Push Presents for New Moms

There is a good reason that giving birth is called "labor" - it's a lot of work! We've been getting a number of orders lately from new dads and dads to be for push presents. A little something special to give to mom after all the work she's gone through with pregnancy, labor and delivery.

I always love getting orders for special events like a birth. It's really fulfilling to know that not only do we have the chance to create a beautiful custom necklace, but that it will always be tied to something as amazing as bringing a new life into this world.

Ordering By Fax

We understand that not everyone is comfortable ordering online, so we are now happy to also accept orders by fax. You can download our order form, and fax it in. If you want we can even add up your total and send it back to you for final approval before starting on your piece. Ordering by fax may also be helpful if you want to create a necklace with a unique combination of pieces or a completely custom design.

Design Your Own Necklace

One of the things I really enjoy about my job is letting customers have a part in the design process. Yesterday I chatted with a delightful lady who just had her first grandchild, and wanted to celebrate with a special necklace that included charms representing everyone in her family (herself, her husband, children, son in law, granddaughter, father, even her puppies!). We discussed the different options and ultimately she decided what combination to put together, creating not only a one of a kind personalized necklace, but one that she played a part in designing. What a great way to celebrate becoming a grandmother!

Here's an example of how the design process works. I often recommend selecting a "base" pendant (a square, round, rectangle, heart or star make great choices) then adding on to it to complete the design. Tiny Tags are very popular, but really you can mix and match any of our charms to make the perfect necklace.
