Birth gold is also called bar gold or – a bit disrespectfully – 'push present'. Giving birth gold is considered a beautiful memory of having a child. But what exactly is birth gold?
What is Birth Gold?
Birth gold is a gift that you give to your partner, girlfriend or family member after giving birth. Usually this gift is a piece of jewelry. You often give a ring , necklace or bracelet . Birth gold is given as a reminder of pregnancy and having a child.
Nice idea: you can later pass the jewelry on to your child. For example, when the child reaches a certain age or has a child of his or her own.
Bar gold as a tradition
It is not entirely clear where the history of giving Birth Gold lies. In America, the concept of 'push present' has been around for years, which seems to have been made big by celebrities who received very expensive jewelry after giving birth. Great example: Kim Kardashian asked for a diamond necklace worth $1 million after having her second child.
You could also see birth gold as a token of appreciation for the efforts your partner has made to have a child.
Tradition
In many countries, for example in Greece and India, gold is a traditional gift for mothers. Also, festive rituals such as weddings and bar mitzvahs are often 'rewarded' with the giving of large gifts. This tradition could therefore also come from this corner.
When to give birth gold as a gift
The best moment to give birth gold is a time when all the hustle and bustle of childbirth is over and you are alone with your partner. Make it a special moment!
