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 want to win this for my bestfriend Darice. She’s about 5 months along in her second pregnancy. Her first she lost to a painful miscarriage. She really needs the strentgh seeing as she is a young, single mother to be. The father of her child cut all ties with her and moved to Louisiana. She works two jobs and lives on her own. She’s strong but I know she’s scared, even though she’s always wanted to be a mom. She may be young but she will be a good mother and she deserves something as beautiful as she is.
I would love to win this for myself. I have birth to my 3rd child this past June. Out family struggles to get by and my husband works day and night to provide for us.
I would love to win this for my mother she has been a great single mother not only to me but to my brother and a my older sister whom she adopted. My brother was a twin but sense he was born at 6 months his twin died and my brother aurvived even though doctors said he had a small chance of living. She has better herself just to provide everything for us. Know that i am a mother myself i understand how hard my mom had to work to raise us and give us the same opportunities and other kids. Shes a great grandma as well she helped me troughout my pregnancy and shes still helping me now with my daughter. I love my mother and i cant afford to buy her something so beautiful like this.
I would like this beautiful necklace for myself. I am pregnant with my second child, a boy, and am due in December of this year, and have a 4 year old daughter. I would like this necklace because until this pregnancy I was the bread winner for my growing family. My husband was the stay at home dad and took care of our daughter because I am a medical billet, and make more with my career, as he had no previous work experience. When I became pregnant I became very sick, and am going through complications due to scoliosis, as well as asevear sodium sensitivity now that the sickness has subsided. I have never been able to afford to buy myself something special like this piece due to a tight budget and I would love to have a beautiful necklace as this. Thank you.
