#1: OBSERVE AND STUDY YOUR MOM’S STYLE

Many women who adore jewelry favor some pieces over others. Pick an item that will coincide with your mother’s taste. Take note of whether your mom wears earrings, necklaces, rings, and bracelets, or a combination of these! A good way to do this is to study the trends she follows in other pieces she owns. Does she show a preference for bold and outspoken options or something a bit more delicate and subtle?

Think about the metal type and finish your mother prefers. Is she fond of conventional yellow gold, or does she like silver-tone metals better? This will help you decide between white and yellow gold designs you come across. You may also consider choosing precious metals like palladium and platinum.

#2: CONSULT WITH YOUR FAM

Few things warm a mother’s heart more than a present that brings her children together – your mom will love knowing that you picked this gift out for her together. Then, of course, there’s the added bonus for you of getting to split the bill. So, hit up your siblings. Mother’s Day is a perfect holiday to buy a gift together, with the added benefit of a bigger budget. Talk to your brothers and sisters, and see if they want to go in with you on a lovely piece of jewelry for mom.

#3: DETERMINE YOUR BUDGET

The next step is to decide how much you want to spend. Even if your mom may still bring up the handwritten card in crayon that you made her in third grade, it’s still a good idea to get her a little something now that is reasonable but won’t break your bank account. Fortunately, there are beautiful options in all price ranges that will dazzle your mom.

#4: CHECK OUT OPTIONS ONLINE AND ON PINTEREST

Once you get a handle on your mother’s style and set the budget, start checking out jewelry stores’ websites. Beginning your shopping online gives you an idea of the type of piece your budget will buy, helps you narrow down the search to key pieces, and saves you tons of time. Be sure to also look at Pinterest for some amazing ideas. Often times you will find unique options which you can show a jeweler for them to locate a similar piece.

Here are some popular Mother’s Day gifts:

• Diamond earrings – Not only are diamonds brilliant and classic, but you can find earrings to fit almost any style and budget.

• Ruby necklace – Red is a color that signifies love. What better stone to show your mom just how much she means to you? Choose a ruby and diamond heart-shaped pendant for a more traditional style, or a gorgeously modern ruby and diamond cluster if your mother prefers a more modern look.

• Gold – Simple and elegant, gold shines in earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings alike. Your mom will be able to wear it with a simple pair of pants and shirt, or with the fanciest of dresses. Gold is also easy to care for and available in many different price points.

• Pearls – Another luxurious classic sure to delight your mom, pearls are exquisite in many sizes and mountings. Simple pearl earrings or a double pearl bracelet will end up adorning your mom for years to come.

• Birthstone – Think about the month your mother was born, and check out the options for a gift with her birthstone.

#5: VISIT SOME JEWELRY STORES

After you’ve gathered a few ideas online, it’s time to hit the streets. Choose a jewelry store that is reputable and has been in business for a long time. Don’t leave your mother’s gift to a fly-by-night online store with dubious guarantees and zero customer service. Explain your mother’s style and your budget, or even show the example you found while researching on Pinterest. The sales associate be able to show you the pieces they have that fit your ideas or they may be able to order something for you.
