The Mother's Day jewelry she will wear every day is simple, comfortable and personal: a custom nameplate with her name or her kids' names, small gold studs, classic hoops or a thin gold bracelet. Choose solid gold so it holds up to daily life, and order custom pieces early since they take 10 to 14 business days to make.
What makes a piece easy to wear every day?
Moms are busy. The jewelry that gets worn is the jewelry that does not get in the way. Look for:
-
No snagging. Smooth studs and hoops instead of long dangles that catch on sweaters or little hands.
-
Solid gold. 10K and 14K gold hold up to hand washing, cooking and everything else.
-
Goes with everything. Yellow gold in a simple shape works with work clothes and weekend clothes.
Is a nameplate necklace a good Mother's Day gift?
Yes, and it may be the most personal one. A few ideas:
-
Her own name in a script she loves.
-
"Mom" or "Mommy", or the word your family uses for her.
-
Her kids' names, for a mom who wants them close.
Every nameplate is made by hand in solid gold and made to order in 10 to 14 business days. Check the spelling twice. See nameplate styles

Which earrings should I get for mom?
-
Small studs. 10K gold CZ studs around 0.4 to 0.5 inches are the everyday choice. Shop studs
-
Medium hoops. Plain, bamboo or diamond-cut 10K hoops, many in a choice of sizes. Shop hoops
-
Meaningful studs. If faith matters to her, our Jesus and Last Supper studs are a thoughtful choice.
If she has sensitive ears, many people with sensitive ears do well with solid gold; ask us.
What about a bracelet?
A thin gold bracelet is easy to wear with a watch and does not need a ring size. A paper clip bracelet looks modern; a women's Cuban link bracelet is classic. Most women's bracelets are about 7 inches. If you are not sure, measure one she already wears. Shop bracelets

How do I care for gold jewelry she wears every day?
Share these with her, or tuck a note in the box:
- Take jewelry off before using cleaning products or swimming in chlorine.
- Wipe it with a soft cloth to bring back the shine.
- Wash gently with warm water and mild dish soap, then dry well.
- Store pieces separately so chains do not tangle and scratch.
