When my beautifully hefty, not-so-little bundle of fuzzy-haired joy made his way into the world, it was all I could do to keep myself from wearing a giant sandwich board and ringing a hand bell to announce his presence to anyone and everyone.
Fortunately for said anyone and everyone, the whole billboard-bell thing is just not my style.
But, after searching for a tastefully simple, yet classically cool way to commemorate Will's birth, I found that apparently nothing seemed to suit my style ... unless I wanted to trade my mixed bag of Katie Holmes-Jackie O.-Audrey Hepburn-esque likes for more of a livin' la vida diva drag queen meets Gza Gza Gabor look.
Thankfully, I finally came across Julian & Co., a mama-created company that believes that you're "never too little for style," and that offers parents and their babies a unique, delicately gorgeous, cleanly styled handcrafted line of 18k gold and sterling silver bracelets, charms (shown at top left), necklaces, cuff links, coins (a very cool, new unexpected addition) and more. 
Inspired by founder Tania's own little guy, Julian, who was born 11 weeks early and weighing in at just 3 lbs. and some change, each piece can be completely personalized to include baby's name, birth date, time of birth, weight and length, and features the company's signature hand or feet prints (some include both depending on the style and size). $39+
