Questions about Children's Cross Earrings â 14K Gold & Sterling Silver
What size cross and chain suit a child?
A smaller, lighter cross with rounded rather than pointed ends is the usual choice, on a 14 to 16 inch chain â 18 inches is an adult length and will hang too low. Many families buy the cross to last and replace the chain as the child grows.
Why does sterling silver darken, and can it be undone?
Silver reacts with sulfur in the air and darkens. It is oxidation on the surface, not damage to the metal, and a silver polishing cloth reverses it in seconds. Because sterling is 92.5% silver throughout rather than a coating, polishing never wears through to another metal.
How do I know the metal is what it says?
Every gold piece is stamped with its karat and every sterling piece with .925, and the stamp is the guarantee. Lovely Rita's has sold fine jewelry since 2001 and lists the metal, purity and construction in the specifications on each product page.
Is this a good gift, and for what occasion?
These are given most often for a baptism, a christening, First Communion, a godchild. A cross is one of the few gifts that is kept and worn for decades rather than used and replaced, which is why it suits a milestone.
