“This strong vintage silhouette from the 1980s in 18K gold is elegant, timeless and bold—similar to the qualities you find in your mom, making it a befitting gift for Mother’s Day. It is set with six round cabochon sapphires which has a meaning of loyality, adding to the symbolism of the bracelet. It will easily become ‘mom’s’ signature piece”

“ For the mom who loves gardening and/or flowers but would also like to wear them in precious metals, why not think about gifting these versatile Vine Hoops in a timeless graduated silhouette. The lightweight feel make them ideal for everyday wear, yet the diamond and enamel details will set them apart from any other earrings she already owns.”

Pearls are one of the enduring gifts you can give your mom, daughter, sister or grandmother. Realizing she might already own a classic strand of pearls or drop earrings; I have reimagined the tennis necklace with half pearls for a refreshing take on a iconic piece.”
Gina Ferranti/ Gigi Ferranti
“Combining soft and strong colors, my goal was to capture the essence of women in a limited edition piece in my 14K gold Mosaic collection. This one with a pink opal heart cabochon also speaks to the sentiment of love, with floral appliques set with a vibrant blue sapphire, tsavorite garnet and diamond, my idea of the perfect Mother’s Day gift.”

Shari Cohen/Seal & Scribe
“Cast in 18K gold from an antique c.1700’s Georgian-era seal, this coat of arms features a Bear (quite rare in heraldic seals) topped off with a flowing ribbon and bow. It is a wonderful way to honor the Mama Bear in someone very special! It is surrounded by white diamonds set Georgian-style.”

“Our 14K, three-sided combination lock is available on an 18″ belcher chain with each side of the lock representing the same sentiment in a different language – the Roman alphabet, Victorian symbols, and Braille (which was also created during the Victorian era). When the letters and symbols are lined up to reveal the secret message, the lock will open; the secret messages scrambled secure the lock on the wearer’s neck Our MAMA lock has four symbols of items traditionally representative of motherhood; a swallow for safe home, a compass to help us navigate our way, an acorn as a symbol of strength and a crescent moon for female empowerment.”

Tiffany Bartolacci/Borgioni
“Since the beginning I have designed the collection with my Mother, Rhonda and now my daughter, 12 year-old Harley Rose has joined the team, at least with one design that was in keeping with our aesthetic. She drew out these spiked huggies and she continued working with me from the next steps to the finished design. The fact that she is the third generation to create for Borgioni renders them a gift for the daughter to give to her edgy mom or vice versa. It is available in 18K rose, yellow or white gold with baguette diamonds.”
Maria Carola Picchiotti-Marketing Director/Picchiotti
“These 18K white gold diamond drop earrings feature floral halos surrounding the four petal clusters at center to create a cheerful smattering of flowers and a charming openwork design. These eternal flowers for Mom will never fade.”

Sam Mee/ The Antique Ring Boutique
“This circa 1970 ring features a horizontally set oval-cut emerald with vibrant green tones and excellent transparency. It is accompanied by square-cut diamonds, set flush in a single row either side of the emerald, the birthstone of May. It would be a doubly appropriate gift for the special woman in your life born during this month. It also is a ring that has a modern vibe and works with a contemporary wardrobe for the sophisticated mom on the go.”
Lindley Gray/Lindley Gray
“This solid recycled 14K yellow gold cuff with seven prong set gemstones is available in green amethyst, white topaz, aquamarine, green tourmaline, pink tourmaline, amethyst, citrine or peridot. Choose or customized with your Mother’s birthstone for a bracelet she will wear and cherish in a stack or by itself.”
