Question for those of you who had little kids at one point -
specifically girls - at what age was it ok for them to start wearing jewelry? Specifically necklaces. With everyone so safety conscious and "nothing around their necks" and all - at what point are little girls "allowed" to wear jewelry? Pretty much all my friends have boys and don't really know. |

Well I only had boys. I think that whatever age they are allowed to wear necklaces there should be a weak link in it somewhere. That would be able to allow it to break if snagged. A point in fact is. When I worked in a library we were given a personnel alarm that hung round our necks. We has been experiencing threatening behaviour from some of the local rough necks. The alarm had a round rubber thong that went round the neck and the idea was to pull on the device to make the alarm sound. It would ring in the local police station However I could visualised someone grabbing the thong and using it as a garrotte without the alarm going off. So the alarm stayed nearby in a drawer. One day a local policeman came in for a periodic check and asked why we were not wearing it. So I asked him to remove his helmet and put it round his neck and grabbed the thong to demonstrate. He went quite pale and was very scared. He then understand how we felt. The alarm was withdrawn. It had no weak link for a breaking point. Just my opinion.

Hugs Shirley -- Shirley Shone Thanks to you both! I've put a jump ring in as a weak link - it would give out first if it got snagged in something or grabbed! |

You could fix this by putting a magnetic clasp on it.
I make id badge holders for nurses and a requirement is that they be break aways so this can't happen to them. Celeste |
