Umbilical Cord Jewelry: A Meaningful Way to Preserve Your Baby’s First Connection

Pregnancy, birth and those first precious moments with your baby pass by in the blink of an eye. One of the most unique and meaningful and underrated keepsakes is umbilical cord jewelry.

The umbilical cord represents your baby’s very first connection to you. It provided nourishment, protection and life throughout pregnancy. Preserving a small portion of the dried umbilical cord in custom jewelry creates a beautiful reminder of the bond that will always exist between mother and child.

What Is Umbilical Cord Jewelry?

Umbilical cord jewelry is handcrafted using a small, dried piece of your baby’s umbilical cord stump. The preserved cord is carefully incorporated into a custom stone placed within a ring, necklace, earrings or bracelet.

Combining Umbilical Cord with Breastmilk

One of the most popular combinations is umbilical cord and breastmilk jewelry. Together, these elements represent two of the most significant connections between mother and baby.

Combining Umbilical Cord with Cremation Ashes

For families who have experienced loss, umbilical cord jewelry can be combined with cremation ashes to create a memorial keepsake.

The ashes can be blended subtly into the design or featured prominently depending on the desired look.

Include Pieces of a Baby Blanket, Onesies or Hospital hat.

The possibilities are endless, allowing you to create a keepsake that tells your family’s unique story.
