What earrings are best for children's ears?
We highly recommend earrings made using precious metals with a higher gold content, specifically 18k or 14k gold earrings for a baby or rhodium-plated high-quality sterling silver earrings. Your baby's ears are sensitive, and only premium quality earrings should be used.Jul 10, 2020

Surgical stainless steel earrings are typically your best bet for new piercings, as this metal is the least likely to cause an allergic reaction. Nickel and cobalt allergies are very common, so avoid these metals when you first get your ears pierced.
What size earrings do kids wear?
