The ultimate guide to choosing the perfect jewellery gift for Mother’s Day
Do you ever feel you don’t get it quite right when you buy jewellery for your mom? With Mother’s Day just around the corner, you may feel at a loss for gift ideas. This year, try giving her a piece of jewellery that truly speaks to her taste and lifestyle. Here are a few tips to help you avoid common mistakes people make when buying jewellery for Mom.
Get the size right
Giving your mom an ill-fitting gift can be awkward and disappointing. You may be able to sneak a peek at her jewellery collection or guess at her ring size, but that’s not always practical. When it comes to rings — and even some bracelets — it’s best not to take a chance. Choose items with a flexible fit, like a wrap-style ring or an adjustable bracelet. Necklaces and earrings are safe choices, with enough design options to suit any mother’s taste or style preferences.
Consider her accessibility needs
Have you ever heard your mother express frustration about a finicky necklace clasp? If your mom experiences chronic pain or has diminished fine motor skills, she needs jewellery that’s compatible with her physical constraints. Mother’s Day could be the perfect time to introduce her to fabulous easy-wear pieces like necklaces and bracelets with toggle-clasp closures. If she likes earrings, try fish hook or threader designs.
Resist the urge to impose your taste on her
When you’re buying a gift for mom, it’s sometimes tempting to buy her jewellery you think will look good on her without considering whether she’ll want to wear it. It’s best to save the makeover for a day when you have a few hours to spend quality time together. For Mother’s Day, choose a gift that speaks to her taste and expresses her unique personality, whether she’d prefer a traditional locket or a cute watering can bracelet charm.
Keep her lifestyle in mind
Some jewellery looks beautiful in theory but doesn’t work in practice. Your mom probably has multiple pieces of jewellery that she cherishes but never wears because they’re not compatible with her activities. She may prefer a more functional gift, like a jewellery box or a watch. A Swarovski pen is a fabulous way to combine flair with function.
