Mother’s Day is fast approaching, and it’s high time to settle on that perfect gift that your mom undoubtedly deserves. And while a carefully curated bouquet of flowers or a big box of chocolates is satisfying in the short term, a delicate piece of jewelry is the lasting alternative to such ephemeral options. Whether it’s a statement pair of earrings, a simple bracelet with an unexpected twist, or an eye-catching ring, there are plenty of lustrous options that will stand the test of time—and that won’t break the bank.
If your mother’s been on the hunt for a new pair of earrings that show off her whimsical side, then opt for either Alighieri’s dramatic, Dante’s Inferno-invoking pair, made of amber-gold-plated bronze and topped off with a stunning Baroque pearl, or Leigh Miller’s playful “Doodad Dangles” earrings, inspired by Alexander Calder’s mobiles. If your mother is more inclined toward dainty necklaces, then Pascale Monvoisin’s turquoise piece will be a colorful addition to her jewelry box, while Onda’s simpler necklace comprised of polished little silver stones will be a more subdued option. Mom with a wicked sense of humor? The silver “MILF” necklace will do the trick. No matter what your mother’s style is, there’s a jewelry option below that will strike her fancy—all of which are priced under $500.
