For years, couples have found all sorts of ways to celebrate the addition of a new family member. No matter if it is your first child, or fourth, it is an exciting time for everyone involved. In recent years, the popularity of push present jewelry for new moms has really increased both among celebrities and regular individuals. 

Push presents are gifts that are given as a way to really celebrate and show gratitude to the woman who is going through the pregnancy and birthing process. You can choose gemstones, diamonds, or both depending on the style of the mother. No matter what you choose, it is a special way to celebrate a memorable experience and this guide can help you pick the right jewelry gift for a new mom.

When Should I Give a Push Gift to a New Mom?

When to give the present is completely up to you. Some people like to give it beforehand if they want the mother to wear it, otherwise, you can wait a few days after all of the commotion has settled down. The most important thing is to just make sure you order the gift with plenty of time; if the push present incorporates engraving or particular birthstones, those can take extra time and you always want to be prepared just in case the baby arrives ahead of schedule! 

So, here are the best push gifts for new moms in 2021. 

Push Present Ideas: Gemstone Jewelry

One of the most popular push presents to give is a diamond band. This style takes it up a notch by incorporating the child's birthstone into the mix. The alternating gemstone and diamond band makes this a subtle way to add a birthstone to a wedding set, or as a stacking ring. You can choose from a variety of birthstones, qualities, and metal colors to completely personalize the look.

Bar necklaces have been a great way to add a classic personal touch to a wardrobe because of their engraving properties. You can choose to engrave a variety of options like the child's birthdate, a name, or anything else to commemorate the new baby. There also is plenty of space to add more than one name so you can add engravings as each child is born!

These sweet initial pendants by Ritani are too cute to not consider when looking for a push present. What we really like about this style is the simplistic design. The mainly metal initial is very durable but you still get a bit of bling with the bezel set diamond. In addition, each initial is on a moveable bail so you can add more initials to the necklace for other kids! 

If you are looking for more bling, though, and are fine with just one initial on the necklace, you can also take a look at this initial diamond pendant here from Angara.

Conclusion

Picking the right push gift for a new mom can seem daunting, but, they are a thoughtful way to celebrate the journey that a new mother has been on. Companies are incorporating birthstones into more and more fashion designs like stacking rings that make them easy to wear alongside a wedding set or stacked with gemstone rings. If you aren't crazy about color, you can opt for a diamond pendant or incorporate it into a mama or initial necklace. No matter what you choose, though, you can be sure that the piece will be cherished forever.
