Mother’s Day: Make it special

As Mother’s Day approaches we’re wondering how to celebrate the person who’s ‘mum’ to you. Make them feel special this Mother’s Day with a personal piece of jewellery that celebrates them.

Celebrating the person who is ‘mum’ to you

Mother’s Day isn’t about one idea of motherhood, it’s about celebrating the person who has been ‘that person’ to you. Helping, guiding, nurturing you through life. Celebrating your wins and supporting you through your losses. Whoever that is for you, celebrate them. And if they also happen to like jewellery, we’ve got a few ideas on how to do that. Have a read below and if you need more information, you'll find our full Mother's Day selection here.

Make your Mother’s Day gift special: Make it personal

The single most important thing about any jewellery gift is to make it personal. Receiving jewellery is always a joy. But if you want to make Mother’s Day really special, make your gift personal. Show how much you know the person you’re buying for and everything you love about them. Celebrate a memory you share, or choose a piece that has personal meaning.

Here’s how:

Add to their favourite collection

Do they already have a cherished collection, like a Thomas Sabo charm collection, or Nomination bracelet - that you can add to? Maybe they love Annie Haak bracelets, or collect Daisy London or Coeur de Lion jewellery? If so, that makes gift buying a lot easier, because there are so many beautiful designs to choose from. Just make sure you don’t duplicate!

Choose something they love

Is there a place, person or thing that your loved one adores? A symbol that means something personal to them or to you both? Angels, stars, hearts or shells, for instance, are all symbols that can have great personal meaning. They can say many things, depending on who is giving and receiving the gift. Different gemstones also have different meanings and birthstones, initials and zodiac jewellery. Kit Heath’s Signature Script initials, for instance, can be combined to celebrate all the important people in someone’s life. Choose letters to represent spouses, children or grandchildren.

Moments and memories

Choose a piece of jewellery that ignites a memory, or celebrates a particular event, like charms, for instance. There are hundreds of designs to choose from, celebrating every kind of interest and life event. But you can also spark memories in more abstract ways through colour, symbols and gemstones. A colour that reminds you of a place you explored together, for instance. Or a gemstone that has a particular meaning. Sarah Alexander’s gemstone jewellery, for example, is designed to evoke far away places. While Annie Haak’s gemstone bracelets are the perfect personal accessory in a birthstone or symbolic colour.

Happy Mother’s Day: Say it with flowers

They say you can’t go wrong with flowers and the same goes for floral inspired jewellery. There are plenty of pretty flowery designs to choose from. Featuring all kinds of botanical beauties, from traditional roses to sunflowers and daisies. That's not to say that a traditional gift has to be old fashioned. Flowers continue to be a hot trend in jewellery, which means there are plenty of modern designs to choose from too. 

Tie it up in a bow

If your Mother’s Day person is one of those people who doesn’t like flowers, why not try bows instead? Unwrapping a gift is always special, which is why a bow motif brings so much happiness. We love Swarovski’s Volta collection. Bringing together sparkle and joy, all tied up in a beautiful bow. 

Hearts and stars, the Mother’s Day staple

We’ve already mentioned symbols, but we should probably give particular mention to these two. Because if you don’t feel confident choosing a more personal symbol, a piece of jewellery with hearts or stars conveys a simple message on Mother’s Day. They say ‘I love you’ and ‘you’re special’ in a beautifully simplistic way. Which, to be honest, is sometimes all you need to say. 

From a single star to a whole galaxy, there are many different celestial offerings out there, but we love Kit Heath’s glorious designs. When it comes to hearts, the choice is wide and varied. Every designer has their own take on this symbol, from the traditional locket by Clogau to the stackable joy that is Annie Haak’s bracelets.
