At what age are earrings suitable for children? – Safety, age & clear recommendations

Earrings for children – a special moment that requires responsibility

For many children and parents, their first earrings are an emotional moment. But however beautiful earrings may be for children, safety must always come first . Therefore, one of the most important questions arises: At what age are earrings truly appropriate for children?

❌ Under 3 years: Earrings for children are strictly prohibited

At Funkelino, we have a clear and responsible stance: Earrings are absolutely taboo for children under 3 years old.

The reason is clear: children's jewelry contains small parts that can be swallowed . These include, among other things:

• ❌ Rubber stoppers
• ❌ Butterfly clasps
• ❌ small stud earrings or jewelry elements

These parts can come loose and be swallowed by small children – there is an acute risk of choking . Even though earrings are worn very early in some cultures, in Germany and the EU the following applies: children's jewelry is not suitable for children under 3 years of age.

👉 That's why all Funkelino products are clearly labelled and come with clear warnings .

🌍 Cultural differences – our responsibility remains the same

We are aware that earrings have been worn in various cultures for a long time. However, as a responsible children's jewelry brand based in Germany, we strictly adhere to EU safety standards .

Your child's safety always comes before traditions or trends for us.

✅ Our clear recommendation: Earrings for children aged 6 and up

We recommend that children only wear earrings from around the age of 6. From this age, children can:

• ✔ Wear jewelry consciously
• ✔ Putting on and taking off earrings independently
• ✔ Understand that jewelry is not a toy
• ✔ Handle small parts more carefully

This not only reduces safety risks, but also ensures that earrings can be enjoyed for longer and are not immediately lost or damaged.
