Why give gold to a newborn?
In Saudi Arabia, the UAE and across the Gulf, gold is a traditional gift at a birth, often from grandparents and close family. It lasts, it can be passed down, and a first piece of gold stays a keepsake long after the child has outgrown it. 18K gold is 75% pure gold and does not tarnish (World Gold Council), so it keeps its colour for years.

Can you add the baby's initial?
Yes. Each Baby Hive bracelet can carry one English initial, A to Z, or be left plain. If you want an Arabic letter instead, give the mother an Arabic Letter Necklace with her baby's initial: it comes in all 28 Arabic letters. Our name or letter guide helps you choose.
What to buyBaby Hive Bracelet (Pink), AED 3,200Which size is right?
Each bracelet comes in two sizes: a baby size and a larger child size. The exact ages for each colour are on its product page. For a newborn, the baby size fits now and through the first years. If you would rather the child wears it at an age they will remember, choose the larger size and keep it for later.
How do you keep a baby's bracelet safe?
Treat it as a piece for special moments, not for sleep. Small jewellery can be a choking risk, so put the bracelet on for visits, photos and occasions, take it off at bedtime and whenever no adult is watching, and check the clasp before each wear. Keep it in its box when it is not in use.
What about a gift for the new mother?
A piece with the baby's initial or name is a popular gift for the mother. The Arabic Letter Necklace (AED 3,200) or an Arabic Name Necklace (from AED 4,250) with the baby's name lets her keep it close. For more ideas, see 18K gold gifts under AED 3,500 and our gift for your wife guide.
How long does it take to arrive?
The Baby Hive bracelets are made to order in about 15 working days. Delivery then takes about 3 working days within the UAE, where it is free, about 5 to Saudi Arabia and the rest of the GCC, and about 10 to the USA. If the birth is close, order before the due date so the gift is ready for the first visits.
