The art of Motherhood

With the KIND founder, Tansy Haak, expecting the arrival of her second child in the next few weeks, we thought it was fitting to focus this slow Sunday around Motherhood. 

So to all the mothers and motherly figures…. The new mums, the old mums, biological mums, and maternal mums, we see you and we are here to honour the things that you do for our communities.

Family is such an important core value at KIND. It is something that we all treasure so closely, which is why we always love creating bespoke jewellery to represent these bonds.

Whether it’s a bespoke designed ring that includes the birthstones of each child - or a necklace from our collection that has an initial/message engraved into it, celebrating these life milestones and relationships is something we love being a part of.

A few months ago, a beautiful KIND Customer, Elisa Adams, was treated by her partner to one of our Mini Crescent Lune Disc Necklaces. She had an A engraved onto it to celebrate the birth of her baby, Arnie. Elisa, along with other KIND Mumma’s, will continue to wear their jewellery for many years to come as a celebration of their shared journey through pregnancy and motherhood.

“It grew you, and that’s amazing” - Elisa Adams

These stunning images represent those early months so clearly, Elisa’s beautiful body still evolving to nurture this new little soul. They were captured by the extremely talented Sarah Barlow - who is not only an incredible photographer, but is also the founder of Weald Handmade. Thank you to both Elisa & Sarah for these beautiful images, and sharing their story with KIND.

Whilst we offer engraving on most KIND pieces, here are four of our most popular necklaces to personalise. Each style is available in 9ct gold, 9ct rose gold and stirling silver.

Whilst marking the birth of a new child with jewellery is something truly special, we also wanted to share some of our favourite local, eco-friendly and all-round exceptional brands with you. Whether you are expecting, or know someone who is, these brands have helped so many navigate their way through the early days of parenthood - whilst remaining sustainably conscious.

Little Lamb

In the UK, over 8 million disposable nappies are thrown out everyday. Over the course of the year, that number skyrockets to almost 3 billion. Seeing this number grow each year, the creators of Little Lamb designed a collection of reusable nappies, in every shape, size and pattern that you could dream of.

Rue and Cole - skincare

Rue and Cole sell the most delightful organic skincare, that is made using organic shea, coconut and avocado oil. These gentle deep moisturisers are handmade in Leeds (UK) - and can be used by the whole family. Their products are allergy free and aim to smooth and heal the most delicate of skin.

Little Green Radicals

Last but certainly not least… Little Green Radicals. These organic cotton gurus have designed and created a fantastic line of eco-friendly apparel for children from ages 0-8. They are transparent about their supply chain (which we love) - AND their packaging is all compostable.

We know first hand how hard it is to be conscious about anything other than your newborn in those first few weeks - especially for first-time parents. So we hope that that these brands can help you navigate your way through the beginning, and help you to make some choices to remain sustainable and eco-friendly during the first stages of this journey.

With love, the KIND family x
