Adoption Jewelry
Nov 9th 2011, 10:00

To most women, jewelry is always the right answer when it comes to choosing a gift, but there are many adoption jewelry pieces that can be found online that make wonderful adoption gifts too. I think it's also important to note that most of these shops send a portion of their proceeds to benefit orphans around the world.

I know we all get excited to see what or who made the top of any list, but these items are not in any order. These all are such beautiful products and I wanted things that could be customized for any adoption story or be for adoption in general.

Happy shopping.

This adoption jewelry is an original design by adoptive mom Sherra Buckley. It is sterling silver pendant and measures 5/8" x 7/16" with a small sun, star, and heart design and comes on either an 18" sterling silver beaded chain (for a girl) or an 18" leather chain (for a boy). The necklace is packaged in a royal blue satin drawstring pouch. The pendant is also accompanied by a special poem for your son or daughter printed on 8.5 x 11 paper that is suitable for framing, that explains the symbols on the pendant and hopefully, helps to explain the grief and loss that accompanies adoption.

Featured in the June 2009 issue of Town & Country Magazine this beautiful bracelet has been created out of chocolate brown smoky quartz and accented with a gold leaf that symbolizes a family tree. This bracelet was co-designed by two adoptive mothers. Becky Fawcett, co-founder of Helpusadopt.org and Denise Cox, owner of Denise Cox Inc, Jewelry Design.

100% of the purchase price of this bracelet will be donated directly to Helpusadopt.org which is a national 501(c) 3 financial grant organization that helps couples and individuals with the costs of their adoptions by awarding financial grants up to $15,000.
