No way!
At 5? Never ever!
I got my first "real" jewelry when I graduated 6th grade, as a gift for making it through and because my dad had been waiting since I was born to get his little girl something prettiful.
It was a birthstone ring with **tiny** diamonds on either side of the birthstone. I loved it and cherished it and took SUCH good care of it.
I think Paul and I will do the same, because moving on to middle school is a big thing, and the ring just seemed like SO much at the time, and in my heart, it still is, but it''s not like it was tons of money, but it truly made me feel like an adolescent. It was very nice and I will always remember the look on my dad and mom''s face when I opened it and giggled and jumped and acted like a loon!
I also don''t think the first "real" jewelry our daughter will get will be earrings; I lose them continuously and I am not willing to risk my child having that same trait!
