The often-isolating experience of new motherhood in Western culture also plays into the trend, Ms. Snelgrove wrote.
“Some of this mom-identity-proclaiming fashion could be read as a cry for connection.
If you’re expected to be performing as a professional while your heart is elsewhere, the desire to keep the kids close via one of these pieces is understandable.”While initials are popular for first-time mothers, other women prefer more discreet markers of motherhood.
She has also paid £790 at auction for a vintage Elsa Peretti for Tiffany pendant with three hearts of white, yellow and rose gold to represent her family.
“As a single mum it felt important that I’m included, too,” she said.
