The push gift — a piece of jewellery given to a new mother to celebrate the birth of her child — has become one of India's fastest-growing jewellery gifting traditions. What started as a Western practice has been embraced by Indian families, particularly in metropolitan cities like Gurgaon and Delhi NCR, as a meaningful way to honour a mother's journey. This guide from Auric Jewels covers the best push gift jewellery ideas, budgets, and what makes each piece special.
What Is a Push Gift?
A push gift (also called a push present or baby gift for mom) is a piece of jewellery given to a new mother — typically by her partner — to mark the birth of a baby. It celebrates her strength, her sacrifice, and the beginning of a new chapter. In India, this tradition beautifully complements existing customs of gifting gold during a baby's birth.
Best Push Gift Jewellery Ideas
1. Diamond Pendant with Baby's Birthstone
A diamond pendant incorporating the baby's birthstone is one of the most popular push gifts. An April baby gets a diamond. A July baby gets a ruby. The pendant becomes a wearable reminder of the child's birthday, worn close to the mother's heart every day. At Auric Jewels, we create custom birthstone pendants in 18K gold with certified diamonds. Budget: ₹30,000-₹1,50,000.
2. Diamond Eternity Band
An eternity band — a ring circled entirely with diamonds — symbolises never-ending love. It is the most classic push gift and can be stacked with the engagement ring and wedding band to create a beautiful three-ring set. Budget: ₹50,000-₹2,00,000 depending on diamond quality and total carat weight.
3. Name or Initial Pendant
A delicate pendant featuring the baby's initial in diamonds or the baby's name in script offers a personalised touch that mass-produced jewellery cannot match. At Auric Jewels, these are handcrafted in 18K gold with genuine diamond accents. Budget: ₹25,000-₹75,000.
4. Diamond Tennis Bracelet
A diamond tennis bracelet is elegant, comfortable for new mothers (no sharp edges to catch on baby clothes), and appropriate for every occasion. It transitions from hospital to office to dinner seamlessly. Budget: ₹85,000-₹5,00,000.
5. Gold Bangles (Traditional)
For families who prefer traditional gifts, a pair of 22K gold bangles combines cultural significance with investment value. Gold bangles are the original Indian push gift — predating the Western trend by centuries. Budget: ₹1,00,000-₹5,00,000 depending on weight.
6. Solitaire Studs Upgrade
If the mother already owns diamond studs, upgrading to a larger carat size is a thoughtful push gift. Trading 0.25 ct studs for 0.50 ct studs creates a noticeable upgrade in sparkle and presence. At Auric Jewels, we offer lifetime exchange specifically for this kind of upgrade. Budget: Pay the difference — typically ₹25,000-₹75,000.
7. Mother-and-Child Pendant
A pendant depicting a mother and child silhouette — rendered in diamonds and gold — is a deeply emotional push gift. These are available in ready-made designs at Auric Jewels, or we can create a custom version that captures a specific pose or feeling. Budget: ₹20,000-₹60,000.

When to Buy a Push Gift
The best time to buy is before the baby arrives — during the third trimester. This gives you time to choose carefully, customise if needed, and have the gift ready for the birth day. If the baby has already arrived, it is never too late. Many fathers buy the push gift within the first few weeks and present it during a quiet, private moment at home.
