Jewellery on a baby

I guess this is down to personnal choice but what do you think about a baby wearing jewellery.

My daughter will be 1 next week and my Gran has bought her a very simple gold bracelet. I am not really sure what I think but my husband is horrified at it and is very against her wearing it. He says he thinks it looks cheap and tacky to put any jewellery on a baby. I agree with him to a point but a little bit of me thinks the braclet is harmless and looks quite pretty on her.

I guess the simple solution is for me to only put it on her when she is in the company of my Gran but it got me thinking about what people think of seeing jewellery on a baby.

I think the problem with chava (and its probably a sep issue to the original subject of the thread) is that it has social/class overtones...at least round here in the NEast. Best left alone I think - have to agree with Dinosaur & lydialemon.

The Crusty to end Crusties was that Newbury by-pass tree protester who ended up on HIGNFY, wasn't it? (Have forgotten his name but he was very crusty indeed).
