In fact, I think that earrings are the best present for teens. There’s lots of options, they’re really affordable and if you’re celebrating something really special, it’s easy to buy a really special pair of earrings.
When shopping for earrings for teenagers, there are lots of things to consider. Here’s a definitive guide for buying the best pair of earrings for a girl.
This is a guest post from Sparkle, Jewellery For Teens.
Hypoallergenic, Hypoallergenic, Hypoallergenic
No matter the age of the girl you’re giving a pair of earrings to, it’s really important that the pair you buy are hypoallergenic.
Hypoallergenic earrings often have sterling silver or stainless steel posts, even if they are gold plated. The post is the piece of metal that goes through the piercing.
Sterling silver 925 contains 95% silver, so it’s a pretty pure metal. You can also buy earrings made from sterling silver 999, which is 99% silver. No matter the metal content, try to find earrings which don’t contain nickel, as this is the alloy which is most likely to cause irritation.
Studs Are Best For Younger Teens
For young teenagers and tweens, up to the age of about 14, we find that studs are the best present. Stud earrings are often lighter than hoops so are perfect for newer piercings.
We also find that for younger teens, silver earrings are a more popular option, but that if earrings have cute bees or an enamel daisy, then they are very popular.
Silver Hoops Are Very Cute For Older Teenagers
For teenagers age 15 and up, sterling silver hoops are almost always the best type of earring to buy. There are lots of styles to consider here: teens often love some zircon stones embedded in their hoops, but we have found that bestsellers are ones with heart drops.
If you’re celebrating exam success, then earrings with a star are the perfect present.
Consider How Much You Want To Spend
When buying earrings for girls, it’s important to consider just how much you’d like to spend. If you’re buying a pair of hypoallergenic studs for a younger teen, know that they may be lost within a year!
That doesn’t mean that she doesn’t love them, it just means she is thirteen. Luckily, you can buy hypoallergenic studs from £14.00, so you don’t need to spend much to help her feel very special.
For an older teenager, you might want to buy her something she can treasure for years to come. In this case, we recommend sterling silver or 18ct gold plated. You could spend a huge amount of money on these, exploring sites like Pandora and Tiffany’s.
But sterling silver will last, no matter how much you spend so we think, unless you’re buying special stones, it’s best to cap your budget at £40 and instead invest in a necklace to match!
Earrings are the perfect present for any teen girl. Follow this gift guide to ensure you buy the perfect pair and your favourite teen will be delighted on her special day.
