Linneys Loves: Our guide to choosing the perfect Mother’s Day gift
Silver or gold? Hoop or stud? When it comes to choosing the perfect piece of Mother’s Day jewellery, there’s one question mum wants you to ask more than any other.
Birthdays, anniversaries, even Christmas: it all pales in comparison to Mother’s Day.
It’s the one day of the year just for mum, and no matter how many times she says it’s “just a day” or that she “doesn’t want anything”, you know better.
Because no gift is more anticipated—or more deserved—than the Mother’s Day gift.
So how do you show mum just how special and incomparable she really is? We’ve got a few secrets to share. Read on.
Hint one: it’s not about the gift, it’s what the gift says.
A good Mother’s Day gift should tell your mum you notice her (and all the things she does for you, too), so put some thought into it.
Have you heard her mention she’d like to learn to paint someday? Find a class or workshop you can attend together. The added gift of time spent with you will be remembered more than anything.
Have you seen how little time she has to herself? Drop her off at a spa for the day and in the meantime, prepare her favourite meal to celebrate her together over dinner.
Hint two: it should speak for more than a day, too.
Breakfast in bed is wonderful, but mum should feel celebrated year round.
And nothing makes someone feel special quite like a carefully selected piece of jewellery.
She’ll be reminded how treasured she is every time someone comments on how beautiful it is—and how thoughtful her children are.

So, silver or gold? Hoop or stud? There’s one question mum wants you to ask more than any. “Is it mum?”
Your opinion matters little: this one is all about mum.
Make it silver or gold
Take a close look at the jewellery your mum wears. Not the statement pieces she pulls out for a special occasion, the things she wears every day.
We usually gravitate towards either silver or gold—few of us wear both. Ensure the piece you select is the right colour to show mum how well you know her.

This delicate, vintage-style diamond band oozes old-world sophistication.
Make it a wardrobe staple
Showstopping pieces for special occasions are lovely, but Mother’s Day jewellery is best worn every day, not kept in its box for eternity.
Think classics like diamond studs and pearl drops, or French hooks, huggies, and hoops.
It doesn’t get more chic than a classic French hook.

Make it personal
Add an extra layer of meaning with a personal touch representative of yours and your mum’s relationship to really put a sparkle in her eye.
Whether it’s a birthstone to represent the month she was born or a necklace with a pendant for each of her children or grandchildren, if there’s ever a time to get sentimental, it’s Mother’s Day.
