Dd15 asked me recently if we could get her a pair of earrings for sukkos.
She has some pieces of jewelry I've gotten her over the years, but not many. And she has some basic things she bought herself . She also has a few things still from her bas mitzva
How often is it normal to get new jewelry? Should she have a whole selection at this age or is it normal to have 1-2 nice things for shabbos/yomtov?
There's zero rule
My rule is price an whether it's used or kept in a box. If you're not wearing them often I won't be buying more especially expensive. I also am not buying ladylike pieces to a teen. Which doesn't mean only fake
My daughter got a pair of earrings and necklace for her bas mitzvah (real). For her 15th birthday, another pair of earrings and a necklace (real). When she gets a new shabbos dress, if it needs a fun necklace, we get one when we buy the dress.
My DD got some jewelry for bas mitzvah. She lost all of it by the time she was 16 so I told her I am not buying any more real jewelry if she can't take care of it.
I let her buy costume on my CC during her teen years. Now she's post-college and if she wants to buy something herself she can do whatever she wants.
There's no rule. I find that earrings get lost alot (especially in camp!) and I've gotten my teen a few cheap pairs on Shein. She has nicer ones for home. But definitely not a whole array of earrings. She has a beautiful (real) ring she got for her Bas Mitzvah.
I have a preteen. She has very little real in terms of necklaces. But she can only wear real silver or gold earrings or her ears get very infected. She has few pairs. If I find her inexpensive (under $20) silver, I will buy her here and there throughout the year. She doesn't have a ton of pairs. Maybe 6 or 7 and she rotates them.
