Having a child is a precious time in a woman’s life, and it should be celebrated! Fine jewelry is a beautiful way for a new mom to always remember this special moment. Here are some of my top gift recommendations that make wonderful “push presents.”
What is a Push Present
A push present is a gift that traditionally the father would give the mother on the day of her delivery, hence the name “push” present, which symbolizes his gratitude to her for bringing their child into the world and deepens their parental bond. Jewelry, like for most momentous occasions, is typically a gift for such an event. Not only can she wear it every day, but she can hand it down to future generations. It’s a keepsake and an heirloom.
When it comes to the push present, there are no rules or guidelines. Some would say that makes it hard. I say, choosing such a gift is fun and special because there is not a wrong way to do it. Some choose jewelry they can engrave with the name or initials of the new baby, while others choose a birthstone piece. You can also start a charm bracelet or stackable ring collection. And when nothing else seems to be the perfect baby-themed gift, some fathers will just select an item they know the mother would love in general!
Here are some great ideas and why they would be the perfect gift for a push present:
Stackable Rings

Stackable rings are the perfect gift for a new mother. There are so many styles available, allowing you to find one that is unique to her. You can go for a simple gold band or a statement piece. As her family grows, so can her stackable ring collection! I recommend choosing a style that reflects the child’s birthstone or a special color. This is a great way to gift something fashion-forward that also represents her family.
Personalized Jewelry

Create a special piece that represents her family and the exciting addition of a new baby! Shane Co.’s personalized jewelry has pendants and rings in an array of designs that you can customize yourself. Whether you choose a classic blue sapphire for a boy, a pink sapphire for a girl or the baby’s birthstone, we have plenty of options to choose from. There are also options that allow you to add stones for each member of your family.
Mother & Child Pendant

A gorgeous Mother & Child pendant is a sentimental push present, as it represents the bond between a mother and her baby. The pendants come in several beautiful designs, and we have engravable choices as well. You can make her pendant extra special by engraving the date of her child’s birth.
