Opt for High-Quality Jewellery

When choosing jewellery for Mother's Day, it's essential to ensure you're selecting pieces of the highest quality. Here are some tips on how to do this and what to look for:

Check for Authenticity

In sterling silver pieces, look for markings such as "925" or "S925" stamped on the jewellery, indicating that it's made of genuine sterling silver. This marking signifies that the piece contains 92.5% pure silver, with the remaining 7.5% typically consisting of other metals for added strength and durability.

Inspect for Hallmarks

In addition to the "925" or "S925" stamp, genuine sterling silver jewellery often bears a hallmark from a reputable assay office. These hallmarks serve as further assurance of the metal's authenticity and quality.

Examine Craftsmanship

Assess the craftsmanship of the jewellery piece. Look for smooth, well-polished surfaces, securely set gemstones (if applicable), and precise detailing. High-quality sterling silver jewellery exhibits meticulous attention to detail and superior craftsmanship.

Consider the Weight

Genuine sterling silver jewellery tends to have a substantial weight compared to lightweight, lower-quality alternatives. While weight alone isn't a definitive indicator of quality, it can provide insight into the solidity and durability of the piece.

Look for Reputable Brands

Purchase sterling silver jewellery from trusted and reputable brands known for their commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Research the brand's reputation, read reviews from other customers, and ensure they adhere to ethical and sustainable practices.

By following these guidelines and being mindful of the authenticity, craftsmanship, and reputation of the brand, you can confidently select top-quality sterling silver jewellery for your Mother's Day gift.

Choose a Meaningful Design

When selecting a jewellery piece for Mother's Day, focus on choosing a design that holds deep personal significance for your mother. Consider her unique interests, preferences, and life experiences to find a piece that resonates with her on a profound level. Here's how you can ensure your gift is truly special:

1. Birthstone Connection: Explore jewellery options featuring your mother's birthstone, your own birthstone, or a combination representing the birthstones of all her children. Our range of stacking rings are perfect for this. This thoughtful gesture not only adds a personal touch but also symbolises familial bonds and love.

2. Symbolic Meanings: Look for designs incorporating symbols with special meanings. An infinity sign, for example, represents everlasting love and connection, while other symbols like hearts or butterflies convey sentiments of affection and transformation.

3. Reflective of Interests: Take into account your mother's hobbies and passions when choosing the design. If she has a green thumb and loves gardening, consider a floral-inspired piece symbolising growth and beauty. Tailoring the design to her interests shows thoughtfulness and consideration.

By choosing a jewellery design that holds special meaning for your mother, you're not just giving her a beautiful gift – you're presenting her with a tangible symbol of love, appreciation, and shared memories.

Select an Extra Special Statement Piece

For a truly unforgettable Mother's Day gift, consider choosing an extra special statement piece of jewellery. This could be a matching set of earrings and a necklace, or a bold ring adorned with a statement gemstone. If your mother is adventurous with her fashion choices, opt for pieces featuring bright and striking colours to complement her bold style.

1. Matching Sets: A matching set of earrings and a necklace adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any outfit. Look for designs that feature coordinating elements or motifs, creating a cohesive and eye-catching ensemble.

2. Bold Rings: Make a statement with a bold ring featuring a striking gemstone as the centrepiece. Whether it's a stunning opal, an elegant aquamarine, or a mesmerising morganite, choose a gemstone that reflects your mother's personality and style.

3. Bright and Striking Colours: If your mother enjoys making a fashion statement, consider jewellery pieces featuring bright and vibrant colours. Whether its a vibrant tourmaline ring, a delicate rhodolite garnet, or a striking turquoise, colourful pieces are sure to stand out and make a lasting impression.

By selecting an extra special statement piece of jewellery, you can make your Mother's Day gift truly memorable and unique. Whether it's a matching set, a bold ring, or pieces featuring striking colours, choose a design that reflects your mother's individuality and style, ensuring that your gift is as extraordinary as she is.

Customise with engravings

Customising jewellery with engravings adds a personal and sentimental touch, making the piece truly unique to your mother. While Lunar Moth Jewellery does not offer engraving services directly, our high-quality sterling silver jewellery serves as the perfect canvas for creating customised pieces. Here's how you can personalise jewellery with engravings:

1. Initials: Engrave your mother's initials, her children's initials, or a combination of both onto the jewellery piece. This simple yet meaningful gesture adds a personal touch and celebrates the familial bond.

2. Dates of Birth: Another option is to engrave significant dates, such as your mother's birthday, your own birthday, or the birthdates of all her children. This serves as a constant reminder of cherished moments and milestones in her life.

3. Special Messages: Consider engraving a heartfelt message, a meaningful quote, or a short phrase that holds significance to your mother. This personalisation adds emotional depth to the jewellery piece and makes it truly special.

4. Custom Designs: If your mother has a specific design or symbol that holds sentimental value, explore the possibility of customising the jewellery with a unique engraving. Whether it's a favourite symbol, a family crest, or a special motif, custom designs can reflect her individuality and personal style.

When opting for engraving services, it's important to plan ahead and allow plenty of time for arrangements. While Lunar Moth Jewellery does not offer engraving services in-house, you can consult with a jeweller or engraving service to add custom engravings to your chosen piece. Ensure that you order ahead to accommodate the additional time required for engraving, ensuring that your Mother's Day gift is ready to be presented with love and thoughtfulness.
