What is umbilical cord jewelry?
The umbilical cord supplies the unborn baby with all nutrients via the placenta and thus keeps it alive. After birth, this is no longer needed by the baby and is therefore cut off.
​
After a few weeks, the dry remnant of the umbilical cord falls away from the baby bump and many people keep this piece in a box somewhere.
​
Isn't this piece, which is so valuable during pregnancy, a shame to be left gathering dust in some box?
​
Umbilical cord jewelry offers you the opportunity to have this very special connection between your child and you transformed into a beautiful piece of jewelry forever.
​
You can choose from different pieces of jewelry:
Umbilical cord pendant
Ring with umbilical cord
Bracelet with umbilical cord
Umbilical cord earrings

How is umbilical cord jewelry made?
I cut a few small pieces from the already dried umbilical cord. These are then incorporated into the piece of jewelry precisely and with great sensitivity.
​
The umbilical cord can be incorporated in a variety of ways. Please see mine on thisgallery at.

How do I care for my umbilical cord jewelry?
​
I recommend cleaning the jewelry occasionally with a soft cloth slightly dampened with soapy water. In this way, contamination is removed and tarnishing of the metals can be avoided or eliminated. Please never clean the jewelry with alcoholic cleaners or nail polish remover! Some pieces of jewelry are painted, which permanently damages this layer and also the casting resin.
​
The jewelry should be stored away from direct sunlight and heat, but please do not store it in a box or something similar completely in the dark, as in rare cases this can lead to dark yellowing!
Please do not store jewelry in the bathroom!
​
Contact with a lot of water and also salt water, sweat, chemical substances, strong heat and sunlight should be avoided. I therefore recommend taking off your jewelry when showering, bathing, swimming, exercising, sunbathing and before going to bed.
Rings should be removed before washing your hands and should not come into contact with cream or the like.
It is normal for sterling silver to tarnish over time. However, this tarnishing is accelerated by contact with, for example, perfume, salty air, sulfur, skin creams, hairspray and chlorine, as well as by the acidic pH values of the skin. Tarnishing is therefore not a manufacturing defect.
