15 Jewels to Celebrate Mom in Style
This Amanda’s Style File picks the best Mother’s Day jewelry gifts.
Briony Raymond 18-karat yellow gold "“Mother Daughter” medallion set with aquamarines, emeralds, and diamonds ($12,500)
Moms. They are the taxi drivers, tear driers, lunch makers, hug givers, sports sideline cheerleaders, dance bow makers, and hard workers from sunup to sundown to give their kids the best future possible.
That’s the reason the nation celebrates Mother’s Day. It is the one day a year solely dedicated to showing appreciation for all the roles maternal figures play. Those roles don’t stop when children are grown and aren’t restricted to biological or immediate families.
To show the love and appreciation for all moms and mom-like women everywhere, we turn to jewelry.
Precious and eternal, just like the bond between a mother and her children, jewelry is a natural way to celebrate moms.
The jewelry in this edition of Amanda’s Style File shows the wide variety of ways designers are crafting jewelry to become instant family heirlooms.
