We all love our children more than life itself...most of the time. We want them to have lives better than our own and carry loving memories of their childhood into adulthood. Marking milestone events for children and teens is important and a popular way to do so is jewelry for teens. For hundreds of years, fine jewelry has symbolized momentous phases of life, a tradition that continues today. Buying jewelry for teens can be tricky, though. Knowing the child is all important. Here are some tips and ideas to help you find the right jewelry: [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Gemstone Birthstone Rings[/caption]

• Baby rings may seem old school but there is nothing more precious than a baby ring. While most are never worn, later in life they create a lovely slide for a dainty gold chain and become, quite possibly, a perfect and touching gift for a young girl starting junior high.
• Birthstone jewelry is always a good idea when talking about fine jewelry for teens. Boys and girls alike love having a gemstone that commemorates the month of their birth. When deciding on this type of jewelry, consider the teen. Boys of a certain age generally don't care for jewelry but a birthstone dog tag isn't jewelry. Girls, of course, typically love nearly all jewelry for teens. Consider her personality. Birthstone earrings may be perfect for one, while a ring is for another.
• ID bracelets are an ever popular style of jewelry for teens that crosses the gender lines. Young men and young women alike will appreciate a bracelet unique only to them. After all, our teenage years are all about becoming ourselves.
• Earrings are among the jewelry for teens that can apply to both teenaged boys and girls. While not all young men and women pierce an ear or two, some do and may very much appreciate a pair of earrings. While diamonds may be a bit much, CZ is an affordable alternative and is the perfect gift idea for many young people.

  While these are just a few examples of jewelry for teens, visiting your local jewelry store or shopping reputable jewelers online can expand your knowledge of available jewelry for teens on the market today. Of course, when the occasion warrants something special and unique, consult your local jeweler about creating custom design jewelry. Creating a piece of fine jewelry to mark a monumental moment in life is a memory they will never forget.
