I’m not a fan of the phrase “push present” but I do love the concept of marking a birth (or any milestone) with something personalized that can be passed down one day. For me jewelry has always held that significance, there’s something about putting on a ring or necklace that my mom, grandmother or great-grandmother once wore that feels beyond sacred—not to mention the sense that they’re always with me. Jewelry to me has always been one of the most fun ways to define your own personal style especially when those pieces define heritage, family or memories.
When Elin was born I picked out a Jennifer Fisher Burnished Cuff with her name written on it in diamonds. It was something I had coveted for years and felt like it could be an heirloom of sorts that I would one day pass down to her. I literally wear it everyday and can easily say it’s the most treasured piece in my collection. And guess who loves to put it on from time to time… which makes me so so happy. I know one day she’ll get to wear it and feel me with her everyday.
In the last nine months it has dawned on me that I need to find something equally as special for baby girl part deux. There are a few things I have my eye on and wanted to share, the only hold up on making a decision? A name! But that’s a whole different topic, maybe a separate post?
