Thoughtful and enduring, jewellery is the perfect Mother’s Day gift.
If you’re looking for something more long-lasting than flowers, chocolates or candles, you may be better off with necklaces, earrings, rings or bracelets will live in your mum’s jewellery box for years to come, reminding her of what a good child you are every time she fastens the clasp.
Whether she’s partial to a touch of glitz, has an eclectic collection that looks like it could have been plucked from a Moroccan flea market or likes to keep it classic with simple, delicate stacking pieces, we’ve sought out the best designs from independent brands that any mum would be happy with on March 19.
Our top tip? Go for precious metals like gold or sterling silver, as opposed to brass, because they’re more likely to stand the test of time without tarnishing or leaving green marks in their wake. For pieces brimming with sentimentality, you could look at brands that offer engraving, choose a pendant for a necklace or charm for a bracelet that’s personal to her or even treat her to an alphabet or star sign option.
