Forget-me-not
Miscarriage and Infant Loss Memorial Pendant
Losing a baby is one of the most devastating events that can happen in a woman's life - and one of the least acknowledged. A mother who has lost a pregnancy or infant is a grieving mother, and her loss should be recognised.
I created this pendant to help grieving mothers remember their babies. To keep their memories close, and to help them heal from their loss.
It is the perfect choice for somebody who prefers a discreet reminder of their little one to wear all of the time, that will not generate questions that may be painful.
Each pendant can be customised with a charm in the colour of your choice. Some mothers prefer the stone of the intended due date, while others prefer the colour of the month of the baby's loss. Neither choice is wrong. If you are unsure, or are purchasing this as a gift, you may also choose a rose quartz bead that is said to be the stone of love and healing of emotional pain.
Each pendant will come strung on a sterling silver chain. The pendants contain a sterling silver forget-me-not flower, and feature a charm crafted of sterling silver and swarovski crystal or rose quartz (please see our birthstone colour chart). Each order will be shipped with an organza jewelry gift bag and a card that reads:
Forget me not
My little one
You have left us too soon
Though my body can no longer hold you
I hold you forever in my heart
As precious and beautiful as this flower caught in time
A mother's love does not forget

Forget-me-not
Miscarriage and Infant Loss Memorial Ring
Losing a baby is one of the most devastating events that can happen in a woman's life - and one of the least acknowledged. A mother who has lost a baby during pregnancy or infancy is a grieving mother, and her loss should be recognised.
I created this ring as a simple yet meaningful way to remember a much loved baby who has left our lives too soon. It is simple and sweet in design, and the perfect choice for a mother who wants to wear a remembrance of her little one without generating questions about its meaning. The centre features a teeny tiny birthstone in a colour that holds meaning for the wearer - some mothers prefer the stone of the intended due date, some prefer the stone of the conception month,while others prefer the colour of the month of the baby's loss. Neither choice is wrong.
This ring is completely handcrafted by Kimberly de Montbrun from start to finish using time honoured jewelry techniques. She carefully and painstakingly handsets each stone to ensure that it will be secure in its setting.
The band is 3 mm high and is available in custom sizing. We keep sterling sizes in stock. All other metals will be custom cast just for you and finished to your specifications.
Available in:
Sterling Silver $65.00 US
or
14K yellow gold $256.00 US
14K white gold $256.00 US
Please note: Because of the custom nature of each piece, and the intensity of the labour process, each ring is final sale. Please be sure of your ring size before ordering.
Each order will be shipped with an organza jewelry gift bag and a card that reads:
Forget me not
My little one
You have left us too soon
Though my body can no longer hold you
I hold you forever in my heart
As precious and beautiful as this flower caught in time
A mother's love does not forget

Forget-me-not Heart Pendant
for miscarriage, pregnancy, and baby loss
in sterling silver or 14k yellow or white gold
I create each of these sweet forget me not pieces entirely by hand, from beginning to end. Forget-me-nots have always been my favourite flower to remember my baby by - so tiny and sweet, and each one absolutely perfect... with a tiny circle in the middle of each flower, reminding us of the continuity of things - of life, loss and love. I hope that this little pendant will help grieving mothers and fathers the same way that I was helped after my loss - by acknowledging your loss as very real, and by keeping your baby's memory close to your heart, while providing you with something tangible to hold onto when you need comfort and strength...
This pendant is tiny, delicate, and discreet ( each heart measuring only11mm x 13mm, with each flower being life size) and can be made in your choice of precious metals. We do not keep gold pieces in stock, so please allow 14 business days for us to create your gold pieces specially for you.
Each pendant can be customised with a charm in the colour of your choice. Some mothers prefer the stone of the intended due date, while others prefer the colour of the month of the baby's loss. Neither choice is wrong. If you are unsure, or are purchasing this as a gift, you may also choose a rose quartz bead that is said to be the stone of love and healing of emotional pain.
Each pendant will come strung on a sterling silver box chain or 14k gold curb chain. Each order will be shipped with an organza jewelry gift bag and a poem card.
Available in:
Sterling Silver $32.00 US
or
14k Gold $170.00 US
14k White Gold $170.00 US
Add another birthstone bead dangle to your pendant to honour multiple pregnancies and infants who have been lost, or to mark special dates such as conception, loss and due date or birth date.

