Looking for a unique and sentimental gift for Mother’s Day this year? Move over petrol garage flowers, it’s time to source special gifts full of meaning and memories!
Jewellery is a great choice when it comes to gifting for Mothering Sunday, as it is a purchase they may not treat themselves to and will last long after the day itself.
Whether you’re looking for the perfect present for your own Mum or grandmother, shopping for sentimental gifts from the kids for your wife or thinking about treating a close Mum-to-be friend, in this Mother’s Day Gift Guide we will help you find something special for the mother figure in your life.
Fashionable gifts for trendy Mums
For fashion-conscious Mum’s or stylish Grans, jewellery can be a great way to channel the trends and add some pizzazz to their outfits.
According to Pinterest Predicts, brooches are having a real moment this year. Finding a beautiful brooch is perfect for fashion savvy Mum’s. Go for antique or vintage for a truly one-of-a-kind gift for a one in a million Mum!
Another jewellery trend for 2026 is multicoloured gemstones. A vibrant option for colourful and creative Mum’s, rainbow gemstone jewellery will add excitement and sparkle to everyday outfits or a statement to evening wear. Make it even more personal by selecting birthstones as your gemstones. You can choose her birthstone, or her children’s to make it extra special and meaningful.
To get the most out of these pieces, look for jewellery that balances trends with timelessness, that can add a special touch to their wardrobe. The key with following trends is to select variations that can be adapted season after season to ensure you can be sustainable and stylish. Investing in antique jewellery pieces that are both timeless and trend-forward will help to create a jewellery collection that stands the test of time.
Luxury jewellery gifts for Mother’s Day
Treat your mum to a little luxury this Mother’s Day, she deserves it! What’s more luxurious and special than diamonds? As Marilyn Monroe said, they are a girl’s best friend, after all.
A traditional, hardwearing material, diamond jewellery is hardy enough for daily wear while also adding a touch of class and elegance, making them the perfect gift for maternal figures.
Choose classic diamond stud earrings for a timeless gift that can be dressed up or down, and are subtle enough for everyday wear (make sure Mum removes them if she goes swimming though!).
Wear your heart on your sleeve with bracelets or bangles for Mother’s Day
From sleek, modern bangles, to delicate gemstone bracelets or charm bracelets, wrist jewellery are a versatile option allowing personal style to shine through. They can be worn alone for a dainty look or stacked to make a statement.
Often overlooked when it comes to building a jewellery collection, wrist jewellery like cuffs, watches, bangles and bracelets can be layered or switched out depending on the occasion. They also make a great gift, as most of the time they have adjustable sizing options, meaning you won’t have to return or resize the gift.
Precious metals for precious people
While flowers and chocolates are some of the most popular gifts given on Mother’s Day, they don’t last very long. Instead, look for a gift that will keep both their sentimental and physical value.
Gifting jewellery made from precious metals, like gold or even silver, will mean they will last a very long time, not just on Mother’s Day.
Looking after jewellery well, by storing it safely and regularly cleaning it, will help to ensure precious jewellery will last and be able to be enjoyed for many years to come – or even passed down to future generations and become an heirloom of the future!
Lockets of love
With a rich history of holding sentimental and special belongings, lockets are a perfect gift for grandmothers on Mother’s Day.
For an extra special touch, pre-fill the locket with a small token of love as an additional surprise for the recipient. Lockets are perfect for holding mini family photographs, handwritten notes, small charms or other tiny trinkets and mementos that mean something to the wearer.
Make it personal
Personalised gifts are a perfect way to let your loved ones know how much you care about them. By specially selecting something that is personal to them, will mean they’re likely to love it even more.
Personalisation can come in many forms, from engraving to birthstones. For a subtle, stylish and sparkling gift for Mother’s Day, try a diamond initial pendant and choose from their initial or their children’s – or layer multiple on different chain lengths!
Matching jewellery for Mum’s and daughters
Your biggest inspiration from day one, teaching you life lessons and being there for you on all the milestone moments, your mum is one special lady. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so why not treat the pair of you to a special matching jewellery piece.
Whether you want matching necklaces, bracelets or earrings, choose classic styles to ensure they suit both of your styles. For example, you could select a common motif, like these diamond dragonfly studs and diamond dragonfly pendant.
Alternatively, you could opt for similar but not exact jewellery that gives a nod to each other. Choose a diamond tennis bracelet for Mum and treat yourself to diamond hoop earrings.
Final Thoughts
Make Mother’s Day special this year with a thoughtful gift that shows your appreciation for the maternal presences in your life. Giving the gift of jewellery will give your recipient many moments of joy and ample opportunities to enjoy their present for many years to come.
When selecting a sentimental gift, remember to keep in mind their style and their preferred metal, and try adding a personal touch, in the form of initials birthstones.
