Breaking News: Moms Love Jewelry!

Becoming a mom is a big deal, and as I reflect on my first two years of motherhood, I want to share some of my favorite things that I have received as a new mom! Because even though I changed how I wore jewelry after having a kid (see: no long earrings until he was 18 months!), I still LOVE to wear it.

Jewelry Is Still an Option, I Promise!

Yes, babies like to grab earrings and necklaces, but I realized very quickly that I NEED to wear jewelry to continue feeling like a human…not just a vending machine for snacks, toys, and books.

Earrings That Don't Suck

Once you have a kid, finances change - it just happens! This is not something that I was really ready for, but now that budgets have had to change in order to account for extra expenses, I am even more picky about where discretionary spending goes.

This means I don’t spend money on the cheap but not lasting clothing or accessories from places like Amazon, because in addition to the insane amount of waste these companies make (not to mention funding a billionaire’s tenth yacht with my hard-earned money!), I want items that will last longer than one season!

Get Choose-y With Your Gems

Beyond avoiding big box stores for jewelry because I want to control where my money goes, I also avoid them because allergic reactions are all too easy.

For example, most of the jewelry at Target says "nickel free," but still causes a reaction. That is because a lot of them have other allergens that can cause reactions on skin! The last thing you want to worry about with kids is dealing with pain.

Jasper & Elm earrings are lead, nickel, and cadmium free - nearly every single base metal for the earrings is stainless steel, meaning that reactions are unlikely!
