Every day should be a day worthy of celebrating mums, but one day a year we try a little harder to make her feel extra special! So, when is Mother's Day this year? In the UK Mother's Day will be held on Sunday 19th March (in the US it will be on Sunday 14th May).
We all have our trusty go-to gifts for our mums - whether that be chocolates, flowers or champagne - but one thing is for sure; jewellery has been and will always be a hugely popular Mother's day present. And it makes sense. Long after the flowers have died and the champagne has been drunk, the jewellery is still there to be admired day after day.
However, choosing the perfect piece of jewelry for Mother's Day can be a daunting task. How does one go about picking something so personal? Here are some ideas to help you find the perfect jewellery present for your loved one:
Consider her personal style
Take note of the type of jewellery she usually wears, whether it's dainty and understated or bold and statement-making. This will give you a good starting point for selecting a piece she'll love. You may love the 'barely-there' skinny stacking rings you've been eyeing up, but if she tends to wear flashy show-stoppers then perhaps it's best to keep the skinnies for yourself!
Think about her favourite colours
If you know your mum's favourite colours, consider selecting a piece of jewelry that features those hues - this will really show that you put some thought into the gift. The most obvious way to do so is by searching for a jewellery piece that features a coloured stone, but you can also look for enamelled focal points, coloured clay charms or beaded details.
Consider the occasion
Mother's Day is a special day for treats and luxuries, but don't get too carried away with all that glitters! Some mothers might prefer a more casual, everyday piece of jewelry.
Think about her interests
If your mum loves gardening, consider a floral-inspired piece of jewelry. Our 'Growing' necklace is the perfect jewellery present for gardening mums! If she's a traveller, consider a piece with a globe or compass motif. If she's a beach lover, perhaps our Pembrokeshire shell necklace will make the ideal ocean themed present. We even have a necklace that is perfect for lovers of snakes and reptiles - this snake necklace is a mix of both vintage and modern. Think outside of the box!
Personalise her Mother's Day jewellery gift
Consider personalising the piece of jewelry with your mum's initials, birthstone, or a meaningful message to make it extra special. Imprinting your own fingerprint onto a pendant is another popular way of creating a personalised jewellery piece.
Pay attention to quality
Choose high-quality materials and craftsmanship to ensure that the jewellery will last for years to come. Don't have the budget for solid gold? Not to worry, brass and bronze jewellery offer the same warm colours without the hefty price tag. Make sure to take note of any allergies your mum might have to certain metals, and make sure to avoid them.
Consider the packaging
Presentation is key, so make sure the jewellery is presented in a beautiful box or pouch. Simply adding a bow around the jewellery box can be enough to make it really special.
Don't forget to include a heartfelt note
Don't forget the card! Ultimately, a personal, handwritten card expressing your love and appreciation for your mum will make the gift even more special!
Gifts for mums who love art
Is your mum an art addict? If yes, you're in the right place! Perhaps an original Melyn Prints art piece will impress her! With boho, vintage-inspired colours and designs, they'll be sure to brighten up her day (and walls!).
