My middle daughter just turned four and all of a sudden she is really interested in jewelry. I just chanced upon this great necklace from Rachel Taylor and wish I had found it in time for the holidays. Just the thing to make a little girl feel cool and special without going over the top, this understated necklace is a great find. I love the cute little birdy, and the brown background is charming. This child-friendly pendant is nickel and lead free for safety, so there is no need to worry about anything but losing it. You can purchase one for $19 at mylittlepumpkin.com.

SuperMama Amber Teething pain relief Necklace is a natural teething pain remedy for babies and children ages two months to two years. It is designed by be worn around the baby’s neck and not to be chewed. While other teething pain treatments involve applying gels, taking tablets or chewing biscuits, amber is different. The oils released from amber contain succinic acid. Benefits include stimulating the thyroid glands to help reduce drooling and soothe red, inflamed cheeks, in addition to other calmative and anti-fever functions. Worn against a baby’s skin, the Baltic amber necklace is supposed to release natural oils with analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects that soothe teething pain and reduce inflammation as well as drooling. You can purchase this unique teething necklace starting November 2 at SuperMamaOnline.com.

Though the necklace is depicted on a woman’s neck , I think the Embroidered Flower Felt Necklace is also the perfect gift for a little girl. Best of all? It’s 50% off at $18 from Etsy seller KaleidoscopeStyle. Wonderful for wearing around grabby babies, lightweight, and handmade, it’s a lovely shade of red. If flowers aren’t your thing, she’s got elephants and other fun choices too. This weekend, buy one and get one free as well!

Here’s a great gift for a favorite mom friend, or a treat for yourself. This Lucky Star necklace by Isabelle Grace Jewelry features a handmade 1 inch silver star pendant that can be personalized on front and/or back (some moms appreciate having their children’s birthdates engraved on the back) and then charms and/or birthstones representing mom’s kids can be added to the necklace. Mini tags can also be added, and personalized, as shown in the above photo. You can purchase this special necklace for $115 at IsabelleGraceJewelry.com.

Toys and jewelry from Haba are favorites at our house. My middle daughter just inhertited some of my oldest’s jewelry collection, and I am enjoying seeing these pieces again. Everything is unique in appearance and very well-made. As I was browsing online recently, I came upon this great Malena Flowers necklace from the company. This attractive piece is mature enough that my ten year old would likely still wear it (I might even be tempted). It is made up of red and orange beaded flowers and green “vine” beads.” This will definitely add a special touch to any outfit. It is fun for dress up play, too. You can purchase one on sale for $12.95 (marked down from $19.95) at BlueberryForest.com.

It has been said that babies can hear while in the womb, and that this is the best time to start talking to, reading to, and playing music for your baby. That’s the concept behind Baby Chimes, a 34″ necklace with a heart-or round-shaped charm that chimes when it’s moved around. It’s designed to rest on the pregnant belly, playing a gentle, calming sound for baby. Once baby is born, users say he can recognize the sound of the chime and it still has the same calming effect. This would be terrific if it really works. Made of sterling silver, Baby Chimes sells for $42.88 at doulashop.com.

Iceing on Top is a line of fine children’s jewelry created by mother/entrepreneur Chesley Fields and mom/gemologist/private jeweler Shella Eckhouse. Made of 14K yellow, white, and rose gold, these pieces of jewelry are exquisite, yet dainty enough for smaller hands, wrists, and necks. I particularly like this Heart Iceing Pendant Necklace. Made of a 14K rose gold faceted heart on a 14K rose gold cable chain, which is available in 14″ and 18″ lengths, it looks to me like the perfect gift of her first “good” jewelry for a little girl. At $295, it definitely isn’t meant to play with. Matching pieces are also available. You can view this and all of the other styles of jewelry available at IceingOnTop.com.

While these Boy & Girl Diamond Pendants by Sydney Evan might not have the “bling” appeal of the ones by Marie-Chantal reviewed here, these would make very nice Mother’s Day gifts as well. Each pendant is made of 14K yellow gold set with a full-cut diamond with a weight of .01 carat. The chain measures 16 1/2 inches long, and, best of all, this gift is made in the USA. You can purchase the Girl or Boy Pendant for a much more reasonable price of $99.99 (down from $194.95) at RedEnvelope.com. This would be a great Mother’s Day gift for a new mom, your own mom, or even a new grandmother.

