Gifts for New Mums

A meaningful gift for a new mum celebrates the little person who has just arrived. Our initial and birthstone necklaces, zodiac and birthstone necklaces and initial and zodiac necklaces let her wear her baby's initial, birth month or star sign close to her heart, every day.

Each necklace pairs two dainty pendants on one chain, in 925 sterling silver or 9k gold plated sterling silver, with natural gemstones from January garnet to December tanzanite. It's a thoughtful push present, baby shower gift, or keepsake for her first Christmas or first Mother's Day as a mum.

Choosing Baby's Initial, Birthstone or Star Sign

Initial and birthstone necklace: baby's first initial paired with the gemstone for their birth month. A natural choice once the name and birthday are known.

Zodiac and birthstone necklace: baby's star sign paired with their birthstone. Each sign spans two months, so choose the sign and the stone for the month baby was born, such as a Capricorn baby born in January with garnet.

Gifts for New Mums FAQs

What is a push present?

A push present is a gift for a new mum to mark the birth of her baby, often given by her partner. Jewellery with the baby's initial, birthstone or star sign is a popular choice because she can wear it every day.

What is a meaningful gift for a new mum?

A necklace that carries her baby's initial, birthstone or zodiac sign is personal without needing custom engraving. Choose a pairing that tells her baby's story, from their name to the month they were born.

Which birthstone should I choose?

Choose the birthstone for the month baby was born. Our range covers every month, from January garnet to December tanzanite.

What if the baby hasn't arrived yet?

If the name is chosen, an initial necklace is ready to go. For a birthstone or star sign, it's best to order once baby arrives so the month and sign are right.

Can she wear one for each child?

Yes. Many mums layer two necklaces, one for each child. Pairing a 16 inch and an 18 inch chain helps the pendants sit at different heights.

What sizes are the pendants and chains?

Birthstones are approximately 7 x 5 mm and zodiac bars approximately 7 x 16 mm. Necklaces come on a 16 or 18 inch chain, each with a 2 inch extender.

What metals are available?

925 sterling silver or 9k gold plated sterling silver, each with a protective e-coat. Each product page lists the exact options.

Are the gemstones natural?

Yes. Each stone is natural, so colour and inclusions vary slightly from piece to piece.

How do I care for her necklace?

Remove before swimming or showering, avoid perfumes and harsh chemicals, and wipe gently with a soft cloth.

Can my gift be boxed separately?

Yes. If you'd like any of your Indie and Harper pieces boxed separately for gifting, just let us know in the notes section of your cart.

Can she exchange her gift?
