Châtelaine designs from David Yurman
What is a push present?
The birth of a child is a momentous occasion for any couple and what better way to mark the start of this exciting new adventure than with a ‘push present’. This gift, traditionally from a husband to a wife, is a wonderful way to say thank you for creating a new life and for the shared parenting to come.
Celebrity push presents
While pregnant with their son, Saint, Kim Kardashian-West hinted that she’d love a present when he arrived. "I like the idea of a push present,” she wrote on her website. “After nine months of pregnancy, it's a sweet and well-deserved thank you." Kanye delivered and she received a glittering diamond choker. Beyonce’s post-birth gift played homage to daughter Blue Ivy, with a blue ring. Consider coloured gems that reference mum’s favourite colour or eye colour.
Simple diamond studs like the ones Kourtney Kardashian received after the birth of her daughter Penelope are a classic gift that enhances everyday style - and stays out of the way of little fingers.
Prince William commissioned a pair of elegant green tourmaline drop earrings for the Duchess of Cambridge to celebrate the birth of daughter Charlotte.
push present ideas
A cable bracelet by David Yurman is a powerful signifier of the strength of the family as its strands wind together to create a stunning piece that is more than the sum of its parts.
New mothers need jewellery that’s not only beautiful but also practical and this Shamballa corded bracelet is the perfect fusion of style and function.
A push present could also add to an engagement and wedding ring combination - choose a style that complements her existing jewellery and perhaps have it engraved with your child’s name and birthdate.
Busy new mums have schedules to keep and a beautiful watch is a much more stylish way to do that than a smartphone. The back of a watch is also the perfect place to engrave a special message for her and was Jessica Alba’s push present of choice.
Signet rings are becoming increasingly popular for women - this engraved piece is the perfect place for a family monogram or this David Yurman gem-encrusted Pinky Ring, available in a variety of hues, is a stylish way to add some luxury to the everyday.
Birthstones are also a beautiful starting point for a push present - used in either earrings, a bracelet or a ring. Choose a stone that matches the birth month of your new child, or a piece that combines birthstones of mum, dad and baby.
Whatever gift you choose, know that it will be treasured forever as a beautiful reminder of your children.
