The
love a mother bears for her child is the most powerful of human
emotions. There is no bond stronger than that between a
mother and her child. A mother and child necklace is
powerfully symbolic of that bond. With a mother and child
necklace a mother can always be near to her child, no matter where they
are. A mother and child necklace is a necklace with a stylized pendant depicting the embrace of a mother and child. For mothers with more than one child mother and child pendants come in twin or triplet styles. They can be cast in yellow or white gold, and can even be set with diamonds. The original and most beautiful designs are those created by Janel Russell. Janel Russell's story: Janel Russell is blessed with two gifts: her creativity, and her son. After studying jewelry manufacturing and design at the Minneapolis Vocational School Janel went to work for Gary Bonstrom at G. Allen Jewelers. She would sometimes stay late to work on her own designs after work hours. Janel was working on a design that would showcase the love she felt for her son. She had always worn a single pearl around her neck as a symbol of that love. Due to her habit of constantly toying with it the pearl would periodically wear out and need to be replaced. One day, after yet another pearl had been worn out, Janel decided that it was time to create a more lasting symbol of her love. Thus, in 1980, the mother and child necklace was born. Janel proudly wore the beautiful piece, and soon friends and family were asking Janel to make one for them. The mother and child necklace became a phenomenon. In 1981, Kirchner Corporation, who arranged to market it in the U.S. as Mother and ChildŽ, discovered Janel's copyrighted design. Janel's Mother and ChildŽ jewelry line quickly became one of the most sought after family-theme jewelry items in history. Where is the best place to purchase a mother and child necklace?
