Are you in confusion whether the silver is safe for kids and babies?
Yes, 925 sterling silver is one of the safest metals for kids and babies, provided it is nickel-free. Unlike fashion jewellery that often contains harmful alloys, high-quality 925 silver is hypoallergenic, making it ideal for delicate skin prone to irritation or rashes.
At Nipura, we ensure every piece in our Kids Collection is free from nickel and crafted for safety, giving parents peace of mind while their little ones shine.
Why 925 Sterling Silver is the Best Choice for Kids
Choosing the right jewellery for your child is about more than just cute designs; it's about health and safety. A common worry among parents is, "Will this cause a rash?" or "Is it safe for my baby's new piercing?"
Here is why silver earrings for kids made from 925 sterling silver are the gold standard for safety and style.
1. Naturally Hypoallergenic
Children's skin is significantly more sensitive than adults'. Many "fashion" earrings contain nickel, a common allergen that causes contact dermatitis. Authentic 925 sterling silver consists of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% safe alloys like copper never nickel. This composition makes it hypoallergenic and safe for daily wear.
2. Durability Meets Affordability
While gold is a classic choice, it is expensive and can be stressful if a child accidentally loses an earring at school or the playground. 925 silver earrings offer the perfect balance: they are a precious metal that retains value, yet they are affordable enough to build a fun collection of unicorns, flowers, and stars for your child.
3. Antimicrobial Properties
Historically, silver has been used for its natural antimicrobial properties. In Indian culture, wearing silver (especially anklets and earrings) is believed to help ward off infections and keep the body cool.
Safety First: Features to Look For in Kids' Earrings
When shopping for silver earrings for baby girls or young children, design matters just as much as material. At Nipura, we design specifically for active little ones. Here is what you should check before you buy:
Screw-Back Mechanisms
Standard "butterfly" backs can easily be pulled off by curious fingers or get caught in hair. We recommend screw-back studs for kids. These backs twist onto the post, ensuring the earring stays securely in place so your child won't lose them and they are comfortable enough to sleep in.
Smooth, Rounded Edges
Sharp prongs can scratch delicate skin. Our silver earrings for kids feature smooth, rounded designs to prevent any accidental scratches during play or nap time.
Lightweight Design
Heavy hoops or danglers can stretch a child’s earlobe. Look for lightweight studs that sit comfortably on the ear without dragging it down.

Care Tips for Kids' Silver Jewellery
Silver is durable, but active kids can be tough on their accessories! Here is how to keep their silver earrings sparkling:
- Store it Right: When not in use, keep the earrings in the provided Ziploc bag. Air exposure causes natural tarnishing, so an airtight seal keeps them shiny.
- Avoid Chemicals: Keep jewellery away from lotions, sunscreen, and swimming pool water.
- Gentle Cleaning: If the earrings look a little dull after a week of playground adventures, simply wipe them with a soft cotton cloth to restore their sparkle.
