Well, another year has flown by. Mother's Day is fast approaching and you want to give a special token to the mothers in your life. Is there a new mom or a grandma or another woman who has given you support and guidance?

For each recipient, decide if it's a gift she might wear every day, or something for a special occasion. Then think about these factors as you make your choice.

Tip #1: Choose with care. Take a look in her jewelry box, at photos, or when you’re together. What color(s) metal does she usually wear or mostly own? White (silver, white gold, platinum), yellow gold, mixed (two-tone or tricolor)? Many women like the versatility of dual tone or mixing gold and silver together.

Tip #2: For Moms and Grandmas, consider a birthstone charms necklace. These are so special, with a symbol for each child’s birthstone, and can be added to over the years. Our rondelles make a great gift.

Tip #3: If she has trouble operating clasps and closures, or you’re just not sure of the right size or length, we’ve got the perfect solutions: stretchy bracelets, necklaces that easily slip over the head, or earrings with open wires. No fuss and sure to please!

Tip #4: If you’re thinking of gifting something she will wear for a special occasion, try to imagine the colors she is likely to wear. Build your choice around that. If she’s bought a midnight blue dress for a wedding that’s on your calendar, sapphires and/or diamonds are usually the right look.

Tip #5: For a gift she will wear every day, is she a jeans-and-T kind of Mom? If so, keep it casual. Consider a twisted cable, link or stretchy bracelet, or add with a look to a stack she already owns. Or go with a simple pendant at a length that will fit just below the neckline. Simple on-ear studs or hoops are great choices too.

If she likes to look "finished", consider something a bit more of a statement. A diamond pendant, a classic bracelet, or dangle earrings or pearl studs, might be just the thing.

Tip #6: If you’re thinking of earrings, make sure she has pierced ears. For new moms, it's best to choose on-the-lobe earrings that tiny hands won't grab. For women who don’t have pierced ears, choose a clip-only earring, or an ear cuff – currently on trend and easy to wear.

Tip #7: Especially important: Do not duplicate what’s already in her jewelry box! That doesn’t mean you can’t choose something that will “go with” that favorite!

    Just love your web site. I worked for Fortunoff in the Paramus store for eight years in the late Seventies. Your parents were pillars of the community! I learned so much there and I love jewelry even more today.
