Flower girl gift - Tiffany's?
I was considering getting my soon to be niece, who is going to be our flower girl something from Tiffany's. She's only going to be almost 3 by the time we're married which is very young still. I just thought it be nice to get her something that she could have for when she's older. What would be an acceptable gift from Tiffany's for someone so young?

Diamond earrings.
Sure enough, she ran down the aisle (which was a pretty good distance) she received applause, ran to my H, handed him the box, and then went back to my sister and clearly said "lollipop"
Keep it simple. Save the Tiffanys for milestone in HER life, not yours.
Look, buy her what you want. But she's 3. She's not going to have fond memories of being your flower girl and receiving those Tiffany earrings. She's not going to remember anything about this. It's not going to be a crazy, sentimental item for her, cause she isn't going to remember being your flower girl. I have jewelry from when I was a kid, a little cross with my birthstone, some mickey mouse earrings. They were probably given to me when I was like, 5. I don't remember anything about them, other then them sitting my Mom's jewelry box and not being able to wear them. I have no sentimental attachment to them. They mean nothing.
You know what means something to me, the ring my Grandma on my mom's side gave me in high school, because as a little girl I said it was very pretty. The two necklaces I received after my Grandma on my dad's side passed from her collection (college age). Those are the pieces of jewelry I have tangible memories and sentimental attachment too.
My ring bearer was three. I got her toys. She plays with them, and she likes them. She was extremely excited to open her Melissa and Doug birthday cake play set. If you want to give her something more sentimental, I second the recommendation of a jewelry box. You can get her one nicer then the 15 dollar dancing ballerina ones. You can even put jewelry in there, but I'd recommend sticking with something cute from Claires, and saving Tiffany for when she graduates high school, college, first job, etc. Because she'll understand and appreciate, and remember it better then.
Or you could start a savings account/college fund for her.
This sounds like the brain-child of her mother, who is angling for overpriced earrings for her child. . . perhaps so she can borrow them?
Maybe FG's mother or grandfather can be the one to go shopping at Tiffany's for her?
OP, if you really want to buy your FG earrings, I'd suggest something more reasonable like rhinestone or CZ studs along with a toy that she will actually enjoy.

I guess it's not weird to me to get diamond earrings as a gift when I was younger. As this seemed pretty common. And by no means am I rich, and trying to show off just to put that out there. I didn't realize the cheapest earrings were over $500, FI said he looked and they we're under $200... don't know what he's looking at. FI is still dead set on earrings but i'm going to look into other options as well. I do like the jewelry box idea that was mentioned and maybe a cheaper pair of earrings if he's still insistent.
