Memorial Jewelry

Just curious if anyone would like to share their memorial jewelry.  My husband got a tatoo of his name, and I've considered doing the same.  I've seen posts where some of you have shown your memorial tatoos, and they are beautiful.  I'm also thinking of jewelry as well and would love some ideas.  I would like to get something that I could engrave with his name and birth date - I just haven't found anything that's "just right" yet.  I hope everyone is doing o.k. today.

    I was obsessed with finding the perfect necklace and I'm so happy with the one I found.  It's this pendant:

    The stone is an opal, the birthstone for October. On the back I have his initials and birth date engraved.   I love it and I never take it off except to shower.  I also plan on getting a tattoo but I don't want to do it while I'm pg, so it will be after my rainbow is born.

    Please forgive me for replying when I'm not a late loss mama, but I did purchase jewelry to memorialize our early loss. It's a cuff bracelet engraved with the latin phrase in my signature (so long as I breathe, I hope) along the inside. I got it from James Avery and really loved how flexible the engraving options were. They're a little more pricey but I've never gotten a piece of jewelry from them that was less than perfect. They also engraved DH and my wedding bands with a longer than usual phrase (Once upon a dream... 07.05.03) and the engraving has held up beautifully through years of constant wear. I've had a few things engraved over the years that didn't hold up to wear- no one wants a lost or tarnished engraving.

    I love the bracelet as a jewelry piece though- I have many necklaces that dress up or down an outfit but a simple silver cuff works perfectly with everything from blue jeans to dressing up for a night out.

    I have a locket that's a plain oval with 'Samantha 10/28/11' engraved on the back. The locket is actually empty for now (not sure if I want to put in pictures or what), but I still feel as if somehow a part of her is inside.

    DH engraved the inside of his wedding band with her name and the date as well.

    My sister also had a late loss and she has a necklace that holds a bit of her baby's ashes but I'm not sure where she got it from.

    I went through the company "thumbies" and I got Jacob's footprint on a silver heart charm that I wear as a necklace. Our hospital also gave us a teeny tiny gold ring for Jacob's finger that I wear on my charm necklace with my older son's initial.

    We have a bracelet around Nathaniel's urn. It is a bracelet meant for an infant, which seemed appropriate. It has his initials on it, and on the back is the date.

    I have a necklace in the shape of a heart with Sofia's name and two little feet... I think you can see it in my profile picture.

    My coworkers got me a necklace that has their names on it and birthstones.

    I also wear their baby rings on a chain. It's comforting to wear a reminder of them.

    I have been looking at a ring - they sell couple rings that you can engrave and have birthstones on them.
