Gifts To Celebrate Mom On Her Special Day
This gift guide is a celebration of the women who have been there to raise us and root for us, pass on their strength, compassion and empathy. These are the women who taught us independence and to believe in ourselves. They instilled in us the confidence that we could be whatever we wanted and taught us to go after it. When we were sad –they braided our hair or rubbed our backs and when we accomplished big things they cheered for us. Sure we disagreed with them and sometimes rebelled but we always knew that they would be there for what we needed—they represented the comfort of knowing we had someone with whom we could be ourselves and be accepted. They are our Mothers, Grandmothers, sometimes our sisters and or our aunts—any woman who helped us grow into the women we are proud we have become. They are, as I have said in articles before—the real gems in our lives—and for them we choose jewels that will make them smile, that might complement their styles or their existing jewelry wardrobes but mostly to show we honor them on their day, Mother’s Day. And we hope that they will wear these pieces with the same intent they were given as a keepsake of the love we feel and know that we are thinking of them, they are in our hearts- whether they are near or far this year– and that they will always be our home.
Here a range of designers talk about why they choose the piece they did as a gift for this Mother’s Day:
Emily Keifer/Emily Keifer
Emily Keifer Modern Acrostic Ring, spelling MOM in 10K gold with moonstone, opal, moonstone
“I share Mother’s Day with my Mom every year. It is our day together. I decide to design a a modern acrostic ring spelling out MOM as acrostics hark back to the most sentimental terms of endearment and I wanted to design something for Mother’s Day that I would want to give to my own mom—a highly personal, private way to symbolize that she is and will be with me always!”
Thea Miller/DRU. Jewelry
Call Your Mom ID Bracelet in14K yellow gold with white diamond accents.
“With the pandemic and safer-at-home orders around the world, we have been missing our mothers and they have been missing us. This bracelet brings both humor and sentimentality to this time in our lives. It is the perfect gift for a mother to give her daughter, whose also a mom—for now she can truly appreciate the message and pass both the bracelet and the saying along to the next generation if she has a daughter of her own.”

Emily Hirsh/ Talon
Talon 14K Gold Dusk Dragonfly pendant
“The Dusk Dragonfly represents the transformation we achieve after true self-reflection. This allows us to also understand a deeper meaning of life. Mothers, including myself, often go through many changes during their child’s life and also gain more insight into themselves and their kids. This is a meaningful pendant as a gift for Mother’s Day because it represents the strong spirit of the woman you are celebrating that guides her through life transitions.”

Yokabid Worku /Yoki Collection
Yoki Collection 18K gold Fasik earrings
“Inspired by a marine plant moving gracefully underwater with flickers of light bouncing off its stem giving energy of the sun into the marine world. Light is depicted through the round cut diamonds, all set in white gold. The lush greenery of the seaweed is captured through the sparkly round cut natural colored tsavorites when set in blackened gold. The asymmetrical arrangement of the leaves and the structure of the piece portray movement. These earrings are a lovely choice for any woman who held a very important role in one’s life — as this piece symbolizes hope and new beginning which exemplifies the nurturing and cheering side of unconditional love.”

Kathryn Giarratano /Layla G
Layla G 14K gold ‘Raise The Bar’ bangle with diamond or can be customized with any gemstone.
“My ‘Raise The Bar Bangle’ in 14K gold creates a delicate layering bracelet with subtle symbolism. It whispers the meaning rather than shouts it out which is more personal for both the giver and receiver of the gift. It can be customized for a mother or grandmother with a number of stones for acrostics that spell out the first letter of terms of endearment such as love or regard or gemstones to represent birthstones of family members. I personally wear this bangle nearly every day with 4 diamonds to represent my husband, myself, and our two daughters”
