Why wear your heart on your sleeve, when you could wear it around your neck for all the world to see!

Celebrity moms are doing just that – paying homage to their children with letter and nameplate necklaces by jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer Maguire.

A celebrity mom, herself (daughter Ruby Sweetheart is turning 3 next week, and Otis Tobias is 5 ½ months), Jennifer credits her happy home life with husband Tobey Maguire for the professional success she has enjoyed in recent years.

Celebrity Baby Blog recently chatted with Jennifer about her family-of-four, carrying on a family tradition of her own and her “crazy quest” to turn visions into a reality. Click below to read the interview.

There’s nothing quite like keeping your little ones close to your heart. And what better way to do it than with chic jewelry. Celebrities (and mom’s everywhere!) are displaying their motherly love with beautiful, personalized charm necklaces.

Actress Milla Jovovich was spotted at the park with daughter Ever Gabo proudly wearing her Swank Mommy Birthstone Tall Tag ($80). While toting her twins Jaid Thomas and Jax Joseph during a trip to the farmer’s market, actress Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon managed to still show off her Swank Mommy’s Birthstone Disc ($60).

Want one of your own? There are countless of options ranging from exquisite — and expensive! — diamonds to adorable — yet affordable — sterling silver.

My neighbor was recently searching for a gift for her nanny who is moving away and I was able to wholeheartedly recommend the Memory Maker Share Your Heart line. Each necklace, bracelet, keychain and bookmark has a chunky heart or square charm that can be personalized with photos or a message.

I wore the toggle bracelet with 4 braided cords and a heart charm ($15) for my daughter’s second birthday party and received several compliments. It is also casual enough that I could wear it to a pool party, which is important as I chase a toddler around during the summer. Not all of their jewelry is made from genuine silver but they still look great and it keeps the cost down — between $8 and $16 for most items. They also make an elastic, adjustable bracelet that kids love!

I’m a sucker when it comes to anything personalized. And this is especially the case when it comes to things I wear. After all, don’t we all want to be unique in some way or another? Luckily for me I found the Fleur di Lis Tag Necklace from BlissLiving.com ($395). Yes, it’s a small fortune but it is so totally gorgeous and amazing that I will wear and treasure it the rest of my life. Click to continue reading »

Many moms love to wear symbols of their children in the form of jewelry and celebrities are no different! We’ve noticed a number of celebrity moms opting for Swank’s simple and stylish personalized designs. The company has had its fifth sighting in the last six months, with each one showing a different style.

Brooke Burke loves her Birthstone Square ($130) so much, she will soon be selling it on her website, Baboosh Baby. The mommy necklace is personalized with the names of her four children Neriah, Sierra, Rain and Shaya along with their individual birthstones. Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon’s Birthstone Disc Necklace (starting at $60) shows off her twins Jax and Jaid’s names and their birthstone. Milla Jovovich wears the Birthstone Tall Tag Necklace (starting at $80) with her daughter Ever’s name and birthstone.

Other celeb moms who also wear Swank include Dennis Quaid’s wife Kimberly who wears the Birthstone Loop Necklace (starting at $100) with their twins T. Boone and Zoe Grace’s names, and Scott Baio’s wife Renee wears the Swank Mini Dog Tag Necklace with daughter Bailey’s name.

As with anything intended for babies, please be aware of the instructions accompanying each piece. While some jewelry is for babies to wear (with supervision), it may not be for them to eat and vice versa.

Tori Spelling shows off her Smart Mom necklace

How many times have you been at an appointment just wishing for one minute of peace from your teething baby so you can hear what the doctor is saying? Amazing teething jewelry from Smart Mom and Dr. Bloom are just what you need to get a word in edgewise the next time you need a moment (or ten!) of quiet from the wee teething one.

Every time I wear my pretty Brown Snowflake Donut Teething Necklace from Smart Mom Jewelry, my daughter chomps away happily and I use the time to have a conversation with a pal, eat a meal without interruptions, or, heck, just sit and enjoy a moment where I’m not the entertainer!

Same goes when I’m wearing my gorgeous Rectangle Plum Necklace from Dr. Bloom’s. Even my son has benefited from the useful baby distraction — he got to enjoy a local story time and my daughter enjoyed… well… a local chewing time, if you will.

These lovely, chewy jewelry pieces are a brilliant solution for moms on the go. There’s nothing to pack, since you just wear whatever pretty necklace or bracelet happens to match your wardrobe (and let me tell you, people are shocked when they find out these pieces are for chewing – they look like elegant stone pendants) and you’re all set.

Both are free from harmful chemicals and are safe for babies to chew on. Dr. Bloom’s are even dentist-created and endorsed while Smart Mom necklaces come with a breakaway safety clasp. And both companies donate a portion of their proceeds to children’s charities. You can’t go wrong.

There’s a necklace or bracelet style to appeal to every mom. Find yours and enjoy the peace. You can thank me later.

Amber teething necklaces are the new ‘it’ thing for babies to wear. The new ‘it’ thing from thousands of years ago, that is. The amber teething necklaces from Chook Mook ($42) just happen to be the prettiest ones I’ve ever seen.

Made from genuine Baltic amber nuggets (not chips or pressed beads like many on the market today) they are said to have natural healing and pain-relieving properties, so they’re as useful as they are pretty! Jacinta at Chook Mook hand knots (double knots, even!) all the beautiful beads onto 100% silk and attaches a sterling silver fastener of your choice.

Her beads are without a doubt the nicest ones I’ve encountered and she has a huge variety of shapes and colors available. There are no synthetics, plastics or glue in Chook Mook necklaces — and that’s saying something, since so many amber teething necklaces out there have these offenders in them. And if you’re unsure about a necklace on your baby, why not try a pretty anklet ($22), instead?

The biggest question you must have, though: do they work? Well, when I put mine on my daughter she inevitably cheers up and becomes as sunshine-y as the beautiful ‘Oranges and Lemons’ beads on the necklace. Color me convinced.
