A pregnancy necklace is a personalized keepsake created to celebrate and preserve the special journey of pregnancy. At MBDdesign, our design studio in Iceland, we create unique, custom-made necklaces crafted from high-quality fine metals. Each piece is thoughtfully designed using a meaningful image provided by you, such as a sonogram/ultrasound, a belly photo, or a heartbeat waveform - transforming a precious moment into a timeless piece of jewelry.
Every pregnancy necklace is individually designed and handcrafted, making it a truly personal and meaningful keepsake to cherish forever.
How does it work:
1. Select Your Necklace Choose your preferred necklace style, material, and chain length. Then select your shipping and payment options at checkout.
2. Place Your Order Based on your selected necklace type, please upload the required image during checkout. This may include a photo, ultrasound/sonogram, belly photo, or heartbeat waveform.
3. Order Confirmation Once we have received your order, uploaded file, and payment, you will receive an order confirmation email (please check your spam or junk folder). Our team will then begin processing and designing your custom necklace.
4. Design & Production The design process typically takes a few days. After the design is finalized, production begins and takes approximately 2–3 weeks due to the intricate craftsmanship involved, including 3D printing, wax casting, plating, detailing, and polishing.
5. Shipping Once production is complete, your necklace undergoes a final quality inspection and is carefully packaged before being shipped directly to you. We are pleased to offer free worldwide shipping on orders over 200 EUR.
Every personalised pregnancy necklace is thoughtfully prepared and includes:
A personalised pregnancy necklace crafted in genuine fine metal - real gold, sterling silver or rose gold.
A basic adjustable chain measuring 40–45 cm (16–18 inches) (Upgrade options for a premium chain and longer lengths are available).
A protective gift box to safely store and protect the necklace during shipping.
A premium jewelry pouch for storage between uses, helping to preserve and protect the materials over time.
A polishing cloth to keep your necklace shining and beautiful.
A printed design preview of your necklace, showing how your piece was created from your original photo (This may include facial features derived from an ultrasound image, body contours from a bump photo, or a waveform based on a heartbeat recording).
A 2 year warranty from the date of purchase. This warranty covers factory or production defects that may appear during the warranty period.
Each order is carefully packaged to ensure your necklace arrives safely and remains a lasting keepsake.

Materials & Craftsmanship
All of our materials are genuine and crafted with the highest level of care and professionalism.
Sterling Silver Polished Sterling Silver 925 (92.5% pure silver) is a high-quality silver alloy commonly used in fine jewelry and other skin-safe applications. Like all sterling silver, it may tarnish over time, but it can be easily polished to restore a like-new finish.
18K Gold Our 18K gold pieces are made from polished solid brass, electroplated with 0.1 micron of 18K gold, and finished with a clear polyurethane coating for added protection. While gold-plated brass is durable, it may scratch or wear over time. Prolonged surface friction can gradually diminish the finish. To preserve its appearance, we recommend storing your piece in a soft cloth pouch away from other items and avoiding exposure to household chemicals and cleaning products.
Rose Gold Rose gold pieces are crafted from polished solid brass, electroplated with 0.1 micron of 18K red gold, and sealed with a clear polyurethane protective coating. Although durable, gold-plated brass can still scratch or wear with extended use. To help maintain the finish, store your jewelry in a soft pouch and avoid contact with household chemicals and cleaning agents.
Custom Materials We also offer custom materials upon request, including solid 14K or 18K gold, black gold, rhodium, platinum, steel, brass, bronze, and copper. Please contact us for additional details.
Chain Options:
Standard Chain Durable stainless steel chain with a silvery, gold, or rose-gold plated finish. Adjustable length of 40–45 cm (16–18 inches). Features a sturdy box chain design with a thickness of 1.0–1.5 mm.
Premium Chain High-quality sterling silver chain, available in natural sterling silver or 14K gold/rose-gold plated sterling silver. Adjustable length of 45-50 cm (18–20 inches). Features a fine box chain design with a thickness of 0.5–1.0 mm.
For alternative chain materials or custom lengths, please contact us prior to placing your order.
Pendant Size
Pendant diameter/length is 2 cm (0,8 inches) on most necklaces. Mini Necklaces are 30-50% smaller.
