For centuries, it has been a tradition for a new fathers to give a new mother a token or gift of gratitude for the birth of his healthy baby. Unfortunately, gifts and tokens were rarely given unless a birth produced a male heir. Although their methods are not as socially accepted today, royal families have upheld this tradition for centuries.
Princess Diana reportedly received a diamond choker, accented with a diamond heart pendant from Prince Charles as a 'Thank you' for the birth of Prince William. Upon the birth of her son, Francis, Maria Carolina of Austria (Marie Antoinette's sister) received a rank and position of Counselor of State. An old, French tradition is one wherein the new father presents his wife a diamond upon the birth of his first child. New mom gifts have spanned the centuries.
In this day and age, with the economy as unsteady and questionable as it currently is, new fathers cannot afford to give the extravagant jewels of royalty, let alone palaces and positions of rank! Luckily for them, new fathers today can buy mementos for the women who grant them heirs. This is where the newest jewelry designs and trends can help a new father give a gift to be treasured always!
