Oh, So Petite Key Pendants

With Mother’s Day sneaking up on us we wanted to add several new pieces to our line that speak particularly to Mothers.

The first are these “oh, so, petite” key pendants. Around our studio, we affectionately call them the “baby pendants” -  because they’re small, not because they’re for babies.   The pendants are only 24mm long (about an inch) and the fob is 10mm wide.

The fob at the top of the key is heart-shaped and holds either a single initial in elegant French Script or a single heart-shaped birthstone.

Each piece is available in your choice of sterling silver, 10k yellow or white gold, 14k and 18k yellow, white and rose gold, and palladium.

The keys are beautiful worn alone, but even more special when worn in multiples. Mix and match initials and birthstones and different metals to create extra visual impact. They can be worn directly on a chain or from our Heart Charm for extra flair.

A wonderful way for a mother to keep all of her children close and a piece that can grow as her family grows.

Chinese Symbol Jewelry Celebrates Chinese Adoptions

We’ve been so tickled to discover our Chinese Symbol jewelry has become quite popular with parents of adopted children from China. It’s really been a treat for us to be a part of something so special. We’ve heard such heartwarming stories and shared in the joy of celebrating these very special adoptions.

Our Chinese Symbol Name Rings and Chinese Symbol Name Pendants have been the most popular choices. Often they’re a gift from the new dad to the new mom with the piece holding either the child’s Chinese name or the English name translated into Chinese symbols.

“Mother,” “Mother ‘n Son” and “Mother ‘n Daughter” translations have also been chosen by quite a few new moms and dads. And we’re always open to working on a custom translation or with symbols you provide us.

A Gift of Family For Grandmothers

Looking for a creative gift for that special grandmother? Consider a charm bracelet with a personalized charm for each grandchild or family member.

Each charm can be personalized with the name, birthstone, or monogram of each family member. This makes a truly one-of-a-kind gift that any grandmother would treasure. She’ll have her family with her always.

We made one of these family bracelets recently for several siblings to give to their grandmother. It held eight name charms, one  for each grandchild, placed on the bracelet in birth order.

Their grandmother liked it so much that they haven’t seen it off her hand since.

Mother’s Jewelry That Can Grow With Your Family

Mother’s jewelry is consistently one of the most popular types of  jewelry.  Celebrating your children with jewelry personalized with their names, birth dates and birthstones never goes out of style.  One particular style that has been growing in popularity is jewelry that can be added on to as the family grows.

There are two main types of this expanding family jewelry:

1. Individual pieces worn together such as stackable name, birth date or birthstone rings and individual name pendants worn on a single chain.
2. An individual piece that can be added to such as a birthstone pendant or ring that can have additional birthstones added.

Expandability is something that has to be designed into a piece of jewelry from the beginning. It can’t be an afterthought.

Below are some examples of “expandable” jewelry that we offer at Sorella Jewelry.
