Mother’s Day is just around the corner (May 12th lest you forget!) but don’t panic, there is still plenty of time to get your super-mom something thoughtful and personable. A handmade coupon for ten minutes of cuddles was absolutely adorable when you were six, but if you’re past that age and reading this then please, keep going.

Vogue’s Guide to Best Custom Mother’s Day Jewelry

Mother’s day gifting can be tricky: depending on the type of mother or mother figure you’re shopping, some categories are really off limits. My own mother doesn’t like anything scented (so that’s a no to candles, bath products, and lotions of any kind); doesn’t love champagne and already has her favorite rotation of handbags and scarves. Flowers are delightful, breakfast in bed is a real treat and even the aforementioned cuddle coupon would be much appreciated, but the super mother in your life deserves something a bit more…tangible. Something thoughtful that sparkles and twinkles might just make her day. A personalized piece of jewelry is the perfect way to show your mother (or a mother-to-be, mother-in-law, grandmother, dog-mother…) just how much you care. Below are some of the best options in each category.

Necklaces

If your mother’s approach to accessorizing is minimal, then a simple initial necklace is ideal— either your own or hers would be the perfect daily reminder of her loved ones. If she’s in the “more is merrier” camp, then think about layering a few name necklaces together like Roxanne First’s or Jennifer Meyer’s. For something more unexpected, Zahava’s calendar charm can be customized to represent a special date.

Bracelets

Help your mother build the ultimate arm party: I love the look of Marlo Laz’s nameplate cuff bracelets layered up with all her loved ones’ names or Phoebe Philo’s chunky “mum” bracelet for the mother with her finger on the fashion pulse. For a more subtle approach, a delicate script bracelet is sure to please any mama.
