I want to buy my little girl something special for her 10th, birthday. What should it be?

Some other ideas could be to get her a necklace with her name. You could also do with this a bracelet or ring.

Another idea is to get her a piece of jewelry with her birth stone. There are some really pretty birthstone pendants and you could choose one with some diamonds in it as well.

I received both of these items from my parents and I loved them both. I still wear them to this day.

I think that you can get whatever you want...but the most important thing to remember is that it be somewhat of a durable gift, made out of a sturdy enough metal that does not dirty easily (silver is bad, for instance) and made with good craftsmanship so that the stone, if there is one, does not fall off when the child is playing...or if the child stumbles or falls. It's also a good idea to get something that the child cannot, or will not, remove without your help, especially if there are other, younger children in the house. A necklace or bracelet with a clasp, or stud earrings with sturdy backings are best. Rings and other removable items like brooches or backless earrings (hook earrings) are bad ideas, because it is almost certain that the child will either remove and lose the present, or the present will fall off and be lost. Such gifts can also pose a choking risk, and above all the parent should be wary and careful buying jewelry for a child with siblings in the infant or toddler stage. The best gift is sturdy, made from good quality metal, and made with stones that are not just stuck to the outside, but actually threaded through or enclosed in metal so as to pose the least amount of breakage risk, and therefor not come off and choke another child or be lost forever. I hope this advice was somewhat helpful, and good luck choosing this special gift.

My daughter Diana was given a gold mezzuzah with a tiny diamond inlaid on the outside when she turned 10. It's a beautiful gift for a little girl, if the family is Jewish. I suppose that if the family is Christian a small cross with a diamond on it would be a good gift, and if the family does not want to give a gift with any religious symbolism, they can choose a little heart, bow or some other shape of pendant made of gold or platinum (silver tarnishes too easily and is a bad material for children's jewelry) with a diamond or a birthstone (or both if the child's birthstone is diamond) inlaid on it. It's a beautiful gift, very romantic and sweet for the child, and something she will treasure for years to come (and perhaps give to her own little girl when the time is right) ...

My son Charlie got his own diamond/platinum watch when he turned 10. It wasn't a super, super crazy one...but definitely something he treasured intensely for years and years, and even now that he is 25 he keeps it with him in a pocket or in a drawer all the time to remember us always and because it was really just a beautiful gift to have been given at a young but special age. His wife has just given birth to his first child, and he plans on giving little Jonathan the watch when he turns 10, too. A very special gift to a special boy from his wonderful, wonderful father.

I bought my little girl special diamond stud earrings when she turned 10. This really depends on whether your little girl has pierced ears, but my daughter Rose had been asking for them for 4 years...and finally we let her have them on her "double digit" birthday. She got those special diamond studs, and she wore them most of the time for the better part of 4 years. When she was 15 she started getting her own earrings and changing things around a lot, but until that time she loved those beautiful diamond studs, and she still has them and wears them to this day. Diamond studs, in my opinion, are really classic and timeless, and I think if you are going about trying to find a gift that your little girl will wear now and will keep and wear forever, a good quality pair of these is definitely the way to go. They are beautiful, glamorous for everyone, and they made my little Rose very happy when she was a small girl. If your little girl doesn't have pierced ears and you don't want her to have them, though, I am sure you can think of a fitting replacement.
