The birth of a little jewel leaves its mark on every mother and father, especially if it is their first time. I have to tell you that I have been lucky enough to bring 3 jewels into this world, and for me, the most important thing has always been to pass on all the love I feel for them to them. Let me tell you a secret: jewels have always accompanied me in the most important moments of my life and this was not going to be an exception. Do you want to give a gift to your baby or to a baby close to you who matters a lot to you and you don't know if this would be the perfect one?

What jewels mean for babies

There is no greater gratitude than giving thanks for a newborn full of love and innocence. They arrive in the world as a gift. They live inside us, the mothers, for a little over nine months, and that is not something we overlook. It marks us. The most important moments of our lives are always accompanied by a jewel, which is why they are so special. Think about it: the ID bracelet from when you were a baby, your communion jewelry, the one your mother or grandmother gave you when you were barely beginning to understand what the menstrual cycle is, the engagement ring, the wedding ring... even the signet ring that has been in your family for several generations. Jewelry has always been very important in all cultures. They mark moments and remind us of emotions. 

Finding your first ID bracelet or your first pin with your name engraved in your jewelry box reminds you that, even when you were not aware of what was happening in your life, your parents, grandparents, or uncles and aunts (even the "fake" ones) already loved you. It was unconditional love, one that cannot be erased. It reminds you that, no matter what happens, they will be there for you. Yes, the baby may not be able to appreciate it at the time they receive it, but that jewel already makes them unique and special, loved by those closest to them. The emotional weight is immense. When those babies grow up, they feel grateful to be able to have the little jewel that accompanied them when they were still discovering the world. When they learned to walk, for their first tooth, or when they were starting to say their first words. The jewel they were given was there for them, making the people who loved (and love) them most in the world smile.

Why give jewelry to babies

"Every jewel tells a story of my life" - Erin Wasson

You may still want to confirm that their first jewel is really the gift you want to give them, so I have gathered some of the reasons why I believe it is a very special gift. Both for you and for them. Here they are.

1. A special memento

A piece of jewelry can hold great sentimental value towards something specific or towards the people who gave it to them. That baby will grow up (even if we sometimes don't want them to) and will appreciate the wonderful gesture you made for them.

2. Unconditional love

Tell them you love them even before they are aware of it. Giving them their first piece of jewelry is a gesture of unconditional love from the day they are born. Make them remember that for you, they were already important from the first time you held them in your arms.

3. It makes them unique from birth

That baby is unique and special. You know it and you would love for the rest of the world to appreciate it too. A beautiful way to show it is by giving them their first piece of jewelry, the one they will always have with them.

What jewelry you can give a baby

Now that you are absolutely sure (this is the perfect gift!), you are surely wondering which piece of jewelry is best for the occasion. I don't want you to lack even a hint of information, so I would like to tell you which ones are the most common so you can choose calmly.

Earrings

These diamond-shaped earrings will remind them from the first moment that every woman carries a jewel inside. Furthermore, they are made with a lot of love (and sustainable materials). Every baby deserves to look this good, while being respectful of the planet that gives us so much. I want these for my special baby

Pins

Returning to tradition never goes out of style, especially in the sustainable world. Pamper your baby with a pin with their name engraved on it. This time, instead of a medal, we wanted to replace it with that diamond that every woman carries inside from the moment she is born. I love this idea

Bracelets

You want to give that baby or girl something wonderful, and all they want is to feel grown up and important. Blessed innocence; I wish I could go back to that time of games and zero worries! Bracelets are a way to grant them that wish without them stopping playing and having a good time. What do you think of this gift?

ID bracelets

ID bracelets are already a popular tradition in Spain, and you almost have to raffle off the person who is going to give this gift to the baby. It has very important value for the baby, the family, and the person giving it, because we only have one first ID bracelet with our name and, usually, date of birth. Are you going to be that important person who gives it to them? I want to be that person

Pendant for mom

And, if the little gift for the baby seemed like too little, at Luz de Nehca we also have several jewels for mom. The Footprint pendant, in particular, is a wonder that every mother wants to wear. It is an onyx stone with the baby's footprint engraved on it. We wanted to give it prominence because we believe that the smallest footprints are the ones that leave the deepest mark on us. What do you think? I love it, I want it!

Do you already have your gift?

Hearing or reading our name makes our eyes sparkle and, as they say, it is the word we like to hear most. Treat your little one to a piece of jewelry that makes her feel that way. Show her what it means to feel unique and responsible for her first piece of jewelry. Mine has already told me that she doesn't plan to take her little bracelet to the park because she wants to take care of it. What pride! Give her moments that she will never forget (neither will they, nor will you for giving her such a great gift). At Luz de Nehca, we like to say that all women carry a diamond inside that is born with us when we enter this wonderful planet. That is why we like to reflect that value in each of our designs, both in the baby collection and in the women's collection. If you also want to be a #MujerNehca, I invite you to be part of our community by subscribing to the newsletter. I want to thank you for your time, and to you, who will soon be one of us, by giving you discounts and telling you about the news before anyone else. We look forward to seeing you there!
