Baby name necklace

I really wanted to get something personalized after we found out what we were having since we had our name picked already. I had a secret savings stash I had been building because I knew I wanted to get something after the ultra sound.

I found these gorgeous white gold pave initial necklaces on Nordstrom.com (of course...my fave store). The designer is Roberto Coin. I got a 'B' for Brayden.


After I saw these I looked up the designer and learned a cool back story, all his pieces have a hidden ruby in the back of them. Rubies have been long believed to symbolize health, happiness, long life and in old times were thought to promote fertility. Warriors would also wear them for protection and strength. I thought this was pretty cool.

I love love it!! I wear it everyday in anticipation of meeting my little guy!!

I loveee Roberto Coin! At my sister's wedding a few weeks ago my other sis and I did a toast to them all about the Coin story. She was gifted some MEGA Robert Coin diamond hoops from her fiance the night before the wedding. It was SO sweet and his ruby story was the perfect tie in to their new marriage. Excellent choice, mamma!

I have been eyeing a specific initial necklace for myself when our babykins arrives! Can't wait to share it later!
