Let's get started ...


How to Choose the Best Jewellery for Your Mum

Every mum is unique, and her jewellery should reflect her personal style and taste. Before you start shopping, think about the type of jewellery she already wears and what she might love to add to her collection.

1. Classic & Elegant Mums

If your mum loves simple, timeless jewellery, opt for pieces that will never go out of style. Delicate gold necklaces or stud earrings will work beautifully. For something extra special, consider solid gold jewellery to add a touch of elegance to her look. If she prefers cooler colouring, then some elegantly simple sterling silver jewellery will be the go.

2. Bold & Creative Mums

For mums who love making a statement, go for something with more personality or a pop of vibrant colouring. Choosing a unique and striking statement necklace or statement earrings that she'll love to show off will be a treat for her. You might also consider choosing colourful gemstone jewellery, or large and ornate hoop earrings, all of which will help her to stand out in any crowd.

3. Sentimental Mums

Does your mum love gifts with meaning? Consider birthstone jewellery, symbolic jewellery or generally meaningful jewellery designs, which you can choose with thought and love. For classic and meaningful Mother's Day gifts, take a look at the chrysanthemum pieces in our Bouquet Flower Jewellery range: not only are chrysanthemum's associated with Mother's Day in Australia, but they also represent loyalty and love.

4. Australian Nature Loving Mums

For mums who love the outdoors, especially in Australia, then Australian flower-inspired jewellery can be a beautiful choice. Our unique Australian Flora Jewellery range is inspired by native flowers and plants. These designs in silver, gold and gemstones will make a truly thoughtful gift for mums who love gardening or just enjoy being outdoors.

Jewellery Gift Ideas for Other Mums in Your Life

Jewellery gifts aren't just for your own mum! If you're shopping for a step-mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, wife, sister - or even someone who is a mum-like figure in your life - here are a few ideas:

For Grandmothers

A little keepsake to let her know she's appreciated will mean the world to your grandmother. Consider pieces that suit her lifestyle and fashion choices, such as silver necklaces or gold earrings.

For Wives & Partners

Romantic pieces are a great choice for a spouse who is perhaps also a mother or step-mother. Think designs with heart or other jewellery with deep personal meaning. Take a look at our Romantic Jewellery Gifts for inspiration.

For Mums-to-Be or New Mums

A beautiful piece of jewellery can mark the transition into motherhood. A delicate pendant necklace or some elegantly simple birhtstone gold stud earrings will a wonderful keepsake. Keep in mind that new mums are likely to have a baby in their arms a lot of the time: beaded necklaces and dangly earrings may not be the best idea given babies like to grab sparkly things!

Why Jewellery Makes the Perfect Mother's Day Gift

Mother's Day is one of the most popular times of the year to give a meaningful jewellery gift. Jewellery is personal, sentimental, and lasts far beyond the day itself. It's something she can wear every day as a reminder of your love and of her family.

If you're shopping for Mother's Day jewellery gifts, consider pieces that feel extra special, such as Birthstone Jewellery, meaningful symbols, or timeless classics.

How to Make Your Gift Extra Special

Beyond choosing the perfect jewellery, how you present your gift can make all the difference:

  • Personalised Note: Add a heartfelt message with your gift.
  • Beautiful Packaging: Choose elegant gift wrapping and a greeting card for an extra special touch.
  • Attach to Some Flowers: Embed your jewellery gift in some flowers or attach it to the ribbon around them: even some hand-picked flowers from your garden will make your gift extra special.
  • Pair with an Experience: Plan a special day or outing to go along with the gift - you can even give your gift as part of the outing.
