Silver Baby Bracelets

Silver baby bracelets have replaced rattles, porringers and spoons as the gift of choice to welcome a new arrival. There are many styles and designs to choose from, including beaded name bracelets, ID bracelets, and bracelets with a charm. These gifts make keepsakes that will be treasured forever.

Silver Baby Bracelets with Charms

If you're a godparent, a simple bracelet with a cross makes a perfect christening gift, and is appropriate for both boys and girls. Maybe Dad would like to see his son wearing a manly--though tiny--silver chain with a football pendant. Or perhaps he'd like to give his little daughter the key to his heart.

Another darling style for silver baby bracelets is a row of flat charms. Tiny hearts in a row look adorable circling a little wrist, or you can have a collection of different but related charms, such as circus animals or butterflies enameled in different colors. You can also choose letter charms to spell out the newcomer's name. Another option is an engraved bangle, usually with open ends for easy removal.

Safety is, of course, a primary concern when choosing silver baby bracelets. Be sure that the bracelet fits snugly enough that it won't slip off a little wrist. Check the clasp to be sure it stays closed, and examine the o-ring that holds any charms. And if your baby wears his or her bracelet all the time, be sure to remove it before it becomes too tight. Put it in a keepsake box for your child to have and treasure later.
