Classic Mother’s Day jewelry
Pearls are the epitome of timelessness and femininity and have been for millennia. In the early days of civilization, ancient peoples considered the almost unnaturally beautiful quality of a flawless pearl to be the work of the gods. Some groups believed that the lustrous gemstones were the tears of the gods, fallen into the sea and left for humans to find. Some people, mesmerized by the ethereal iridescence of pearls and the way their gleaming surfaces seemed to dance in the light, came to believe that pearls were drops of moonlight that had hardened into a perfect stone. The Ancient Greeks even believed that Aphrodite herself burst forth from the sea wearing only a strand of pearls, forever associating the gemstones with beauty and divinity. From the mythology of Ancient Greece to Deutsch Fine Jewelry down the street, pearls have maintained their position as a natural wonder and jewelry showcasing their perfection has continued to remain popular. You see, pearls are a thing that can never go out of style, and a high-quality pair can last a lifetime.

Modern Mother’s Day jewelry
Despite taking inspiration from the great works of the Italian Renaissance, Temple St. Clair's designs evoke a decidedly modern notion of femininity. Expressed through the inclusion of bright gemstones, carefully wrought goldwork, and mystical designs, Temple St. Clair’s version of femininity paints the portrait of a vivacious woman, filled with passion and spirit and fearlessness. The imagined woman Temple St. Clair caters to is bold, beautiful, and sometimes, a little bit bossy. She isn’t afraid to say what she thinks. She’s perfect imperfection, and her style is just as daring as she is. If she sounds like a mother you know, then her perfect Mother’s Day Gift is the Temple St. Clair Theodora Amulet Earrings. Like all Temple St. Clair creations, these sensational dangle earrings are set in sunny 18k yellow gold crafted by the world’s finest goldsmiths: the Florentine goldsmiths’ guild. Intricately wrapped vines of the finest 18k yellow gold wrap tenderly around a clear rock crystal core, overlapping in patterns inspired by the geometricity of antique Byzantine art and modern abstract art. Some of these overlappings create shapes reminiscent of the human eye, peering out from the rock crystal sphere and glittering with the inclusion of tiny diamond accents. Temple St. Clair’s 18k yellow gold earrings dangle from the ear like a bewitching charm from another world—a charm that is both captivating and somehow a little bit dangerous, as if it could, at any moment, cast a spell on whoever beholds it. Celebrate the modern woman in your life this Mother’s Day with these enchanting earrings. Just go easy on the witch metaphors, maybe…
Meaningful Mother’s Day jewelry
For some mothers out there, Christianity is the very heart and soul of their lives. This is no surprise considering that all branches of the Christian faith admire and exalt perhaps the most famous mother in history: Mary, mother of Jesus Christ. Loyal, humble, faithful, and utterly trusting in God, Mary accepted the mission of birthing the divine with a degree of fearlessness that we should all hope to have, and that fearlessness and maternal ferocity followed her all the way to the cross. For a mother that models herself on the Virgin Mother, religious jewelry can be a meaningful and beautiful way to express your appreciation. For Mother’s Day 2022, gift the religious mom you love with a striking and sentimental piece like the Cross Pendant with Green Tourmaline by John Apel. Set in 18k yellow gold, this cross pendant flaunts 2.00 ct of refreshing green tourmaline along its body. Full of energy and vitality, the verdant hue of the green tourmaline is representative of all the lush new life that emerges in springtime, which, when considered with the fact that the cross represents the promise of eternal life, makes this religious pendant particularly meaningful.
