How you can thank her for the baby without words…:

Following the most recent addition to the British Royal Family, we are all of course eager to know what William will give Kate as a present to celebrate the birth of their son. In England, and throughout Europe, no long-standing tradition of this sort exists as such. Consequently, making a lovely gesture for your other half can comprise giving almost anything to celebrate a newborn baby, from flowers to a round the world trip. Nevertheless, almost any woman would agree that the most memorable gift will always be jewellery.

In England, and throughout Europe, no long-standing tradition of this sort exists as such. Consequently, making a lovely gesture for your other half can comprise giving almost anything to celebrate a newborn baby, from flowers to a round the world trip. Nevertheless, almost any woman would agree that the most memorable gift will always be jewellery.

This is, incidentally, precisely what every American woman has expected to receive after giving birth for the past decade. This so-called ‘push gift’, was assumed by European culture and became successfully instilled in it about five years ago. Wearing a jewel as a sign of thanks for the new life they’ve been blessed with is what the majority of women want to do. To save men the agony of trying to come up with a surprise, I have compiled a list of some attractive pieces for a similarly attractive price of less than £3,000.

Georg Jensen

Just as true love remains impervious to time itself, so the design of this pendant by Georg Jensen will never go out of fashion. Giving a present like this is an act of love which needs no words. As a symbol of purity, the diamond used in this design can symbolise the arrival of a pure, innocent child.

TOUS

TOUS offers a variety of little attractive pendants to celebrate such an occasion. These are shaped in the form of a little girl or a little boy and made from white gold with diamonds or yellow gold. When we see cute children we smile, so even after only glancing at one of these dear little ornaments a mass of positive emotions is bound to take hold of your better half.

Van Cleef&Arpels

Continuing the theme of hearts, we now turn our attention to the intricate work of Van Cleef & Arpels’ bracelet made from pink gold with a scarlet heart cut from carnelian stone. A gift of this kind would be tenderness itself. It symbolises precisely the tenderness one feels towards a newborn child and a young mother.

Chaumet

As well as tenderness, young parents experience a wealth of other warm feelings. Chaumet brings these together in its “Liens” collection. This collection is founded on the feelings which those who are close to one another share, whether its love, friendship, or familial relationships. It includes rings, bracelets, pendants, and earrings made from white, yellow, and pink gold with diamond insets. You will always be spoiled for choice at Chaumet.

Cartier

Another memorable collection is one by Cartier called “Love”, created in the 70s in New York as a symbol of the love experienced by those who had utterly fallen for each other. Feelings like that last forever; they are as everlasting as the three ring bands hanging from the chains of these pieces.

Annoushka

Jewellers offer a huge number of variations of celebration rings. For example, at Annoushka, you can find simple and elegant band rings of white and brown diamonds, as well as pink and blue sapphires. Either of these might be appropriate: the pink for a girl, the blue for a boy.

Lucie Campbell

Piaget

The blossoming rose is symbol of both love and joy, sentiments which are also shared by young parents. This makes a gift of Piaget earrings all the more meaningful as a sign of gratitude for your child.

The main things to give a young mother are care and attention, so whatever you choose as a gift, give her your love, care, and affection. That way, your family will live in love and harmony for many years to come.
