How To Choose The Perfect Mother’s Day Jewellery Gift

20TH FEBRUARY 2026 | ROSALYN GOMERSALL

In case you’ve not passed any card shops recently, here’s your friendly reminder that Mother’s Day is fast approaching (it falls on Sunday 15th March this year, FYI). Whether you’re celebrating your mum, a friend, or any mother figure in your life, it’s the perfect time to show your appreciation with a meaningful jewellery gift.

There’s no need to stress about finding the right present, because we’ve rounded up all the best Mother’s Day jewellery ideas in one place. Whether she’s into earrings, necklaces, bracelets or rings, we've got plenty of gift suggestions. You're welcome.

Why Jewellery Makes the Perfect Mother’s Day Gift

When you're looking to spoil the special woman in your life, nothing quite says ‘thank you’ like meaningful jewellery gifts for Mum. From 9ct gold hoops she’ll wear every day to seriously sparkly diamond studs she’ll likely pass down to you, Mother’s Day jewellery will always go down a treat. True? True.

Small but mighty, a piece of jewellery will become a thoughtful reminder of every hug, every late-night chat, every moment she’s put you first. And unlike a box of chocolates or a bouquet of flowers, it’s a gift that lasts – just the kind of special she deserves.

Consider Her Style and Preferences

Feeling overwhelmed? Don’t be. While shopping for Mother’s Day jewellery gifts is not exactly a low-pressure task, choosing a piece she’ll truly love is easier than you might think.

Observe Her Everyday Jewellery

Gifting mum jewellery is your chance to show you actually do pay attention. Go for something similar to what she already loves — you know, like that delicate chain necklace she’s worn on repeat for years or those diamond studs she never takes off — and you’re not only giving her a new piece, you’re showing you’ve been noticing her style all along. That's what matters, right?

Start by looking at what she already wears — her go-to metal (gold or silver), her favourite lengths, and the designs she typically goes for.

Think About Her Personality

Another trick to getting it right every time is to check out your mum’s own personal style. If she tends to stick to the classics, think 9ct gold studs, sparkling diamond tennis bracelets and sterling silver chains – all timeless pieces that will slot seamlessly into her wardrobe.

If she prefers a more modern look, explore T-bar and clover jewellery (always a favourite, btw). For something trend-led and sustainably minded, take a look at our HS EDIT collection. Okay, so we're kind of biased, but you can’t-go-wrong with these teardrops, hearts, molten designs and more. Especially as each one is crafted from recycled brass or sterling silver and finished in 18ct gold plating or polished silver.

Age-Appropriate and Lifestyle Considerations

It’s a fact: Mother’s Day jewellery is among the most thoughtful gifts, but picking the right piece means considering her day-to-day life. For a new mum or mum-to-be, practicality is key. Opt for low-key favourites – like a simple women’s watch, delicate bangle, or huggie hoops – that she can wear worry-free, even around adorable, grabby little hands.

Setting a Budget Without Compromising on Meaning

We love celebrating our mums, really, we do – and showing her how much she means doesn’t have to cost a fortune. At H.Samuel, you’ll find plenty of affordable Mother’s Day ideas.

With jewellery under £30, you can give pieces that look luxe without breaking the bank. From stackable gold rings that look way more expensive than they are, to sweet heart designs full of meaning, it’s proof that it’s the thought (not the price tag) that really counts.

Popular Jewellery Gift Ideas from H.Samuel

Mums are often the first to spoil us, so why not spoil her back? Mother’s Day is the chance to give her something she truly deserves—whether it’s sparkling diamonds, 9ct gold, sterling silver, or vibrant gemstones.

Necklaces

Every mum needs a necklace she can throw on with anything (and everything). When choosing her next Mother’s Day jewellery gift, keep in mind that heart pendants are one of our bestsellers for good reason and a delicate chain never goes out of style.

Earrings

Whether she’s prefers the pile-it-on approach or less-is-more, earrings will always go down well on Mother’s Day. From classic hoops to diamond studs that catch the light, we’ve got plenty to choose from.

Bracelets

Why not give her wrist game an upgrade? Bangles, cuffs, chains, tennis bracelets and more – there’s a bracelet to suit every aesthetic (and every mum).

Rings

Diamonds are always a great choice — after all, who doesn’t love them? From diamond rings to earrings, pendants and matching sets, it’s a gift idea that’s brilliant in more ways than one. Go on, get her something sparkly for the next mum’s night out.

Create Bespoke Jewellery In Store

Jewellery is a personal gift as it is — but make it even more so by gifting mum something one-of-a-kind.

Design Your Own Piece

Admittedly, it means planning your Mother’s Day gift a few weeks early to make sure it arrives on time, but choosing bespoke jewellery gives you the chance to gift her something truly special. Just imagine her face when she realises the necklace, bracelet or ring she’s unwrapping was designed by you at every step. It will remind her of you (her favourite child, obviously).

Create her dream jewellery in-store with our style experts, and then customise with diamonds, colourful gemstones, stylish settings, her choice of precious metals, and even an engraving.

Add a Personal Touch

Personalised jewellery is the kind of treat she might never buy for herself — which is exactly what makes it a great Mother’s Day gift. Whether it’s an initial, her birthstone, or engraving of a message or date, personalised Mother’s Day jewellery is guaranteed to please.
