DAILI screw back earrings for children

Screw back and flat back earrings cut small for a child's lobe: 20G posts in titanium and 316L surgical steel, fronts of five and six millimetres in cubic zirconia, flowers, hearts, bows and stars, sold in boxes of five, eight and twelve pairs so a lost one is not a crisis.

6 pieces
11 metal tones
20G gauge
5–6 mm across

A child's earring is bought for two things a grown-up's is not: it has to stay on without being thought about, and it has to be small enough that a jumper coming off does not take it with it. That is why every pair on this shelf screws or presses flat rather than clutching, why the posts are 20G, and why the fronts stop at six millimetres. Boxes of twelve pairs are not a bulk discount so much as an admission of what happens between September and Christmas. On timing and aftercare this shelf points at the paediatricians rather than at itself: the American Academy of Pediatrics says to wait until a child is old enough to look after the site, to leave the first earring in for four to six weeks turning it gently each day, and to treat redness or tenderness as a reason to see a doctor. Children's jewellery sold in the United States is also under a hard legal limit for lead, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission publishes it; the rule is linked at the foot of this shelf, and the testing behind any one batch belongs to the manufacturer.

Where this comes from

Avoiding Infection After Ear Piercing · American Academy of Pediatrics, HealthyChildren.org. The first earring stays in for four to six weeks and is turned gently each day; a piercing is postponed until a child is old enough to look after the site; redness or tenderness means a possible infection and prompt medical attention. Read September 7, 2026.
Total Lead Content · U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. An accessible component of a product designed or intended primarily for children twelve years of age or younger must not contain more than 100 parts per million of total lead. Read September 7, 2026.
Nickel allergy: How to avoid exposure and reduce symptoms · American Academy of Dermatology. Earrings and earring backs are named among the biggest culprits for a nickel reaction. The metals the page names as less likely to trigger one are surgical-grade stainless steel, 18, 22 or 24 karat yellow gold, pure sterling silver and platinum. Read September 7, 2026.

Questions about DAILI earrings for children

Why these are screw backs, what the 20G post means, what a box of twelve pairs is for, and what the paediatric advice actually says about a child's first earring.

What age should a child be for DAILI screw back earrings?

The catalogue does not set an age, and a shop should not. The American Academy of Pediatrics frames it around the child rather than the calendar: wait until they are old enough to look after the site themselves, because the cleaning and the not-touching decide how it goes. Their page is linked at the foot of this shelf.

Why are DAILI kids earrings screw backs rather than clutches?

A clutch comes off in a jumper, in a swimming pool and in a hairbrush, and a child notices at bedtime. A screw thread has to be deliberately turned. That is the difference between an earring and a small object on a classroom floor, and it is why the whole shelf closes that way.

How small are DAILI earrings for children?

The posts are 20G, the thinnest in the catalogue, and the fronts stop at five and six millimetres. That is small enough to sit flat on a child's lobe with nothing for a collar to catch, and it is why the pieces on this shelf look modest beside the rest of the site.

What does DAILI say about metal in children's earrings?

We print it: titanium or 316L surgical steel, with 14K gold plating on the gold pairs. Children's jewellery sold in the United States is also under a legal limit for lead set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and we link the rule. We publish no test results of our own, because we hold none.
