Jewellery for Mum: 10 Personalised Gift Ideas

What mothers almost always love is jewellery that makes their children visible: their names on small discs, their birthstones as colours, or a photo to open up. This isn't something you can simply pick up in a shop, which is why it also works for mothers who say they don't want anything. The usual range is between 30 and 50 euros.

These are the three most popular choices with us for Mum:

• Necklace with multiple stonesone stone per child · 30 to 50 €

Which piece suits which occasion?

Occasion, budget and matching pieces from the list

Mother's Day	Necklace with several stones, the photo locket, or the necklace set. Something that makes the children visible is the whole point on this day.
Milestone birthday	The family necklace, the birthstone bracelet in 925 silver, or the star map. This is where it's allowed to be more elaborate.
Christmas	The photo locket, the engraving disc with flower and stone, or the birth flower necklace. Easy to wrap, and not seasonal.
A small gift to bring along	Earrings or the bangle. Under 40 euros and still personal.
For the birth of a grandchild	The necklace with several stones or the engraving disc with flower and stone. A stone can be added for each further grandchild.

Which colour, which metal?

If you're unsure, it helps to look at what she wears anyway. If she mostly wears silver, stick with silver — a single gold piece rarely matches it then. For the birthstones, the rule is: warm tones such as garnet, citrine and ruby stand out more in gold, while cool tones such as aquamarine, sapphire and blue topaz come across better in silver. Which colour belongs to which month is listed in the Birthstone Guide.

What rarely goes down well with mothers

• A piece in the wrong metal colour. It gets politely praised and then goes unworn.
• Something with no connection to the children. That connection is exactly why personalised jewellery works here.
• Too flashy. Many mothers wear jewellery every day, and quietly. A big statement piece ends up staying in the drawer.
• Her own birthstone. The stone is chosen by the children's birth month, not by her own.

And what do you write with it?

These are the lines our customers write most often themselves:

• Thank you for always being there.
• Stay just the way you are.
• We love you.
• Everything I can do, I learned from you.
• For the best. Simple as that.

Frequently asked questions

What do you give a mother who doesn't want anything?

Something that's one of a kind. The children's names or birthstones can't be bought, which is why personalised jewellery works for people who don't want anything material.

How do I know which birthstone to choose?

The stone depends on the child's birth month, not the mother's. You simply select the month in the product options, and the matching colour is already assigned.

Gold or silver?

Take your cue from what she usually wears. Warm birthstones look stronger in gold, cool ones in silver. A single piece in the other metal tone usually doesn't match the rest of her jewellery.

Can I add another stone or disc later?

Yes, that's possible afterwards too. If another child or grandchild comes along, the piece can be extended. Just send us a short email about it, and we'll agree the next steps with you.

What does a personal gift for Mum cost?

The usual range is between 30 and 50 euros. Small tokens such as earrings or a bangle are available below that, while more elaborate pieces with several stones or in 925 silver cost more.

How long does production take?

We need 3 working days for the engraving, plus delivery time. Before Mother's Day and Christmas, it's best to order with a bit more lead time.

More recipients and occasions can be found in our Gift guide. Everything is made and engraved by us in Hamburg, and gift-wrapped.
