Description
Miscarriage Memorial Ornament, Glass Peppercorn Christmas Ornament in your choice of silver-color or gold-color with crystal heart. Each ornament is a thin, hollow glass globe just over 2-1/4 inches (60mm) in diameter with a silver-tone or gold-toned metallic cap that's held in place by a spring wire. The glass ball symbolizes the mother's womb. Attached to the underneath of the cap is a Sterling Silver or 14/20 Gold-Filled chain decorated with 1 small green glass leaf & a larger-than-life glass peppercorn to represent your baby. Your ornament will be customized with a crystal heart in your choice of colors, which I will hang just above the leaf. Or if you prefer, you may choose to have a second leaf in place of the heart, so that you have one leaf to symbolize each of the baby's parents. The peppercorn is about 3/8 inch (10mm) in diameter so it's easier to see. Your ornament will be shipped in two 100% recycled paper gift boxes with stretch bows. "Your baby is the size of a peppercorn." These words appear on several popular internet pregnancy calendars at the 5 weeks stage of development. This ornament can be a sensitive keepsake for yourself or for a family who is grieving the loss of an infant at 5 weeks due to miscarriage or other complications. FINAL ASSEMBLY IS REQUIRED. Directions are below & will also be shipped with the ornament.

The Nature of Mother Nature: Almost nothing in nature is completely round, smooth or even, so I avoid making my glass fruit & leaves too perfectly. I put on little splotches & speckles, make them a tidbit lopsided, & add other small imperfection so that each berry or leaf is unique. This makes them look much more real. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS: The cap, with chain & glass items already attached, will be packed in a small gift box separate from the glass sphere. This way the beads won't bang around inside the hollow space during shipping, as that could lead to chipping or breakage. After you receive your package you can
