Makes perfect sense, that sounds lovely and so thoughtful

I have just ordered my silver star shaped pendant....my son had his fingerprint taken to go on the back. I eventually decided against putting the due date of the baby I lost on it as I don't want to have to explain this to anyone if they ever ask to see my son's fingerprint on the back. So I spoke it over with the jeweller and she says she's going to put a small heart on the reverse, something that only my husband and I will know the significance of. I pick it up in a couple of weeks.

So when I ordered from her, I asked for something custom. It's a simple silver open heart charm with a blue lucite forget me not flower. I liked some of the other necklaces, but didn't want the larger things or the things that had names or the words "Forever in Our Hearts" on them because I didn't want jewelry that would prompt people to ask me about it. I just wanted something that would be mine alone. Just thought I'd throw that out there, because I understand where you're coming from. Anyway, I hope you find just the right thing for you.

Here is the link if anyone else is interested: http://www.etsy.com/shop/bugaboojewelry?ref=seller_info

I ORDERED from her and she is AWESOME + SOME!!! I have ordered so much from her and she ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree, I just ordered a locket from here, so lovely!

Thanks for the link.

I had to go with something very discreet as my family doesn't know of my miscarriage. I chose the November birthstone (Citrine) in a heart shaped pendant. I conceived in Early November, 2011 and began bleeding November 30th. This stone represents both my angel's conception and the passing.

That's beautiful

Our angels share the same birth month

How precious

How far along were you & when did you lose yours? If you don't mind me asking.

I guesstimate I was around 5 wks 4 d, sometimes I think it was more because of all the tissue and bits, but sometimes I think maybe it was less... she was a surprise

so I'll never really know. She was born into Heaven on November 22, 2009
