Which ring is better for a toddler with sensitive skin?

The sterling silver ring. It is stated as 100% hypoallergenic with no nickel or brass. The Madi K is 10K gold alloyed with other metals and makes no hypoallergenic claim.

Is the Madi K stone real?

Yes. It is a genuine natural blue topaz, 3 mm round, about 0.11 ct. The silver ring uses a simulated cubic zirconia.

The 10K gold Madi K holds up better over years and resists tarnish. Sterling silver is durable but tarnishes and needs polishing.

Is the Madi K worth the extra cost?

If you want a keepsake with real gold and a natural gemstone, yes. For a young child who may lose it, the $24 silver ring is the safer spend.

What size should I pick?

The Madi K comes in size 3 only. The silver ring comes in sizes 2, 3, 4 and 5, so measure the child's finger and pick the closest.

Is the Madi K 10K or 14K gold?

The specs say 10K and the description says 14K. Confirm the purity with the store before ordering.
