We truly don’t—or at least shouldn’t—need a designated day to celebrate mothers. That inherent celebratable-ness is, in fact, what makes shopping for a mom so specific: Whether you’re buying a gift for your own mom, your best friend who’s a killer mama, a mother-like figure you couldn’t live without if you tried, or a grandmother you’ve been close with since the day you were born, the choice is one of perennial importance.

Of course, gifting is also a personal experience in and of itself. It’s about seeing the mom in your life for who they are—their unique chic style in all its glory—and reflecting it back from your point of view. It’s no easy feat, but it can be done fashionably and with heart. The basic principle? Go for designers with a proven track record and inimitable style, from which you can thoughtfully curate just the right pick for her. If she’s into bags, say, look no further than Loewe. If its jewels she craves, you can be assured anything from Blue Nile’s collection of natural and lab-grown diamonds will stand the test of time.

We’ve gathered up eight of the pieces that are on the top of our lists this year, each of which perfectly suits a different and distinct type of lady. Just remember to hand-write that card to thank her for all she’s done, and all she is.

The emerald-cut diamond is, we’d argue, among the most elegant there is, particularly worn as a simple stud earring. Its rectangular silhouette, set here in Blue Nile’s stunning yellow gold, is completely timeless and shimmers in the light just so.

Chic slip-ons are equal parts form and function, a combination that should very much not be overlooked. Gift her the power of feeling great from the ground up (and looking on-point all the way back down again) with these easy Vibi Venezia slippers. Bonus for the surprisingly versatile dusty rose hue.

Blue Nile has officially upped the ante on the classic tennis bracelet. Here, with the opal birthstone (there are varieties for every birth month), the brand has created a personalized, unique gemstone piece as graceful as it is meaningful.

Shaken, Stirred, Sipped

Cocktailing (or, for that matter, mocktailing) in style is what springtime is all about. These playful—yet assuredly upscale—martini glasses designed by Sophie Lou Jacobsen are simultaneously of-the-moment and a nod to the imitable glamour of the mid-20th century.

Loewe’s Flamenco mini is the Spanish fashion house’s latest icon. That’s for good reason: It’s the perfect size for necessities only (moms do not need another reason to be weighed down), and with the scrunch-top detail and knotted straps, the dashing devil is, indeed, in the details. This turquoise shade is also to die for, isn’t it?

Gilded and Gold

Gilded and Gold

Ever since a certain television antihero, done up as a New York City pseudo-socialite looking for love, wore her name in script on a gold chain in the early aughts, there’s always been a place in our fashion-forward hearts for the style. This “mama” version by James Allen nails the look, and remains simple enough that she’ll wear it day in and day out.
