the holidays is that they can inspire family stories. As you wear your grandmother’s pearls, you may be reminded of a story about your grandmother that is perfect to share with everyone. The legacy of your grandmother lives on always as you wear her pearls and share her life and beautiful pearls with others.

Another special tradition of the holidays is to permit your young daughter to wear  your handed down pearls for the Thanksgiving meal. This makes her feel special, knowing she is wearing a family heirloom. Best of all she’ll learn first-hand how to treat pearl jewelry, gently and carefully. Your daughter will treasure these moments of first wearing your pearls at Thanksgiving, remember feeling quite young but so grown up all at once.
