Hi all I have made all my bridesmaids jewellery (picture will be put in album asap) All my adult bridesmaids have a pearl necklace with a lapis lazuli pendant. The thing is my niece who will be nearing 13 by the time of the wedding is really irresponsible with her things. I know she is just a kid and she will grow out of it but i am really uncomfortable with giving her real pearls when she is not going to look after them (every piece of jewellery i have made her has been either lost, or broken within a week because she refuses to look after her things.) She has an attitude of oh well someone will buy me another one which i absolutely cant stand. I was thinking that i make her a necklace with glass faux pearls. Am I being mean? Its not just her, her younger sister will be just shy of 7 and has not had any jewellery before so I will be using acrylic pearls for her jewellery. The way im thinking is if they break i always have glass and acrylic pearls lying around to fix them but i ordered the pearls specially and it costs alot of money to get them. Would this be ok? or should i just give them the real pearls and hope for the best? (btw the jewellery is also their thankyou gifts)

I would definatly use faux ones , i mean at that age you don't understand what things cost and they don't mean alot , it will just be some necklace to her

That's lovely! Definitely not being mean at all! If she's going to break or lose it then use faux!
