BABY SHOWERS — Are We Tempting Fate?
A Tradition Not So Traditional — For Most of the World
If you’re from Europe, South America, or most places outside the U.S., the first time you hear about a baby shower might leave you... confused. Maybe even a little uneasy.
A celebration before the birth? Before ten fingers and ten toes are counted? Before fate has had its say? It’s not something most old-world cultures take lightly. In fact, many see it as tempting fate — calling joy too early, without assurance. While some Americans may see the baby shower as a sweet, lighthearted ritual (or a marketing invention with pastel frosting), others quietly wrestle with whether it's even appropriate.
A Different Approach to Gifting
So what do you do when invited to a baby shower — and the registry is full of onesies and gadgets, but your instincts resist?
You look back to what your culture has always done:
You gift the mother.
You offer protection, not product.
You give something that honors the journey — not just the destination.
Enter — The Angel Caller
The Angel Caller Necklace, handcrafted in Italy from .925 sterling silver, brings with it a rich tradition that spans centuries.
A gently chiming pendant worn low over the belly during pregnancy, it’s believed to offer protection, calm, and connection — for both mother and baby.
The pendant contains a brass chime mechanism that produces a soft, harmonious sound when moved. The baby begins to recognize it in the womb, and after birth, that same sound becomes a source of soothing familiarity. Some parents continue to wear it, while others hang it near the crib as a quiet comfort.
Unisex and timeless, the Angel Caller is also a beautiful gift for fathers-to-be — a symbol of their role as protectors and present partners on the path.
A Gift That Respects Both Tradition and Intuition
If you find yourself standing between cultures — wanting to honor a new tradition while staying true to your own — the Angel Caller offers the perfect bridge.
It isn’t about celebrating the outcome before its time.
It’s about protecting the journey as it unfolds.
