Made of 'blue granite' glass beads with pink seed beads and a pink mother-of-pearl cross, this wrist chotki makes me think of a baby shower. Since a baby shower is a celebration of the new life within the mother's womb, I also think of Mary's visit to Elizabeth.

When the angel announced to Mary that she would conceive, he also informed her that her cousin, Elizabeth, had conceived in her old age. Not concerned about her own comfort, Mary immediately undertook a long and arduous journey in her first trimester, to help her pregnant elderly cousin. The two women joyously celebrated the new lives within them.

This wrist chotki would make a wonderful, thoughtful gift for a newly pregnant woman, especially if she has chosen not to find out the gender of her child!
