I'm torn between a necklace and a bracelet, what a lovely way of having something to remember and keep with you.
I know some people may think its a bit odd, but when this baby is born I want to get a tattoo with Ella and the new baby's names, and either a star, or an angel or a dove or something to symbalise the baby we lost.
Even though we never saw our baby or a heartbeat, that pregnancy will always be significant to me and it was still my baby so having something solid to remember by would be lovely. Will remind Angus he owes me a birthday present...

My necklace has arrived and I am really pleased with it. It come in a lovely lilac drawstring bag with a poem that you can't read without crying. There are stones to represent the loss of all my babies including the twin I lost of Ollies. There are opals, blue topaz and ruby to remember my baby I lost last December and Amethyst, emerals and blue topaz to remember my triplets. There are pale blue and pale pink stones to help heal and mark each one of my babies.

The picture quality probably doesn't do it justice as it's hard to make the colours out. I like the way as you say Rin each stone means something and no one else will really know what it means apart from me.

Thats lovely Sam.
I'm really pleased with mine and a few people have commented on how pretty it is. I've told some people what it means, others I've just said thank you.
Rin, it really is hard to chose. I let DH make the final choice, as it was my birthday pressie.

Its a beautiful necklace! What a wonderful way to remember, with all the different coloured beads! I wonder if I might get one for my mum. She had a few miscarriages and a still birth before she had me and my sis. And my mil too lost a baby, and my sil! Its amazing when you start thinking how many people you know who have had to go through such a horrible experience!
