There is hardly a better way to commemorate motherhood than with a customized and hand stamped mommy necklace. Motherhood is a miracle, and carefully choosing a beautiful necklace as a gift to celebrate motherhood can let the mother in your life feel wonderful, beautiful, and appreciated for many years. If you have never shopped for a customized necklace before, the options can be overwhelming. We’ve created this guide to help you select a necklace that will prove to be an unforgettable gift for that special mother you hope to celebrate.
To begin your shopping process, you’ll want to consider what sort of message, if any at all, you will want on your hand stamped mommy necklace. Knowing the message that will be stamped on will affect much about the final design of your necklace. If you only plan on stamping on a symbol, such as a heart or something similar, this process will be a bit quicker, but, in many cases, having a written message can be very impactful. Make sure that your message is as compact as possible while still delivering the desired message. Keep in mind that the more words you have in your message, the smaller the text will have to be when it is finally stamped. You want to keep your message readable, so don’t overdo it! This is especially important if you plan to combine a written message with a symbol. For example, a popular design is a stamped message of the name of a child next to a miniature imprint of that child’s footprint. In this design, there might not be enough room for much more than the name without making it difficult to read or cramped in appearance.
Once you’ve determined your desired message, you should start to think about the actual design of the necklace. Do you want something slim, simple, and minimalistic? If so, choose a design that focuses on a smaller pendant piece. As you can see, a smaller pendant might not be possible or ideal if you have a larger message to stamp, so that first step is quite important. Other considerations to take while choosing a design are things such as gems, coloration, and form. If you are adding gems to your hand stamped mommy necklace, choose relevant gems like birthstones. When thinking about coloration, make sure that your chain and your pendant match and fit well with the recipient mother’s style. The same goes for form. Try to avoid choosing a design with a form that doesn’t match the recipient’s style. For example, a large, colorful pendant might not be a good match for someone who prefers more modest dress.
Finally, you’ll want to carefully consider which metal you’d like your hand stamped mommy necklace to be made out of. While precious metals can cost more, they also come with a number of added benefits. First and foremost, they last. Precious metals have earned their standing in our culture because of the fantastic ways in which they keep their shine and luster. Additionally, they look the most attractive. Gold and silver, for example, are immediately recognizable and mesh well with many pendant options and gems. Finally, precious metals, especially gold and platinum, are very friendly to the skin. This is an especially important factor for new mothers, whose skin is likely to be extra sensitive in the months following their new child.
Once you’ve chosen a metal, you’re ready to go forward with your design!
