Diamond and Pearl Pendant

Think of the thousands of school uniforms that your mum ironed, the endless mum’s-taxi rides and the ……. you get the picture. It’s a lot of thank-less work that mum gives to get you from baby to adult. So now’s the time to thank mum for everything she’s done for you. And of course, let’s not forget about the love!

Blue Topaz Yellow Gold Huggie Earrings

Pandora Chalcedony Hoop Earrings

Black Pearl Necklace

Fancy Yellow Natural Diamond Ring

Georgini Cubic Zirconia Bubbles bracelet

Diamonds and pearls are quite elegant and conservative! The pearl and diamond pendant at right is perfect for classical mothers, with a huge 9.5mm fresh water pearl and three white diamonds. It is a simple piece, but very high quality – the pearls are highly graded, diamonds are in the upper reaches of color and clarity ranges, and the white gold they are set on is 18ct.

Earrings are a neat and sweet gift for Mother’s Day also, with options for every budget and the opportunity to wear different ones each day. The topaz and yellow gold huggie earrings at right have some lovely rich colors, proving that ‘classical’ doesn’t have to mean ‘boring’. You’ll be looking for a cropped hoop or huggie style earring for classical women, and these are perfect with a huggie section of only 11mm. The topazes are brilliant cut, and the gold is 9ct for affordability.

Pandora is a range of many different personalities, and the chalcedony hoop earrings at right sit firmly in the ‘traditional’ end of the scale for Pandora. Chalcedony is quite an unusual stone to see in jewelry nowadays. However, several decades ago it was commonly used for cameos, an elegant heirloom type piece that mostly the upper classes indulged in. Your Mum can have some of that confidence and refinement with these sparkling yet subtle earrings.

The black pearl necklace at right finds a home in the bridesmaid’s jewelry section, but is perfect for everyday wear also. It sits high around the throat, in a regal style, at only 41cm long. The pearls are all 7 to 7.5mm in diameter, apart form the centre pearl which is 8.5-9mm. You’d think all those pearls would break the bank … but you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the price! Don’t forget that free shipping, and the fact that this is a necklace rather than a pendant.

If this is a special year for your Mum, or you are just feeling extra grateful for all of her hard work over the years (you should be!), check out some of the luxury gifts on site like the fancy coloured natural diamond ring, with a yellow princess cut diamond at the centre along with two unique tapered baguette cut white diamonds. They are set in an ultra slimline 2mm band made of 18ct gold. The sizing is best for slim fingers. One of the best things about this ring, though, is that despite its dainty size it comes with the option of engraved messages inside the band! You’ll have to be brief , but your Mum will love something personal from you.

However, you don’t need to spend a million dollars to help your Mum feel like a million dollars. A kiss and a couple of words about how much you appreciate her will do that, and a cute and classical piece of jewellery at the same time helps her carry around the sentiment even when you’re not there. The Georgini cubic zirconia bracelet at right is a great way to do that. Its clear, sparkling stones are subtly classical … and let’s face it, look quite a bit like an impressive row of diamonds! The bracelet is 18cm long and features free shipping.
