In the jewelry industry, Mother’s Day is the third biggest holiday of the year, right after Christmas and Valentine’s Day. During the week before Mother’s Day, the stores fill up with men desperate to find beautiful gifts for their wives, girlfriends, mothers, and grandmothers. Fortunately for them, they are in the right place. Here are some ideas for finding beautiful jewelry for all of the mothers in your life.

“Mom” Pendants

Pendants are the charms that hang from a necklace or chain. There are many different styles of pendants that are just perfect for Mother’s Day. The most popular is the mom pendant. This is a small gold pendant that simply says the word “mom,” “mother,” “nana,” or “grandma”. These are relatively inexpensive and can be a great idea if they suit the personal style of the mother you have in mind.

Heart Pendants

If the “mom” pendant does not seem to suit the taste of the woman in your life, another option is the heart pendant. A simple heart pendant is always appropriate, because it is a classic design and proclaims your love. For Mother’s Day, many stores carry special heart pendants with the silhouette of a mother and child. This is especially lovely for new mothers.

Mother and Child Cameos

Another beautiful option in Mother’s Day jewelry is the agate or coral cameo. Cameos have an old fashioned charm, and can be stunning in their intricate detail. They come in many styles, and with many images such as sunsets, religious images, and animals, but for Mother’s Day, the most appropriate choice would be the mother and child cameo. Most cameos are an oval shape, and are decorated with the carved detail of an image, such as the silhouetted face of a mother and child.

Charms

If the mothers in your life have charm bracelets, you can always get them appropriate charms as Mother’s Day gifts. Some ideas of charms for Mother’s Day would be the word “mom,” a heart with “mom” engraved on it, or charms in the shape of boys, girls, or babies. If the Mother’s Day gift is for a new mother, a charm such as a baby shoe, a stroller, a bonnet, or a baby bottle would be a cute idea.

Mother’s Rings

Finally, the most classic Mother’s Day jewelry gift is the mother’s ring. The mother’s ring is a yellow or white gold ring with the birthstones of all the mother’s children. If you are thinking of getting one of these rings for the special mother in your life, be sure to give yourself plenty of time, because they typically take at least a week to be special ordered by the jewelry store.

Finding beautiful Mother’s Day jewelry can be easy. Just be sure not to wait until the last minute, when everything is sold out.
