Red Tent Jewelry...


During the last few weeks, the Bellyblessings store was opened! We have Fertile Myrtles for women trying to conceive, an Earthy Birthy Collection for those who love the earthy, symbolic stones related to pregnancy and birth. Our Mother's Milk jewelry celebrates the special bond of breastfeeding. A Cesarean Awareness collection for women healing from c-sections - with 10% going to ICAN. A Baby-on-Board collection in classic pinks & blues and our newest section, Red Tent Jewelry.

Our Red Tent Jewelry is named for Anita Diamant's inspiring novel The Red Tent, this collection was created with the intention of embracing, honoring and celebrating our moontime - our menstrual cycle.

Menarche is the first menstrual period of a young woman, and many of our Red Tent designs are created as a symbolic gift for the first moontime. We feel that a healthy, positive attitude toward menstruation is one of the best gifts we can give our daughters. Celebrating her menarche as an important event, is a great way to start her womanhood journey.

Celebrating menarche can be a simple gesture or a grand affair. From a full-fledged Moonrise Party, to a girl's day out at the spa or shopping, to sharing a cup of red raspberry tea with mum in private. Only you will know what the right way is for your daughter to celebrate this important rite of passage.

Be moonwise and pass it on to your daughters...
