Cardi B’s Umbilical Cord Gold Pendant From Baby No. 4

Cardi B’s latest piece of jewelry is worth more than money. 

After the arrival of her fourth baby on Nov. 4—her first with boyfriend Stefon Diggs—the “Bodak Yellow” rapper preserved a piece of his birth forever.

Cardi turned her son’s umbilical cord into a heart-shaped gold pendant made by Juliane Marie Corona, owner of Mommy Made Encapsulations. 

In a video shared on the Encapsulation Specialist’s Instagram on Nov. 20, Juliane shared the process of shaping the umbilical cord into a heart, before dehydrating it and dipping it into gold chrome.

“Where her journey started…turned into a keepsake she’ll treasure forever,” Juliane wrote alongside the video of the process. “The umbilical cord is the very first connection between a mother and her baby—the lifeline that nourished, protected, and carried them through every moment of pregnancy.”

“Creating this keepsake is always such an honor, but doing it for Cardi and her sweet baby again means the world to us,” she added. “Turning something so meaningful into a piece that can be held, remembered, and cherished forever is one of the most special parts of what we do.”
