Doll jewelry is sized for the doll. Match the doll size and age label.

Updated . Edited by: Ilyass Ben Hakim.

Where to buy

Toy stores sell boxed accessory sets. Craft sellers make pieces for 18 inch, fashion and jointed dolls.

Professional insight

Doll accessory sellers check scale and neck size first. Clasp type comes next.

  • Magnetic or hook clasps suit small hands.
  • Doll ears may not have holes for earrings.
  • Stick-on earrings avoid piercing a vinyl head.
  • Real metal can stain light vinyl over time.

Jewelry for one scale rarely fits another. Measure the doll's neck and wrist if unsure.

Safe use

  • Check beads and charms are firmly attached.
  • Throw out pieces with broken elastic.
  • Store sets in a closed box.
  • Do not let children wear doll necklaces.

Storage

  • Use a small compartment box or pill organizer.
  • Keep metal pieces dry to stop tarnish.
  • Remove jewelry before storing the doll long term.
