What Should I Give My Mom for Mother’s Day?

Mother’s Day is just a few weeks away and now is the time to find the perfect gift that says, “Mom, I love you with all my heart and appreciate everything you have done for me!”

After having to go above and beyond this past year to homeschool their children or grandchildren, all moms and grandmas deserve an extra special Mother’s Day! Along with treating your mom to a safe Mother’s Day meal and heartfelt card, give her a gift as remarkable as she is – give her the gift of fine jewelry. Jewelry is a precious gift that it can last for generations, allowing it to be passed down from mother to mother, just like your love.

Symbolic Jewelry Gifts for Mom

Even back in hunter-gatherer days when men defended and women nurtured their families, mothers were the ultimate protectors of their child. A mother’s protection starts within their womb and does not end until their little ones are old enough to leave the nest. And after growing up, many moms keep helping their kids until their roles reverse, and the mom needs to be cared for. A role this significant deserves a gift just as substantial. We recommend finding a symbolic gift that represents your mom’s role as a protector and caregiver, such as circular or chevron diamond jewelry.

EDHA050-T

In ancient cultures across the world, women and mothers have been represented alongside circles. This symbolism includes female figures creating a circle with their arms wrapped around their wombs, as well as women encased in spheres or depicted as round celestial objects like the earth and moon. These feminine circles represented the life, protection, and intimacy women provide their families. With this imagery just as true today as it was in the past, a round pendant or pair of round earrings featuring a halo is a perfect Mother’s Day gift!

Our stunning mixed metal earrings EDHA050-T are a great circular gift for any mom. Not only do these diamond studs feature twinkling round diamond halos, but they are also set in love-tinted rose gold. In general, diamond jewelry set in gold is always a great gift idea for someone you truly care about. With proper care, diamond jewelry can last as long as your love, and the love between a mother and child never fades. This unending love is also represented by a circle’s continual loop.

WDD625-W

Just like the circle, the ancient Celtic chevron is a traditional V-shape that has represented warriors and protectors for thousands of years. Today, many soldiers in western societies still get chevron tattoos and their rank is represented by the number of chevrons on their uniform badge. So, by giving your mother a chevron ring like WDD625-W, you are giving her a sparkling emblem that marks her as a mighty yet caring warrior who should take pride in all the hard work she put into raising you.

Classic Jewelry Gifts for Mom

If looking for a more universal and classic jewelry style for your mother, consider diamond hoops. Diamond hoops are a staple for almost every woman’s wardrobe, so you cannot go wrong gifting a pair! For a Mother’s Day gift, we suggest getting your mom huggie hoops. This petite hoop style is great for casual or fancy looks, they are very affordable, and whenever your mom wears them, it will feel like you are giving her a hug. EDD3038-Y is a great option since these huggie hoops have proven popular among women of all ages, making them a perfect gift for a new mom with a baby or for a mom of 60 years.

PDD3141-W

Necklaces also make wonderful gifts for mothers of all ages. You can easily find necklaces embellished with symbolic circular and chevron pendants or traditional hearts and infinite pendants. But if your wife or mother is a more creative quirky individual, get them something more unique. Geometric, pear-shaped, and oval pendants are very prevalent right now for individualistic modern women. When these fun and fancy shapes are combined with gemstones or specialty cut diamonds, you get a look as special as your mother. PDD3141-W is a magnificent example! This trendy oval pendant features alternating round and baguette diamonds, creating a more visually intriguing look that is also elegant. Most baguette diamond jewelry shares this artistic flare – the jewelry looks both modern yet vintage and detailed yet simple all at the same time. A look as classic as your mother.

CCR2558-P

The most tried and true Mother’s Day jewelry look is gemstone jewelry. Gemstones are vibrant, acting as a long-lasting bouquet of flowers. So, husbands often buy their wives a mother’s ring or necklace showcasing her birthstone and the birthstones of their children. This multicolored gemstone jewelry allows moms to hold their children close, even after they grow up and leave. The main downside of mother’s rings and necklaces is that depending on which months you and your children were born during, your gemstone colors could clash and not look good together in one piece of jewelry.

It is also common to give moms a piece of jewelry featuring their favorite color gem or featuring a gem that represents something special. For Mother’s Day, we suggest giving your wife or mother a piece of gemstone jewelry that represents your love. And no gemstone represents love more than red rubies like in our top-selling three-stone ring, CCR2558-P. This ring radiates with love and appreciation from the vibrant red rubies set in loving rose gold and wrapped in a protective round diamond halo. It is the perfect gift for the mom who will never stop caring for you.

Jewelry Gifts for Dog-Moms & Cat-Moms

PDD3146-1Y

Do not worry – we have not forgotten about our fur-mammas!

Not every woman wants a traditional family with children. For many modern women, their pets are their children. If you know any crazy cat-moms or dog-moms in your life, we have the purrrfect gift idea for them: our affordable 10 carat dog pendant (PDD3146-1Y) or cat pendant (PDD3145-1P). With a gift like this, the fur-mamma in your life will always feel like their pet is with them, even when they have to leave home. Animal pendants are simply adorable and sentimental at the same time!

Don’t Forget Your Alternative Moms

Remember, just like our dog-moms, not every mother is traditional. Aunts, grandmothers, family friends, or community members often take on the role of “mom” in many people’s lives. If you have one of these unconventional yet loving individuals who cared for you in your time of need, remember to appreciate them on Mother’s Day too. By spending the day with them and giving them a long-lasting gift like jewelry, these alternative mothers will know their time was not wasted. They will know you love them as much as they love you. And they will know that even though your birth mom couldn’t be around, at least they could be there to make your life happier!

And with that, Valina wishes all the magnificent moms out there a Happy Mother’s Day!
