Beautiful pregnancy tracker and a keepsake, this necklace made with red carnelian, labradorite, and unakite is a wonderful gift to an expectant mama. A movable charm with garnets is used to indicate the current week of pregnancy. This necklace can be worn or kept on a bedside table, on a desk, or in a purse. The necklace arrives in a gift bag ready for giving, with an instruction card on how to use it.

When ordering, please pick a custom charm for your necklace from those pictured in the last photo. If you pick the teardrop crystal (#27) I will match it to the colour of the beads. Please allow 3-5 days for the completion of the necklace. See below for the shipping time estimation.
The necklace is about 18 inches (46 cm) long. The necklace has 43 large beads, indicating the number of weeks your pregnancy might last. Trimesters are indicated in different colours, and there are separators for every 10 weeks, so you can tell where you are at a glance. Take a minute each week on the same day to move the charm and focus on where your body is right now in your pregnancy journey.

Please note that the item might differ slightly from the photo, as each bead is unique and each item created by hand. Since the beads are fragile, I do my best to ensure that the packaging protects them appropriately. Do have a look at the other items in my shop to take advantage of combined shipping costs.
