Mother’s Day Jewelry Gift Guide
When it comes to getting moms a gift, you honestly can’t go wrong. Gift a beautiful hand-written note, she’ll cry with joy. Send flowers, she’ll look at them with a smile every time she walks by. Spend time, if you can, enjoying a meal together, and it’ll be the highlight of her day (I know it’s always mine!). But, if you want to buy her something she can wear and carry with her, something that reminds her of the special day and the special child in her life, there’s only one option… jewelry.
I put together a gift guide of some of the most precious and delicate pieces that any mama would be happy to receive. They all carry different meaning in terms of stones and metals and they range in price so there’s something for everyone. Whether it’s for your mom, your mom-in-law, your grandma, your aunt, your sister, your daughter, or yourself, I’m sure you’ll find something that is just right.
Canadian and proud, Jenny Bird makes supporting local super easy. Best known for being the “Queen of the Hoop,” each design is thoughtfully created to not only be fashionable and wearable, but actually comfortable and functional. I linked here a couple earrings for one reason only: every woman should own and wear a pair of hoops.

I’ve had a love affair with Summer Memories for a while and so when I was asked to collab on a collection, it took one quick breath to reply ‘yup, yea, yes!’ I was inspired to create pieces for Endless Summer by strolling down memory lane to this beautiful summer I spent in Panarea Island. Intimate, romantic, and utterly jaw-dropping, the island and these pieces all hold a piece of my heart. Timeless, yet trendy, each piece has real pearly and are in support of a local small business.
Birks is that go-to jewelry store that we all know and love, but reserve for those super special occasions – like this one! The Dare to Dream collection has the perfect pieces for that mama you want to splurge on. 18K gold, the Muse Tri-Gold Diamond Pendant Necklace is honestly what dreams are made of. The ring is a tri-combo of 18k yellow gold, rose gold and white gold, and let us not forget the band of .14ct square diamonds. Yup, like I said, when you let yourself dare to dream…
The Anzie Aztec 14K Gold North Star Micro Bar Necklace with Diamonds is the sweet spot of all fine jewelry. I am absolutely in love with the flawless design of this collection. Their prices are accessible which makes it easy to buy, gift and wear pieces that are real and on trend. I love this necklace and if you peruse their collection, some of the stackable rings or earrings are the perfect pairing.
Another local wonder is a brand that just popped up on my radar, Vojé: a female-owned, small business from right here in our very own Montreal. You noticing a trend on the local jewelry push, lol! Vojé has these beautiful precious stones in all their pieces, from rings to earrings and of course, some stunning bracelets. I love the story behind in each piece and the thoughtfulness that goes into the way they are each packaged. Any Vojé piece makes the perfect gift.

Myel is one of those brands that comes along once in a while and just has you standing in awe. The Myel pieces are all made with upcycled diamonds because it is the ethical and ecological choice – is that not music to your ears? I am obsessed with the Alphabet Pendants for so many reasons, but mostly because it’s personal. The boutique is on Laurier, but obviously they have an online shop, and you can use my promo code on any piece this Mother’s Day, just click here
Pandora. Need I say more? Just kidding, I’ll say a little something, but we all know and love Pandora because they are simply the real deal when it comes to all things jewelry. I love their layering sets that have been curated just for Mother’s Day. Cost-effective but still amazing quality, every piece is more special than the next. Trust me, just look around and you’ll be stacking up your cart in no time.

It’s true that us moms do so much and ask for so little. Honestly, a hug, a cuddle on the couch, a simple ‘thank you’ every once in a while, that’s all we need. But, it doesn’t hurt to get a beautiful little box (or sustainable bag, lol) with that special little something inside. Every time I wear a piece of jewelry that someone has gifted me, I am immediately reminded of that person and brought back to a memory. That is the power of jewelry. That’s what makes it so special. Happy Mother’s Day!
