Mums are famously hard to buy for. They'll tell you they don't need anything, and they usually mean it. That's exactly why fine jewellery makes such a good Christmas gift for Mum: it's personal, it lasts, and it's something she probably wouldn't buy for herself. Here are our favourite ideas.
An eternity ring to celebrate the family
An eternity ring is a beautiful way to mark years of family life. Choose classic diamonds, or pick a gemstone that means something: sapphire for September, emerald for May, or the birthstones of her children. Our eternity and half-eternity rings come in full and half designs so she can wear them alone or stacked with her wedding ring.
A tennis bracelet she'll wear everywhere
Tennis bracelets are elegant enough for Christmas dinner and simple enough for every day. Our half-tennis designs, like the Half Sapphire and Diamond Tennis Paperclip Chain Bracelet, pair a line of stones with a fine gold chain for a softer, modern look.
Colourful gemstone jewellery
If Mum loves colour, a gemstone piece is a lovely change from diamonds. Blue and pink sapphires, emeralds and rubies are all hard enough to wear daily. Take a look at the Sapphire Flower Bracelet, or browse our gemstone jewellery.
Timeless studs and huggies
Diamond studs and small huggie earrings are the pieces most women wear every day, and they're an easy win when you're not sure of her taste. Shop our huggies and hoops.
A personalised necklace
A fine gold initial necklace with her initial or the initials of her children is simple, sentimental and very wearable. See the Personalised Dainty Initial Tag Necklace.
Tips for choosing jewellery for Mum
- Match her metal: check whether she mostly wears yellow, white or rose gold.
- Think comfort: low-profile settings like bezels and huggies are great for busy hands and everyday wear.
- Choose solid gold: all our pieces are solid 10ct, 14ct or 18ct gold and BIS hallmarked, so they won't tarnish or wear through like plated jewellery.
- Certified stones: lab-grown diamonds are IGI certified, moissanite GRA certified and natural diamonds GIA certified.
Order in time for Christmas
Every piece is made to order and dispatched within 4 working days, with free tracked delivery and taxes included. Order by Friday 11 December for delivery before Christmas, and enjoy free returns within 60 days.
