Flowers, chocolates, bath products - these are all lovely, appropriate Mother’s Day gifts, ones we wouldn’t judge you for opting for.

But a thoughtfully selected piece of jewellery is a Mothering Sunday present your mum can wear for years to come, always with the knowledge that it was given to her as a gesture of thanks.

Choose wisely and it will show you pay attention to her personality and taste, too - how better to make her feel treasured?

That said - how to choose something she’ll genuinely love?

What jewellery should I choose?

Choosing jewellery for someone else may initially seem daunting, but it’s simply a question of paying a little bit of attention to what type of adornments she already wears.

Never seen her wear a bracelet? It’s likely she doesn’t like having anything on her wrist - opt for a necklace or earrings instead.

Does she wear the same necklace everyday? Don’t try to replace what clearly has sentimental value to her - try a pair of earrings instead.

A sneaky peek in your mum’s jewellery box can be a great way of getting an idea what style of jewellery she prefers.

You’ll be able to spy quite quickly where her preferences lie. Gold or silver? Chunky, colourful necklaces or elegant, slinky pieces? Big ol’ bling or understated pieces? Vintage or contemporary style?

Take note of the colour, shape, size of pieces she has (and note if you’ve seen her wear them - if you’ve never seen the jewellery on, it may be a misjudged gift). By a spot of reconnaissance, you should have a clearer idea of what the lady loves.

We have to say, as well, that personalisation can always help tug on the heart-strings. A locket containing a picture of the pair of you? That’s going to be treasured. Something engraved with meaningful words or dates? Swoon.
