The Mera Necklace

The Mera Necklace represents the eternal bond between a mother and her child, with the name derived from the scientific phenomenon of maternal microchimerism. During pregnancy, cells from your baby are transferred into your blood. These precious microchimeric cells, often referred to as "microchimeras," remain within your body! A baby's DNA has been found in mothers as early as 7 seven weeks so whether you had an early loss, pre-term, or full term delivery, your baby's cells literally live in you! The two pear shaped stones (keepsake stones or birthstones) in this necklace form a heart, symbolic of your baby who is forever a part of you. The Mera Necklace was named by Allison VanLiew on the 9/14/23 "Name This Necklace" giveaway.
