Have you heard of push presents or push gifts? Well, if you haven’t, allow me to explain. Push presents have been around for a thousand years. First started by the Romans. A push present is a meaningful gift bestowed upon a woman usually by someone she holds dearly, after giving birth. Hence the term “push”. Not just your typical flowers & a card but something much more thought out.
Only a few weeks after my daughter was born Juno Lucina sent me the most beautiful 14k white gold diamond necklace. I have to tell you I cried when I found out they were sending it & again when I received it. It really brought out a lot of emotions in me considering how the birth of my daughter went & just how lucky we were. You see Juno Lucina makes high quality jewelry specifically for pregnant or new mothers & their designs are based on Juno Lucina, the Roman goddess of childbirth, who was said to protect both mother and newborn in their journey ahead.
From jlucina.com
Theology states that Juno Lucina was invoked during childbirth for both an easy delivery and the promise of a healthy child. The name Lucina, of Latin origins meaning light, refers to "she who brings children into the light of the world for the first time."
I had the opportunity to discuss this line of jewelry with the owner & creator, Erik. I have to tell you it’s not often that an owner actually takes the time to explain what their vision was, how their product started, what it means, and what they hope to accomplish. While speaking to him you can actually hear the love in his voice. This man created this line of jewelry to first and foremost honor his own wife (who happens to be expecting their second soon!) & secondly to honor all mothers & those that are soon to be mothers for the first time. A lot of thought went into the making of this company. They have concentrated their efforts on only making this one specific gift. Although it comes in many forms. Earrings, necklaces’, custom made, etc.
Juno Lucina offers the perfect push present. All of their jewelry has a unique design which symbolizes the hands of Juno Lucina, the Roman Goddess of Childbirth, cradling and protecting the head of both mother and child. Each piece comes in a plush box, along with a special message for the mother telling her about the goddess, her meaning, and special words to make sure she knows this present is presented for an incredibly special moment in her life.

I would want this for a gift.
I think that it is wonderful that there is a piece of jewelry that is made with first time mommys in mind. Usually when a mom has a baby, everyone who comes to visit always brings something for the baby but mom doesn’t ever get anything honoring her. I think that the mother should get a special gift when she has a baby. My daughter is a first time mommy and I would love for her to have something like this,
I would really like this for myself
I want to win this for my mother-in-law.
