It is traditional to give a child jewelry as a christening gift. Christening jewelry is usually a christening necklace with christening rings or an engraved bracelet. But who buys the christening necklace? Traditionally, christening jewelry is given to baptized children by their godparents, parents or grandparents. This makes christening jewelry a memento of the day that will stay with the christened child for a lifetime. Gender is irrelevant, as both girls and boys are given christening jewelry.

Giving jewelry for baptism
Go beyond traditional gifts like baptism necklaces with baptismal rings or tiny bracelets. These pieces of jewelry are often only suitable for babies or toddlers, at an age when they cannot appreciate such a gift. Once they reach an age where they can, the bracelet is too small, and the necklace is too short. Think ahead and give the baptized child a piece of jewelry that they can still wear as an adult. Therefore, at PURELEI, you won't find traditional baptism jewelry but durable and waterproof pieces in timeless designs inspired by Hawaii that will accompany the baptized child on their life journey and always remind them of you.
What to wear for baptism?
A baptism is a joyful and solemn event. For the baptism, it's best to choose an outfit in light colors that is appropriate for the festive occasion in the church. White, cream, beige, apricot, yellow, light blue, and pink are, for example, colors that go well with a baptism celebration. A little tip: Bring a blazer, cardigan, or a suitable sweater, as the thick stone walls in churches can be quite cool even in summer. Whether you wear a jumpsuit, a dress, or chic pants with a blouse, PURELEI jewelry complements your baptism outfit perfectly. Our waterproof, Hawaii-inspired pieces of jewelry in various designs and styles are perfect for such a joyful occasion and exude Aloha vibes. You can combine different necklaces for a layering look or complete bold looks with a single necklace, earrings, or a bracelet.
How many pieces of jewelry can one wear for baptism?
During a baptism, the focus should be on the baptized child – most children achieve this on their own through their cuteness. Therefore, it is recommended to choose jewelry that complements the outfit, matches your personality, and is appropriate for the occasion. A pretty necklace layering with two or three necklaces or an elegant ring stacking is within the acceptable range, but it shouldn't be overdone. A single necklace with a special pendant or striking hoops can also add the finishing touch to the outfit. The key is that you feel comfortable. If you need ideas for layering, you can find layering guides for necklaces, rings, and earrings on our website.
