Purchasing preferences are changing even in the children’s jewelry section with technology driving the rise of more options for kids today. Whether it’s jewelry for every season or infant jewelry, options have crossed borders and have become more globalized.
This way, parents are naturally more inclined and attracted to newer, more colorful shapes and sizes and are also not scared in trying out different global concepts when helping their children choose jewelry.

With that said, let’s catch up on the trends that are likely to be prevalent in the next one year in the children’s jewelry section.
1. Seasonal trends
While each season drives the need to dress differently, jewelry too gets changed seasonally. Usually when it comes to children jewelry, lighter and simpler patterns are tried in autumns and winters whereas slightly heavier and more colorful options are chosen in the summers and monsoon months.
The trend that is going to reign in the next season in the children’s jewelry category would revolve around what’s popular in that particular season. We’ve noticed a shift during winter towards items such as:
- a snowflake obsidian
- jewelry designs resembling snowflakes,
- Tinker Bell inspired jewelry pieces,
- bright colored autumn leaves
- a “GOT (Game of Thrones), Winter is coming” themed jewelry for the winter months.
In summer, preferences shift to flawless enamel finish on more colorful and flashy jewelry pieces for children.
2. Trends centered around films
Every other sci-fi movie comes up with its own range of jewelry. Hunger Games, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter series, Game of Thrones and even The Witcher have their line of jewelry. It’s natural to be inclined towards jewelry that feature your favorite characters or are worn by those characters in movies. Jewelry for children often revolve around their favorite characters nowadays and would continue to do so in the next one year’s time.

Many international characters have become famous in children’s jewelry section through books.

Globally children from almost every nook and corner are now connected to their peers and friends through social media, e-mails, messaging and video calling platforms. The same impact is visible in their selection of jewelry too.