This modern, funky-looking elephant necklace made by Rooster NYC makes me wish they carried one in an adult size! Fashionable little girls everywhere will be wearing this unique piece of jewelry, consisting of a double-strand necklace made of cotton with an orange plastic elephant hanging in the center. At just $32, it makes a great gift idea for a special little girl. You can purchase it at artebebe.com.

According to the  product description, Amber is known for its healing properties for liver, stomach and gall bladder disorders. Said to be helpful for colds and toothache. The Amber Teething Beads Necklace can be soothing for small children and babies with teething problems. The necklace is knotted between each bead to prevent breakage and is held together with a small plastic screw bead.

I like the idea of baby’s being able to soothe their gums on these pretty amber beads, especially if there is a “healing” quality to amber. I would just be very careful of its use: only under your supervision! Just remember to remove the necklace from baby’s crib before you say goodnight. You can view this item at naturalpod.com. This item is priced at $15.95 CAD (approx $13 USD).

When I was pregnant with my son, my best friend gave me a beautiful silver pendant on a chain. On the pendant was engraved a cameo-like image of a mother and baby. I wore it almost every day throughout my pregnancy, and still enjoy wearing it today. This “You Grow in My Heart” pendant and chain by Baptism Baby looks much like it, which is why it caught my eye. This piece of jewelry, however, is not for mom but for baby. The heart on the sterling silver pendant turns into a mother’s arms holding her precious child. It comes with an 18″ sterling silver chain with a lobster claw clasp.

This could also be worn by a mother, while the baby is still small, and then handed down to the child when she’s old enough to take care of it. It comes in its own gift pouch for safekeeping. You can purchase this beautiful gift at BaptismBaby.com, where it sells for $69.

This is a charming and sweet gift from mother to daughter. This Butterfly Make a Wish Necklace by Dogeared Daughter is a gold dipped butterfly on pink silk thread. The idea is that when the necklace wears off, your daughter’s wish will come true. The packaging also includes a message about Karma: “What goes around, comes around, wear your necklace as a reminder to keep the circle positive, peaceful and loving.”

This would be an appropriate birthday gift from a mother to a daughter of any age. Confidences and secrets between mothers and daughters are so special and so fleeting. Make the most of those special moments with your daughter before they become too “grown-up.”

You can view this item at babylaundryboutique.com, where it is priced at $30.00. Gift wrapping is available at an additional cost.

My daughter received this adorable necklace and the matching bracelet for Christmas a few years ago.  I thought it was one of the cutest pieces of children’s jewelry that I had ever encountered.  I would have absolutely treasured it when I was her age.  She isn’t much of a jewelry wearer, though, so the set is currently decorating the door knob of her bedroom.

If your daughter is more of a jewelry fan than my own, I would highly recommend the Necklace Pompadour made by Haba.  Designed to be worn by ages 3 and up, this necklace is cute and a bit quirky.  It features fuzzy fabric beads in pinks and greens that really stand out.  They coordinate well with a lot of kids clothing lines, too. You can purchase one for $18.99 at moolka.com.  The matching bracelet retails for $11.99.

Why didn’t someone think of this before. Babies always love to tug on Mom’s necklace, well now they can chew on it too. Teething bling is made out of the same material as teething toys.

Mom can wear it around her neck and Baby can grab it and stick it in his mouth. Also it is non-toxic, phthalate, BPA, PVC, and lead free. Safe for Babies and Mom.

Can be found at smartmomjewelry.com for $19.10.

Nursing necklaces keep little hands at bay and promote hand/eye coordination, according to mynursingwear.com. This pretty example, called the Dragonfly Splendor necklace, is made with Jade and Sterling Silver and is certainly eye-catching, something one wants when choosing nursing jewellery. Why be drab and dull when the idea is to distract baby from pulling hair (or worse) and wiggling? The necklace costs $35.99 and can be matched to the collection’s own striped nursing top for $29.99 (or less when on sale.) A convenient site with its coordinated pieces, needless to say, but are the items geared toward the trendy mom? For the most part, though there are a few great wrap dresses, I have to give the clothing offered thumbs down and suggest perhaps a redesign in the future of My Nursing Wear.com!
