11 keepsake jewellery ideas that are perfect for celebrating the birth of your baby 

If you haven’t yet decided on the token you deserve for birthing your little miracle, here are some ideas on how to treat yourself

As motherhood changes everything—from priorities to self-care rituals to wardrobes—there is a lot of room to incorporate memories through little keepsakes. It is a time you want to remember fondly, and more importantly, celebrate the arrival of the newest member of your family. While the latest trends and new rules of maternity wear may not apply to jewellery, it can be a daily reminder of things that bring you joy. Necklaces engraved with initials, heart earrings that carry your sentiment and charm bracelets that make for perfect arm candy—there are ways more than one to mark the milestone. With all kinds of options in gold, diamonds, emeralds and custom pieces, scroll through our edit to find your perfect match.
