Intro

New mothers need all the love and support that they can get! After nine months of pregnancy, something sparkly is sure to make them smile.

In this blog, we’ll discuss the origin of push presents, tips, tricks, and gift ideas to get you started! We’ll also answer some commonly asked questions to make sure you’re on the right track.

What Is A Push Present?

You may have heard the term push present being thrown around at baby showers, gender reveal parties, and on social media. But you may have found yourself asking: What exactly is a push present? Let’s break it down. 

A push present is a gift from a family member or partner given to a new mother after childbirth. Especially for a first-time mother, the gift is meant to symbolize her transition into motherhood. It will signify this new life brought into the world. Any mother, regardless of how they give birth, can be given a push present! 

The gift can be presented before the baby’s birth or after- in the delivery room or in the nursery. Whatever feels best to you! 

Traditionally, push presents are given to mothers by their partners, but really, they can be a gift from any loved one- family or friend. Jewelry is the most common choice of gift, but it can also be whatever makes this new mom happy! 

When Did Push Presents Become Popular?

While birthstones and mother’s jewelry have been around for a while, the term push present didn’t really appear until the 1990s. In the decades since, the concept has become increasingly popular. In 2010, after several celebrities shared their own push presents on social media, the idea really took off. 

These days, new parents are simply looking for a nice way to make their wives feel appreciated and special. Push presents do the trick! 

How Much Should You Spend On A Push Present?

Push presents are often associated with heavy price tags (thanks to the large number of celebrities that participated in the trend), but this does not to be the case! 

Push presents don’t need to cost any certain amount of money for them to be meaningful. Buy whatever gift you know your partner will love for many years, regardless of its cost.

Why Jewelry Is The Best Option For A Push Present

After childbirth, new mothers deserve some pampering! Now is the time to gift her something that is for her and only for her. Jewelry gets the job done.

Unlike baby shower gifts, push presents are something special just for mom. A piece of jewelry is not only something that could last her a lifetime, but it’s also something that she can wear to make her feel beautiful- especially after such an arduous experience as giving birth. 

Nothing can make a new mother feel more special than a new necklace or pair of earrings! And even better, every time she wears her new jewelry, she’ll think of her beautiful child!

Sapphire Birthstone Care & Cleaning

Jewelers use a tool called the Mohs Hardness Scale to rate a gemstone’s general resistance to scratching. Gemstones are ranked from 1 to 10 on the scale, diamonds are the hardest at 10, while pearls are the softest at an average of 3. It’s important to note that higher gemstones are more durable while lower gemstones need a little more protection and care.

Sapphires are ranked 9 on the Mohs Hardness Scale, meaning the gemstone is highly durable and is not prone to cracking, chipping, or breaking. Furthermore, you do not need to be overly careful when cleaning them. 

But, this does not mean you can get away from caring for and cleaning your sapphire jewelry. Keep in mind that at least twice a year, you should check your sapphires to ensure the gemstone is not loose in its setting. Additionally, experts recommend storing your sapphire jewelry separately in its own container or in a soft bag to avoid being scratched.

The Mohs Scale of Hardness

Sapphires can also easily be cleaned at home. Even though you can use ultrasonic cleaners and steam with no problem, soap and water will do the trick. 

All you’ll need is:

  • A small bowl 
  • Soft-bristled bristled toothbrush
  • Warm water 
  • Mild soap 

Steps to clean your diamond:

  1. Add warm water into a small bowl with some mild soap.
  2. Soak your sapphire jewelry for ± 20 minutes. If your jewelry seems extra dirty, let it soak longer.
  3. Next, brush the gemstone with a soft-bristled toothbrush and rinse the jewelry with clean water.  
  4. It’s very important to dry the gemstone with a soft towel thoroughly.
  5. DO NOT allow the water to stay sitting on the gemstone.