Forget-me-not
Miscarriage and Baby Loss Memorial Gemstone Necklace
Losing a baby is one of the most devastating events that can happen in a woman's life - and one of the least acknowledged. A mother who has lost a pregnancy or infant is a grieving mother, and her loss should be recognised.
I created this pendant to help grieving mothers remember their babies. To keep their memories close, and to help them heal from their loss.
It is the perfect choice for somebody who prefers a discreet reminder of their little one to wear all of the time, that will not generate questions that may be painful.
Dates become so very important to us after we have suffered a loss. What were once days to celebrate, are now laden with so much meaning. We anticipate them, and often fear the emotions that they will stir back up. We are afraid that nobody will remember...but we do. How could we forget?
Although our babies lives were too short, they have changed us in so many ways. We can honour our babies by remembering these special dates and the memories that they contain. Do you remember the date that you conceived, that surge of excitement when you saw the two lines on your test? The excitement and spark of love that started to grow? Do you remember working out the due date, that special day of our future hopes? These were all positive events, unique to this little soul that graced your life. And although we now grieve that loss, they are the special moments that make our babies unique.
We also mark the day that our little one was lost to us. Their passing should not be forgotten. It is a day of transformation both as our baby's soul took flight, and as our lives were forever changed.
Three swarovski crystals in the colours of the months of your baby's conception, loss and due date, and are included in this necklace to help honour these special dates. Accents, chain, charm and clasp are all sterling silver.
I have included healing gemstomes in this necklace to help to soothe and support us through these dates, and every day, as we walk through our grieving.

About the gemstones...
Rose Quartz is the stone of love and emotional healing. It's soothing energies gently help the wearer to heal from their loss, to ease their anger, hurt, pain and fears. It promotes forgiveness, and loving, bringing back an emotional balance. It is a kind and gentle stone, nurturing us through our times of need.
Blue lace agate is a protective stone, guarding us during our grief from negativity. It's gift is the endowment of a "bold heart". It helps us to develop and realise our inner peace. It is a stone of hope, cleansing, and harmony. Blue lace agate helps us to reach high spiritual places, connecting us to the more subtle energies found in the spiritual realm. It is also a kind and gentle stone, protecting us during our time of vulnerability and grief.
These stone were also chosen for their colours, baby blue and baby pink. Many of us do not know the sex of the babies we have lost, and I wanted something that would symbolise all of our losses. Baby pink and blue are also the colours of the pregnancy and Infant Loss awareness ribbon.
Each order will be shipped with an organza jewelry gift bag and a card that reads:

You have left us too soon

Baby Tears Memorial Necklace
A perfect tiny sterling teardrop hangs lightly from a swarovski crystal in a birthstone colour, suspended from an 18" sterling box chain.
This piece is symbolic of all of the tears cried, and not cried when we lose a little one. The tears of joy when we first found out we were expecting our longed for baby. The tears of sorrow and grief of our loss. The tiny baby tears that we will never get to wipe away. The tears that flow on the anniversaries that come- Mother's Day, the day our baby was due, the day they were conceived, the day that we lost them...The tears of compassion we share for other mothers who know too well our sadness.
Extra baby tear pendants may be added to this necklace to represent multiple losses, or special dates (such as conception, loss and due date months).
$9.99 US each additional pendant
(please note that this must be ordered with the above necklace and cannot be ordered alone)

optional poem card:
Baby Tears
We never heard your first tiny cry,
never wiped the teardrops from your eyes.
And though our hearts grieve, and we are bereft
we carry your teardrops, they are all we have left...
We carry them with us, tucked next to our heart
your memory with us always, we are never apart.
