Akshaya Tritiya, a highly auspicious day in Hinduism, is just around the corner. Traditionally, it’s a day associated with new beginnings, prosperity, and acquiring precious metals like gold. While the sentiment behind gifting gold jewellery on Akshaya Tritiya holds weight, it can sometimes feel out of reach for those on a budget, especially when it comes to buying for children.
But worry not! There are plenty of beautiful and meaningful jewellery options for kids on Akshaya Tritiya that won’t break the bank. Here’s a guide to budget-friendly jewellery options that will make your little ones smile:
Classic and Timeless Designs
- Delicate Gold Pendants: A cute gold pendant is a timeless piece that children of all ages can wear. Worn on a dainty gold chain, these pendants remain cherished keepsakes throughout the child’s life. Pieces like the Baby Elephant Kids’ Gold Pendant or the Busy Bee Kids’ Gold Pendant are perfect examples. These pendants are a great way to introduce your child to the concept of wearing gold jewellery and can be easily layered with other pieces as they grow older.
- Stud Earrings: Stud earrings are another classic option for kids. There is a wide variety of gold stud earrings in various sizes and designs, from simple and elegant to playful and colourful. Consider designs like the Lil Butterflies Kids’ Gold Earrings or with gemstones like the Little Hearts Kids’ Pearl Earrings that add a touch of lustre without a hefty price tag.
- Bracelets: Lightweight bracelets are a popular choice for children in India as they are perfect for little wrists. The Shell Kids’ Gemstone Bracelet is made of 14kt rose gold and gives the little wrists a special glow.
- Rings: You would be mistaken if you think rings are for adults only. Adjustable rings like the Flower Kids Ring and the Unicorn Kids Ring are made for your little ones, as they can fit any size and can be worn for several years.

Modern and Playful Pieces
- Charm Bracelets: Charm bracelets can be a fun and trendy option for kids. They come in different themes, such as animals, hobbies, or initials. You can even personalise the bracelet by adding charms that reflect your child’s interests. These pieces can also be personalised with a name or initials, as in the Bow Personalised Kids’ Gold Bracelet. It is a gift that can grow with your child as you add new charms over the years.
- Nature-Themed Jewellery: Kids love birds, flowers, and animals, so why not gift them jewellery with a Nature theme? Buy your child the Butterfly Swarm Kids’ Gold Bracelet or the Baby Fishy Kids’ Diamond Bracelet. These playful pieces are sure to put a smile on your child’s face.
- Colourful Gemstone Jewellery: While diamonds might be out of your budget, there are plenty of other colourful gemstones that are both beautiful and affordable. Akshaya Tritiya is an ideal time to buy your child the Pretty Floret Kids’ Gemstone Necklace or the Rainbow Butterfly Stud Earrings. These pieces and the Tiara Kids’ Gemstone Bracelet add a dash of colour to any outfit and are a great way to introduce your child to the world of gemstones.
Beyond Gold: Exploring Alternatives
While Akshaya Tritiya is traditionally associated with gold, there are other beautiful and budget-friendly jewellery options to consider.
Silver Jewellery: Silver is a beautiful and even more affordable alternative to gold. Silver jewellery can be just as elegant and meaningful as gold, and it’s an excellent option for children with sensitive skin. The Minimalistic Silver Drop Earrings with Infinity Motif and cubic zircons can be pretty alluring to kids, and so will the Oxidised Silver Hoop Earrings with enamel, making them a colourful addition to the Akshaya Tritiya celebrations.
Making it Special: Presentation and Tradition
Remember, it’s not just about the jewellery itself; it’s about the presentation and the tradition behind it. Often, children like unwrapping as much as the gift itself! Here are some tips to make your Akshaya Tritiya gift extra special for your child:
- Wrap it Up Pretty: Take the time to wrap the jewellery in a colourful gift box or bag. A short note expressing your love and well wishes will make the gift more meaningful.
- Involve Your Child: If your child is old enough, take them to the website or a physical store to choose their own piece of jewellery. It will give them a sense of ownership and make them even more excited about their gift.
- Tell a Story: Akshaya Tritiya has a rich history and mythology behind it. Take some time to tell your child about the day’s significance and why gifting jewellery is a tradition. It will help them connect with the cultural importance of the gift.
The Most Important Gift: Your Love
Ultimately, the most important gift you can give your child on Akshaya Tritiya is your love and support.
