Most are familiar with the more common Mom-themed jewelry, such as rings set with childrens birthstones or jewelry with the words, Mother or GrandMother spelled out on them. Delicate Mothers Day rings can be found with genuine stones set in a variety of metals, in addition to the 14k gold typically seen in the past. One might choose a birthstone band which can be personalized with alternating names and birthstones around the ring. A Mothers Day necklace might be made of Murano glass beads strung on 14K gold or sterling silver. Another options still might be a family pendant featuring stylized family members holding hands in a circle.

Whether you choose a traditional gift or something more unique, it is a good idea to take a good look at the type of jewelry your Mother wears and consider a few things prior to making your purchase:

1. Does Mom prefer jewelry made with white or yellow metals?

2. Does she like to wear stud earrings or perhaps she prefers short dangles?

3. Has she ever specifically stated interest in a particular type of jewelry?

4. Does she collect vintage jewelry?

If you would like to choose something less traditional for Mom, consider stackable rings, which can be set with one to three birthstones and engraved on each side. Stacked together, the rings can display Moms birthstone next to her childrens, or a special friend or spouse.
