Mother's Day and Mother's Rings

Each of us knows a woman whose influence has shaped our lives. Someone who taught us to walk, to speak, to laugh, to love. Mother's Day is a chance to honor those women—mothers, grandmothers, or anyone who has filled a motherly role—and express our gratitude for the many ways they have given of themselves.

While there have always been traditions celebrating motherhood, the modern Mother’s Day was established through the efforts of Anna Maria Jarvis in 1907, who commemorated the passing of her own mother. Just a few years later, in 1914, Mother’s Day became an official holiday in the United States, observed on the second Sunday in May. Ever since, families have marked the day with heartfelt gestures, thoughtful gifts and lasting tokens of love.

Jewelry that Tells Her Story

Bouquets fade and chocolates disappear, but jewelry can hold memories for a lifetime. That’s why Mother’s Day jewelry has become a cherished tradition, with designs that celebrate the beauty of motherhood and the unique story of each family.

Birthstones are at the heart of many of these designs. More than just colorful accents, birthstones symbolize the deep, lasting bond between a mother and her children. Whether showcased in a classic Mother's Ring, a personalized necklace, or a charm-filled bracelet, birthstones transform jewelry into something truly meaningful. Design with ring settings, birthstones, charms and more.

Mother's Rings and Beyond

The Mother’s Ring has long been a treasured keepsake, designed to represent a mother’s love through carefully selected birthstones. Traditionally made by joining two bands with settings for each child’s birthstone, these rings can be tailored to reflect any family story.

For example, a Mother’s Ring with three stones might symbolize three children, a parent-child trio with two parents’ birthstones flanking the child’s, or grandparents raising a grandchild. Today, there are Mother's Rings designed for families of all sizes, with settings for two to seven stones—or more. The options are as varied and beautiful as the families they represent. 

Design Beyond the Ring

The sentiment behind Mother's Rings doesn’t have to stay on her hand. Many designers are expanding the idea of personalized Mother’s Day jewelry with charm bracelets featuring birthstone charms for each child or grandchild, creating a wearable, jingling reminder of the ones she loves.

Pendant necklaces are another meaningful option, combining birthstones with engraved name tags, initials, or symbols that keep her family close to her heart. For a more subtle statement, earrings with complementary birthstones offer a beautiful and sentimental touch. These thoughtful designs make perfect gifts for Mother’s Day, offering lasting ways to honor the women who give so much of themselves, year after year.

Something She'll Treasure

Mother’s Day jewelry is more than beautiful—it’s meaningful. Whether designing a traditional ring, a personalized necklace or a bracelet bursting with birthstones, these pieces serve as lasting reminders of love, connection and family.
