Hexagonal Cord Necklace

Description

Our babies are only small for a moment and an umbilical Hexagonal Cord Necklace can help keep a small part of your baby close. They gain their independence so quickly starting from when the umbilical cord is cut separating them from your shared placenta. We will cast a tiny bit of your baby’s cord stump or dried placenta powder into crystal clear UV resin. There’s a really informative DIY placenta encapsulation video here on YouTube but please be warned, it’s very graphic!

placenta and umbilical cord necklace colour options
You can pick one of our thirteen colour mixes, or choose “classic cord” for a piece set in clear resin with a white background. Click on this colour options page to see more info about each variation, including how we place each of the colours and shimmers. Each piece will look unique because of the natural colours of the umbilical cord and placenta powder and we can’t predict the results. Colours vary from white to red, black, pink and brown and everything in between.

adding hair
You can add your baby’s first curl or first haircut perhaps as an additional element to any of our umbilical cord and placenta keepsake pieces. Just write what you’d like in the box above!

cord and placenta powder sending kits
We’ll send you a kit a week or so after you order and here’s some advice on sending it in, please read it. It’s really important you keep some ash back and don’t send too much. “Less is more” with keepsake jewellery.

*tw baby loss* If you are looking for a loss piece for a baby or child then please email Nikki on info@treeofopals.com who will try to reply straight away. There are some instructions on our Baby Memorial Jewellery page on how to save hair, placenta and umbilical cord if your baby is to be born sleeping and ash if they are cremated.

Hexagonal Cord Necklace Setting

This hex setting is made from solid 935 Argentium silver, a slightly purer silver than solid sterling. Made from 100% recycled nickel-free solid silver. They are eco friendly, ethical and subtle. 

Engraving

Engraving is done in Arial font as standard, but please let us know if you’d prefer another font such as Times New Roman, Vivaldi, Amazone BT, or Silver South Serif & Script in the comments of the product before adding it to the basket. Click on each font to see it “in action” with your chosen words. We can work with any font, please get in touch to discuss alternatives. We recommend Arial, Times New Roman or Silver South Serif for long messages, and handwriting fonts like Vivaldi, Amazone BT or Silver South Script are great for short messages and on larger pieces. Copy and paste these emojis for your cremation jewelry, sometimes the ones on a phone or tablet aren’t accepted when you try to add to basket!

We have blogs with baby and breastfeeding quotes here or memorial quotes here. Please note, the necklace price doesn’t include engraving this must be added to the basket in addition to the necklace.

necklace setting
The necklace includes a 18″/45cm lightweight solid sterling silver chain. Due to the weight of the pendant, we highly recommend you choose a Necklace Chain Upgrades listing (click here). We recommend a bail upgrade too for something more personal. Feel free to get in touch with us first for a discount for a chain upgrade.
