Four Corners Precious Gemstone Nursing Necklace

For those of you who have never been to the Four Corners Region of the United States and do not yet know of the wondrous beauty of the red earth against the clear blue sky, jutting red rock cliffs everywhere you look, this necklace gives you a little taste.

This new double loop style symbolizes the two lives of mother and child. Both loops contain their own unique charm, and create an off center combination. This new double loop Mothering Rocks design will captivate your baby's imagination while enhancing your wardwrobe.

What is a nursing necklace?

Veteran nursing mothers will tell you, around 4 or 5 months most nursing babies begin to get very distractable. They become very aware of the world around them as they nurse, and they want to see everything that's going on. They will try to turn their heads while latched on, or equally uncomfortably, pop off and on repeatedly as big brother walk in the room, the cat meows, a car horn honks outside, etc.

The usually remedies for "distractable nursing baby", such as nursing in a dark, quiet room, aren't always possible. And twiddling with your hair or nursing bra aren't going to keep her interested for long. So, what do you do if you need to nurse the baby in public (and believe me the popping off, whipping their head around to expose you to the entire world, then whipping back to relatch will get really old, no matter how unmodest you may be) or in the same room with your toddler? You get a nursing necklace.

A Nursing Necklace helps keep the attention of "distractable nursing baby." It typically has interesting colors, shapes and textures. You want to encourage baby to keep her attention directed toward your body. A nursing necklace will do that, by encouraging her to play with it.

Not just for breastfeeding mothers

In fact, we almost called them "Mothers' Necklaces" instead, since they are for all "mothers".

Anyone who spends any time around a baby, non-nursing mothers, grandmothers, child-care workers, etc, knows that from about 5-18 months you cannot wear jewelry! Your earings will be torn from your head, your bracelets jerked from your wrist, and a necklace is least safe of all. If you don't want it ruined, you don't wear it. That is the beauty of these necklaces; they don't break under the strain of everyday baby wear and tear, and they are beautiful, functional and fashionable just like everything else we offer at Eva Lillian.

Please note that your purchase may vary slightly from the pictures due to the obscurity of many of these gems and silver beads.

This necklace is made with precious and semi-precious gemstones throughout, on a strong cotton cord.

Color: Red Carnelian, Amazonite (see description of gemstones below), Cotton Strand and Sterling Silver. You choose your cord color!

Through the ages, different cultures around the world have recognized the healing properties of gemstones and have been fashioning gems into jewelry. Gemstones have been used for good luck, protection, and healing.

Gemstones are said to emit various vibrations and frequencies; potentially balancing and healing body, mind, and spirit. Little Gems has been created to benefit the wearer by selecting specific gemstones based on their colors and properties. As sunlight shines through these Little Gems, the light transforms into the various wavelengths of each gem, supposedly positively affecting the wearer.
