Gifts for Kids at Hamilton Jewelers

A child's first real piece of jewelry is a small thing that gets remembered. It might be a pair of gold studs for a birthday, a bangle for a first communion or a pearl necklace that grows one pearl at a time. Hamilton has been giving Princeton and Palm Beach children these pieces since 1912, and many of the grandparents who shop with us received their own here.

Hamilton's Design A Pearl program starts a child with a 14k gold chain and a single pearl, and adds pearls for each birthday or milestone until the strand is complete. Children's 14k gold stud earrings come in butterflies, ladybugs, hearts and turtles, and the 14k overlay ladybug and ABC bangles are sized for small wrists. Birthstone pendants and petite gold crosses mark a baptism or a birthday. From Hamilton Home, Michael Aram's bunny coin bank and pink elephant frame suit a nursery or a first room. These are gifts for a birthday, a christening, a communion, a dance recital or a grandparent who wants to start a tradition.

Visit us in Princeton or Palm Beach to see the pieces, or book an appointment and our team will help you choose something appropriate for the child's age. Every order is gift wrapped, and our team can explain how Design A Pearl works and how to add to it over the years.

A child starts with a gold chain and one pearl. Pearls are added for birthdays and milestones until the strand is full. Our team can explain the steps and keep track of the necklace over the years.

At what age is gold jewelry appropriate for a child?

Stud earrings with secure backs are common from toddlerhood if ears are pierced; bangles and pendants suit school-age children. Our team can advise on fit and safety.

Can children's jewelry be engraved?

Bangles, pendants and the backs of some charms can be engraved with a name or date. Our team can advise on space and timing.

Is there a gift for a child who is too young for jewelry?

A coin bank, a frame or a Design A Pearl starter that is kept until they are older. Our team can suggest options.
