How to find the perfect children's ring
The right material: skin-friendly and durable
Children's skin is sensitive. A children's ring should therefore be made of high-quality, skin-friendly materials that do not cause allergies. At the same time, rings for children must be robust enough to withstand a child's active everyday life.
Allergies and nickel intolerance
Nickel allergies are widespread and can cause skin irritation, itching or redness. As nickel is often found in inexpensive metal alloys, jewelry for sensitive skin should always be nickel-free. Real silver is a proven choice, as silver is naturally nickel-free and well tolerated.
Suitable materials for children's rings:
silver – Contains no nickel, is durable and particularly skin-friendly. It also retains its shine for a long time. The best-known silver alloy in the jewelry sector is 925 sterling silver.
Rhodium-plated silver – The rhodium plating forms a protective layer that prevents the silver from tarnishing and also ensures a smooth, resistant surface. This extends the life of the children's ring.
Gold-plated children's rings – A thin layer of real gold gives the children's jewelry a sophisticated look, while the silver base ensures stability. High-quality gold plating ensures a long-lasting shine.
Enamel children's rings – Enamel not only provides bright colors and playful designs, but also forms a protective, smooth surface. It is durable, resistant to scratches and contains no irritating substances.
The high-quality material ensures that the ring is comfortable for children to wear and does not cause any skin irritation. This means that children can enjoy their jewelry without any worries.

The right size: how the children's ring fits comfortably
A ring for children should not be too tight, but should also not slip off the finger. As children's hands are still growing, it is important to choose the right size.
Measuring methods for the right ring size:
With a tape measure – Measure the circumference of the finger at the point where the children's ring should sit. Mark the measured millimeters with a ring size chart and compare.
Use a matching ring as a template – Place a well-fitting ring on a ring size chart and compare the inside diameter with the specified sizes.
Alternative without tape measure – Place a thin strip of paper or string around your finger, mark the overlap and then measure the length with a ruler. Mark this length with a ring size chart and synchronize.
Choose the right finger – As children's fingers grow, we always recommend choosing the index finger for the children's ring. Next to the thumb, the index finger is usually the "thickest" finger on the hand. As the child grows, the ring can simply move from the index finger to the middle finger via the ring finger to the little finger.
A child's ring that is too big can easily get lost, while one that is too tight can be uncomfortable. A size that fits well but is not too tight is ideal. You can find a detailed explanation of how to measure the ring size here: What ring size do I have?

Fixed sizes vs. adjustable children's rings
Many parents opt for adjustable children's rings as they grow with the child. But these often have disadvantages:
- Open splint can be uncomfortable
- Deforms faster and can break
Closed children's rings, on the other hand, offer certain advantages:
- Besser: A ring with a fixed size offers more comfort and durability
- Secure fit: No risk of the ring opening unintentionally and then falling off
A sturdy children's ring with a fixed size is particularly recommended for active children.
The right design: child-friendly and enchanting
Children's rings are available in many playful designs that make children's eyes light up.
Popular designs:
- Flowers & Animals – A colorful butterfly on the finger - the perfect gift for little dreamers!
- Hearts & stars – Perfect for children who love it classic!
- Colored enamel rings – Bright rainbow colors for creative children who love individuality
Which design would your child like best?
Important: The ring for children should not be too bulky so that it sits comfortably and does not interfere with playing.

Frequently asked questions about buying a children's ring
Which ring size is suitable for children? – Children's rings are usually sized between 42 and 50. A measuring tape or a suitable ring as a template will help you determine the size. Ring sizes over 52 should perhaps be measured again to be on the safe side ;)
Which materials are best for children's rings? – Genuine precious metals such as gold and silver are particularly skin-friendly and durable. Well-known alloys such as 925 sterling silver are of high quality and always nickel-free from reputable suppliers. Rhodium-plated or gold-plated models offer additional protection and an elegant look.
Are adjustable children's rings recommended? – They are practical, but often less comfortable and durable than rings with a fixed size. This is usually more comfortable for children to wear and is of a higher quality.
