Has anyone ever bought remembrance jewelry? I am thinking of buying some things from my forever child. Has anyone bought anything from them? If so, were you pleased with your purchase? I believe if I get everything that I want it will be about $200. I don't want to end up with something that I won't like. If anyone knows of any other websites to purchase memory jewelry from please let me know!

Also, has anyone purchased a lantern candle? I was thinking of burning a candle every year on 12/16 and thought that this would be neat instead of just having a plain candle. I wanted to get one that will say something like:
OUR BABY BOY
12/16/2009


Loss Gifts | Sympathy Jewelry | Bereavement Gifts | Miscarriage Gifts | Handprint Jewelry

Candle:

Large Floral Keepsake Lantern Candle

I looked at alot of the sites.. and what I have decided to do (since alot of the jewelry I looked at you couldn't buy add ons)... I have had three losses... I don't know if my next pregnancy one will be the one I get to hold in my arms... So I decided to hold off on getting a "loss"... I will be one day getting this necklace.. (well one very close to it, with the birthstone dangle)
personalized name necklace, silver disc necklace, silver coin necklace, hammered coin necklace

So until I am done having children.. I have a ring I wear with my little girls name I wear.. "Hope".. and my other two losses I didn't name.. (I didn't know the sex of those losses, they mean no less..) They are loveling called my first Angel, and my birthday Angel..... So I bought a necklace that says... "Believe".. and "Dream".. and I bought them to remind me of those two angels....

And I have a Braclet I wear with a Angel Wing that says "May uour days be blessed with the presence of an Angel watching over you"

I haven't bought any jewelry because I haven't found any that I really liked. I do plan to get a tattoo for my angel.

I decided not to buy any jewelry because I wouldn't wear it all the time anyway. I plan on getting a tattoo in a year. Candle sounds like a good idea too! I am going to look for a nice candle as well.

I ended up making my own memory bracelet. I couldn't find anything *just right*, and while at the craft store I found the most adorable peridot butterflies (I was due in August, and the birthstone is peridot). I really enjoyed picking out what I wanted to use, and then creating the pattern and putting it all together. I don't wear it everyday, but it hangs on my wall when I'm not wearing it. It kind of feels like a decoration I can take with me and wear.

I have thought about it. Sounds like good ideas from you ladies. I've definitely thought about using the birthstone in a unique way since I didn't know the sex and therefore didn't name the baby. I'm definitely going to look around for something unique and special.

i found a design for a tattoo that i'd really like but i am on the fence about it. I did buy a necklace though that is a similar design to my tat design that say survivor... I have a pic of it somewhere.

I had a very good JM friend (Jensma) give me a survivor necklace, that I think of her, and my angel baby every time I wear it.

I also have a tatoo that I will be getting at some point to remind me of my loss...I am trying to think of what I should do on my DD though, as it quickly comes upon me...I want to do something special to remember my angel baby!

Wow... that website has a lot of beautiful things. I already have 2 necklaces and a tattoo for my girls. I also have a wrought iron tree that we hang their ornaments on year round and 2 shadow boxes in the bedroom for them. I would love a necklace with their footprints on it, but I don't think I would wear it often enough. I love the candles though and think I might order 2 of them.
