Let your unborn baby listen to the gentle sound of chimes as a little silver necklace dances over your growing tummy creating the very first bond between mother and child! Anne-miek and Marcus of BabyChime were sent a beautiful chime from Europe while expecting their first child. The chime had a soothing sound to promote bonding. This is when the couple decided to offer this little joy with parents in America by working together with silversmiths to create their own designs. Their chimes are functional, special and are timeless momentos of your special 9-months of pregnancy.

The BabyChime hangs from a 34-inch dainty (nothing too gaudy) yet sturdy silver necklace so that it rests on your tummy never far from your baby. During the pregnancy, the mom-to-be, or her partner, can regularly move the chime over the belly to generate a gentle and calming sound. Upon birth, the baby can recognize the sound and associate the soothing chime with the feelings of being in the womb, such as comfort and security, peace and serenity.

The chime is elegant-looking and fully enclosed so there are no hinges & no worries about the chimes actually falling out. The chime itself has a very soft & soothing sound so it will be a pleasure to hear all day long. I love the fact that the chain is so long because you don't have to fumble with tiny clasps. You just slip the necklace over your head and you're set to go! 

Since the chime is made form sterling silver, there's a chance that it will tarnish when exposed to air. To prevent tarnish, keep it in a closed jewelry box or in the box it arrives in when you're not wearing it. Mine tarnished a little because I left it out for a few days as I took a trip to the coast with my family. Upon arriving home I just swiped the chime with a treated silver polishing clothe that I had on hand and the chime looked just like new!

The chimes come in wonderful shapes of hearts & decorated spheres! Perfect as a gift to an expecting friend or sister. Anne-miek and Marcus also offer sterling silver rattles, and many other unique gifts including the adorable Cuddle Sneakies, at the left, made with a 100% cotton jersey with fun red or blue stripes and filled with pure wool. My baby fell in love with these little dolls as he chewed on their elf-like ears, touched the knots and whipped me several times with them! I also love these dolls just because they are the perfect size to stuff into my purse or diaper bag and they are quite easy to clean as I just threw ours in the washing machine.
