Mother's aren't picky when in comes to mother's day jewelry. Anything from a husband or child is sure to bring happiness, even if it is in a color or style she isn't used to wearing. Below are some suggestions on mother's jewelry and how to find something she will like- even if it was coming from someone other than you!

Gemstones- What month was your mother born in? There is a wide variety of birthstones to choose from, not just limited to 12! For each month, there are usually at least 2 or 3 stones the month is associated with; modern stone, a historical stone, and an astrological stone.

Pearls- All women appreciate pearl jewelry, after all, pearls are one of the very few gemstones that relies completely on nature and cannot be improved upon by a cutters hand. Before purchasing, consider buying pearls that compliment your mother's complexion. Fair skin women look best with pink or ivory pearls, olive skin looks best with yellow and gold, while darker complexions look best with gold and vibrant colors such as oranges, and purples.

Lockets- In olden times, lockets contained a "lock" of hair and were worn by women who lost a child or by young boys. Today, lockets containing pictures, and flowers, in addition to hair are common gifts.

Rings- The most popular Mother's rings are birthstone rings, and can be personalized with engraving. The ring normally holds a combination of birthstones: the mother's and a child's, or all the birthstones of her children. There are also unique rings such as a band with tiny footprints, or a band of interlocking hearts holding semi-precious stones. Available styles include the swirl, cluster, star, "V", heart, and the bow.

Charm bracelets- These bracelets are fast becoming the most popular Mother's Day and birthday gifts, because they are interchangeable and can easily be added to. The charms themselves can be personalized with dates, names, and the like; and they make great collector's pieces.

Pendants- For the more artistic Mother, there are the contemporary, stylized pendants of a Mother and child embracing, or a family holding hands, which can be inset with gemstones. Also, for a unique twist, there is the Claddagh pendant, which is a Celtic design of two hands holding a heart, surmounted by a crown. This symbol has much significance, but at the basic level, it means loyalty and unconditional love.
