Great British Mums

So this week we saw the anticipation finally over for the long awaited arrival of Baby Cambridge, Future King, Heir of the Throne, whatever you want to call him and whether you’re a royalist or not it was difficult not to get swept up into the whole excitement of the birth of the little baby Prince. I for one, was glued to my television screen waiting for a glimpse of the Duke and Duchess and of course their new arrival, who we now know to be named, Prince George Alexander Louis. With the media frenzy coming to a close and finally those precious images of the Prince revealed, it is now time to look towards the future at the excitement for what life holds for the Cambridge Family and here at H.Samuel it has got us thinking about all the new Mum’s & Dad’s out there who will be just as nervous as the new Royal parents. 

With the prince being born in the month of July, this means that his birthstone will be Ruby. This vivid stone, much like the other birthstones, make for a truly special birthday gift. To celebrate Great British Mum’s we have 25% off all Ruby jewellery to ensure you can get a birthday gift your Mum will love. This silver and 9ct gold created Ruby heart pendant is a beautiful gift for any July birthday and a contemporary way to where the classic heart pendant. 

For another gift that can easily be transformed into something special, a simple locket can make the perfect gift. By adding a photo or a message a locket is sure to be treasured forever and can be personalised to each individual and occasion. This vintage inspired scalloped locket complete with ornate floral detailing, and crafted from 9ct white gold rolled gold. This elegant locket is perfect for both day time and evening wear and is sure to make a memorable and loving gift. 

A popular tradition after the birth of a first child is the gifting of an eternity ring. These symbolic rings are often given to a wife by her husband on a significant anniversary, however in more recent times, the eternity ring is given after the couple’s first child. When looking for an eternity ring, there are two types, half and full, the most common is half which boasts a row of glittering diamonds. They also come in many designs, some with elegant twists or the classic channel setting. This simple 9ct white gold diamond eternity ring is sure to sit perfectly against your wedding & engagement ring and add an extra dose of sparkle.  

Now that the first images and the name of the Prince have been revealed, it is assumed that from now until his christening the new parents will lay low and concentrate on looking after their new son. Therefore, we may have a little wait until the next glimpse of Prince George, but until then christenings will be taking place all over the UK and what better way to mark the special day with a charming gift. Whether it’s a money box, a trinket box or the classic baby bangle, christening presents are truly treasured; even I still have a little silver bear money box and a bangle I was given on my christening all those years ago! 

Okay, so I might be biased about this next one, but how cute is this? This adorable Me to You money box is wrapped comfortably in a white blanket marked with the words, ‘On your Christening’, and this little bear is sure to keep all those pennies safe and sound until perhaps that potential pony request? 

To mark the birth of Prince George, here at H.Samuel we have a commemorative plate complete with his full name. This beautiful blue plate is perfect for celebrating the birth of the baby Prince and something you can treasure for years to come. This will be available to buy from next week.
