Smart Mom jewelry, pretty and practical
April 10th, 2008
On Tuesday’s Daily Dish I reviewed Laughing Starfish, jewelry that doubles as a nursing necklace for your nursing or bottle-fed baby by day and a beautiful necklace for Mom by night. Today I have another double-duty line of jewelry perfect for curious and/or teething babies and perfect for Mom. Smart Mom Jewelry brings you Teething Bling, “inspired by babies who like to tug on our jewelry.”
What? Babies like to yank, tug, and mouth our jewelry? If you’ve got the collection of necklace casualties I do (the result of baby’s sometimes freakish strength) then you’re familiar with this phenomenon. Smart Mom Jewlery’s line of Teething Bling is a collection of baby-friendly pendants and bangles that look great on Mom (or Grandma or that favorite Aunt) but are safe for babies to handle and chew. Teething Bling products are 100% lead-free, and Smart Mom Jewelry is non-toxic and phthalate free, and all pendants come with a breakaway clasp. That means Mom won’t come close to passing out when her little one wanders off with necklace in hand–and still attached to Mom’s neck!
I received three sets (two of which we’re giving away…see details below) of Smart Mom’s Teething Bling donut pendants with matching bangles. I was impressed (aka surprised) by how solid they look yet how flexible and tooth-friendly they are. I would have worn my Mother of Pearl pendant the next day if my 2 1/2-year-old hadn’t claimed it as his own. (I can prove it with a picture of him wearing it while dancing in his big sister’s black tutu–very fashionable!) My 8-month-old loved mouthing the bangle and I found that even its simple design was enough to keep her attention–and mouth–busy in the car and at church. You know, sometimes simplicity is the best policy.
Smart Mom Jewelry is truly stylish and beautiful and a favorite of babies and moms everywhere. With Mother’s Day in just a few weeks you’ll be happy to know they have their new rose quartz hearts in stock (see photo above), just in time to give Mom this May. –Emily

just what i need!!! little guy is always yanking at my necklace!!
April 11th, 2008 at 7:58 am
Nice looking…and what an added benefit, the baby can also enjoy it, instead of hearing the usual No, no, no
April 11th, 2008 at 8:00 am
I really could’ve used one of these when my son was younger- it would make a great gift for my friend who is expecting!
April 11th, 2008 at 8:00 am
what a good idea! i like the jade stone
April 11th, 2008 at 8:02 am
I love these, I have been wanting one so bad! I no longer wear a necklace as my baby tries to eat it!!

I’d soooooo love this right now. My baby is just getting her second tooth and is biting on everything!
April 11th, 2008 at 8:06 am
What a great idea! I have 41 nieces and nephews (yes, I’m serious), and I can’t tell you how often myself or one of my sisters or in-laws has had a necklace ripped off our necks. Ouch! This would be great for my sister though whose little one really loves necklaces!

April 11th, 2008 at 9:13 am
I love the jade or mother of pearl. My daughter will think she is getting away with something!

These are way cool, and just my style.
(simple) I like the moonstone color.

April 11th, 2008 at 9:22 pm
very practical and useful, now babies can safely chew on the necklace your wearing.
April 12th, 2008 at 6:17 am
What a great idea!!
April 12th, 2008 at 7:44 am
These are amazing – cute and practical! I would love to be wearing one – and baby girl would love it too!

These are such a good idea. Thank you for hosting this giveaway.
April 12th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
I think this is the neatest thing! They don’t even look like teethers. I can imagine people giving weird looks wondering why a mom would allow a baby to gnaw on her necklace. I like the assortment of colors too.
April 13th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
My little teething monster and I would love one of these!
April 13th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
Super dooper idea!
April 13th, 2008 at 6:18 pm
These are perfect since my 10 month old just popped her first tooth!
April 13th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
What a great idea! Please include me in your drawing.
April 14th, 2008 at 6:45 am
I love the turquoise necklace.
April 14th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
This was a great idea, wish I had thought of it!
April 14th, 2008 at 9:06 pm
oh how awesome. I LOVE LOVE that it is safe…go green!
April 16th, 2008 at 4:21 pm
That heart looks like candy…so lovely!
April 17th, 2008 at 8:15 pm
I was just wanting one of these today as my 8-month-old was fighting to teeth on my REAL necklace.
