Children’s skin is delicate, and choosing the wrong type of jewelry can lead to irritation, redness, or allergic reactions. That’s why selecting hypoallergenic jewelry is essential.
At Hearts & Halos, every piece is designed with your child’s comfort in mind—crafted from pure, precious metals that are safe for sensitive skin.
What Makes Jewelry Hypoallergenic?
- Solid 14k Gold: Pure gold is naturally hypoallergenic, making it ideal for children.
- High-Quality Stones: We use AAA pearls, DiamonLuxe™ Cubic Zirconia, and premium Swarovski® Crystals that are safe and gentle.
- Nickel-Free: Nickel is the most common metal allergen. Our pieces are nickel-free for maximum comfort.
Symptoms of Jewelry Allergies in Kids
- Redness or swelling around the piercing
- Itchy or flaky skin
- Discomfort when wearing earrings

Choosing Safe Jewelry for Sensitive Skin
Always look for:
- Solid Gold (not plated). All of our earrings and cross necklaces are solid gold and never plated, and our engravable necklaces and charms are sterling silver.
- Screw-back earrings for security. Hearts & Halos offers the highest standard screw-back earrings for kids. We also provide Finely Crafted Hinge and Snap Closures on our Huggie Hoop Earrings.
- Small, lightweight Studs and Hoop Earrings that won’t tug on ears. Our earrings and necklaces are specially designed for children.
