Say "thank you" this Mother's Day!

Every May, we devote a Sunday to celebrating our mothers - flowers, brunch, cards, and the ever-important gift of jewelry.  One of the reasons that jewelry is such a wonderful Mother's Day present (for moms, mothers-in-law,aunts, grandmothers, or any special women in our lives) is because it can be treasured for years to come and passed on from one generation to another.  Whether you choose a bracelet, a necklace, a pin, or a ring, giving jewelry shows that you care enough to put the time, effort, and consideration into finding something special that reflects Mom's personality and taste.  Here are a few of the pieces that we love for Mother's Day:

This stainless steel cable bracelet features a "stirrup" pave set with black diamonds and two rondels on either side of the clasp pave set with white diamonds.  The "hook" is also pave set with diamonds, and the entire bracelet has a white gold finish.  The bracelet is also available in yellow gold, rose gold, and black rhodium finishes.  It's a stylish look at a great price.

We custom make these reversible flower earrings in a variety of colors (shown here in sky blue topaz and iolite).  This is our own design and can be done using mom's favorite colors, kids' birthstones, or any other combination that you like.  To make the earrings even more versatile, create two that match and one reversed, in a set of three.  Then you can decide how to wear them, depending on your outfit or mood.  We make the earrings in sterling silver or 14k white or yellow gold, and use a wide variety of semiprecious stones, including blue topaz, iolite, amethyst, citrine, tourmaline, peridot, and garnet.  Have fun with it!  

The heart necklace is a classic for a reason.  This sparkly diamond heart pendant is fixed on a white gold cable chain and can be worn with jeans and a tank top while running errands or with a little black dress for a night out.  Think of it as a grown-up version of the Mother's Day cards covered in hearts that you used to make with construction paper and crayons when you were a kid.

Did you know? "The driving force behind Mother's Day was Anna Jarvis, who organized observances in Grafton, W.Va., and Philadelphia on May 10, 1908. As the annual celebration became popular around the country, Jarvis asked members of Congress to set aside a day to honor mothers. She finally succeeded in 1914, when Congress designated the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day." (www.census.gov).
