Push!

In all the chaos of the last 6 weeks since Max was born, I forgot to share with you this stunning necklace that The Fella gave me the night I went into labor. My girl friend calls it a "push present." Whatever the name, it was probably wise that he took this out after I got the epidural, no matter how gorg this is! 

Peach moonstone wire-wrapped with 14kgf wire and a freshwater pearl
bezeled in vermaille (sterling silver overlaid with 24k gold)

This necklace is a one-of-a-kind designed by Alex Agudo, who is behind the jewelry label, Monsieur Pamplemousse. We met Alex at my high school friend's house party back in September and we got to talking about his jewelry making. He happened to have a few prototypes on hand that I was positively smitten with! Little did I know that The Fella contacted Alex after that for a private viewing of his new collection and picked out a piece unlike anything I own. Best of all, this necklace is a beautiful reminder of the night that changed everything for us.
