Uterus necklace H | sterling silver
A uterus necklace gets people talking, at work and at home. One customer bought one and planned to give one to every gynaecologist friend. This horizontal version is a gift for the woman whose work centres on this organ, or for the woman who wears it out of pride in her own body.
Who It's For
- a friend who is an OB-GYN, a midwife or a labour and delivery nurse, to wear at work
- a whole circle of gynaecologist friends, one each
- your wife or girlfriend
- a close friend, for her birthday
- yourself, as a good luck charm
If this organ is part of your own story, the necklace can hold that too.
Helen S. gave it to a friend who works in obstetrics: “My friend absolutely loved this necklace and plans to wear it to work as a teaching tool for her patients!” Faye T. bought hers for herself: “It makes me feel prolific, full of female energy and pride”
The Science Behind the Uterus
Outside pregnancy, the uterus weighs about 70 grams and its cavity holds 10 millilitres or less. By the end of pregnancy it weighs about 1.1 kilograms, and what it holds has grown to around 5 litres, 500 to 1,000 times its usual capacity. It gets there mostly by enlarging the muscle cells it already has, with few new ones added. Then, within about six weeks of the birth, it shrinks back close to its earlier size.

FAQ
How big is it, and how does it sit?
The pendant measures 27 mm (about 1.1 inches), a little more than a 2-euro coin (25.75 mm) or a US quarter (24.26 mm). The 45 cm (17.7 inch) sterling silver chain runs through the ends of the two side arms, so the pendant sits level just below the collarbone, with a 5 cm (2 inch) extender. Extra chains in 40, 42, 45, 50 and 80 cm, in silver or gold vermeil, can be added on this page. Our 925 sterling silver is nickel-free and hypoallergenic, and a polishing cloth brings back the shine when silver darkens with time.
Is there a smaller version, or one in gold?
Yes. The vertical uterus necklace is the same design at 18 mm, and it hangs from a single loop at the top instead of the side arms. Both sizes come in sterling silver and 18K gold vermeil. Choose the finish the recipient already wears: the design is the same in both.
Will it arrive in time, and what if it isn't right?
DHL Express delivers free in 1-5 business days worldwide, and we pay the import duties and taxes, so nothing is due at the door. It arrives in a ready-to-gift jewelry box and festive envelope. If it isn't right, our 30-day “Love It or Return It” policy applies.
Who made the life-size atlas of the pregnant uterus?
William Hunter, the Scottish anatomist and obstetrician, later physician extraordinary to Queen Charlotte. Many of the drawings were first made in 1751. More than twenty years later, in 1774, he published The Anatomy of the Human Gravid Uterus, printed by John Baskerville in Birmingham. Its 34 copperplate engravings are printed at life size, most of them after drawings by the Dutch-born artist Jan van Rymsdyk.
