The best gifts for mom are the ones that are clearly hers: her kids' initials, their birth months, a little charm that says mama. Personalized jewelry for mom does exactly that, and she'll wear it long after the wrapping paper is gone. Here are our favorite ways to make it personal.

A mama necklace with the Mama Charm

The Mama Charm was designed by Natasha Stoneking as part of her signature charm necklace collection. She's a pendant charm that clips onto the Sawyer Necklace, a chunky chain with oval links and a toggle clasp, and together they make a mama necklace with a personal, heartfelt note. Both come in gold or silver, and the Sawyer comes in 15 or 18 inches. Fair warning: Grandma may want one too.

Her kids' initials

Letter charms are the simplest way to put her people on a necklace:

  • Gold Bubble Letter Charm: a stainless steel bubble letter, 14k gold plated, in any letter A-Z, with her own charm loop. Wear one initial, or string a few together to spell out a name.
  • Enamel Bubble Letter Charm: an initial charm in light blue, purple or pink enamel over gold, letters A-Z. She has a charm loop, so she can hop onto a bracelet too.

A birthstone for every kid

Birthstone jewelry for mom tells her family's story in color. A few ways to do it:

Not sure which color goes with which month? Our guide to birthstones by month has every one.

Numbers that mean something

The Bubble Number Charm comes in every digit from 0 to 9, 14k gold plated, so you can spell out a birthday, a jersey number or the year she became a mom. Line up a few on one chain or wear a single number on her own.

Build her a charm necklace

Start with the Jules Necklace, which comes in gold, silver or mixed metal and four lengths, then add her initials, her kids' birthstones and a charm or two that fits her. Our guide to building your own charm necklace walks through it step by step.

For the mom who likes it simple

Not every gift needs a name on it. The Emma Necklace Set pairs the Emma Necklace with a Bubble Heart Charm in gold or silver, an easy yes for jewelry gifts for mom. For her wrist, the Mixed Metal Bracelet Stack mixes a silver Greer Bangle with the gold Henley Bangle and gold Sally Bracelet, so it goes with whatever she already wears.

Personalized gifts for mom FAQ

What's a good personalized gift for a new mom?

A Birthstone Charm in her baby's month on a Jules Necklace, or the Mama Charm on the Sawyer Necklace.

Can I spell out a full name?

Yes. String a few Gold Bubble Letter Charms together on one chain to spell a name, or choose up to 3 letters with the Andie Letter Necklace Set.

What about Grandma?

The Mama Charm works for her too, and a Birthstone Bangle or Birthstone Ring for each grandkid makes a sweet stack.
