Certain guidelines for gifting personalized baby jewelery will be beneficial both to the giver and the taker. A gift is a token of love expressing the love, affection, consideration and thoughtfulness of the giver. When the taker is a baby the thought behind the purchase becomes more important than the size of the purse of the giver.
Long ago on the first Christmas day three wise men from the East came with offerings of gold, frankincense and myrrh for the babe born in the manger. Gold represents of eternal solid values. Frankincense and myrrh are both kinds of incense or essence of goodness and faith whose aroma touches the feet of heaven.
This tradition with variations has remained with mankind. Gold is a favorite gift and for the infant it is fashioned into lockets, chains, armlets, earrings, nose rings and bangles. Heavy silver waistbands and anklets are other favorite gift items. mother and child necklace hang from most of these items and tinkle as the child throws about its arms and legs. There is however always the danger of the child swallowing a loose locket or yanking off a ring just for the joy of doing so.
Another way of making the jewel personal for the baby is to give a birthstone fixed on a gold or silver pendant. The faith in zodiac signs has not diminished with the march of time. These stones are aesthetically beautifully and if kept carefully can be handed over from one generation to another.
Each child is born with a number that can be calculated by a numerologist. Pythagoras started this school of counting the number that dominates the life of the individual from birth. This number is determined by the birth date and the name of the child with one representing the genetic tendencies and the other the environmental influences. A locket with an embossed number of the child will be a thoughtful unique baby gift that will bring blessings.
Jewels are essentially to adorn the body. This means that the child will soon outgrow the personalized baby gift. This can be countered by giving baby-to-bride jewels.
