Mother’s Day is just around the corner; are you ready to make the day special? Landing on 30th March this year in the UK, Mother’s Day is a celebration for the mother figures in our lives. From those with biological children to those who have stepped into a maternal role, they deserve to be honoured for the wonderful impact they’ve had on our lives.
Here at Aleks Jewellers, we understand that a special mum deserves a special gift. If you’d like to treat her to something that will last long past the day itself, consider a gorgeous piece of fine jewellery. When taken care of, a beautiful necklace or elegant earrings will last a lifetime, reminding Mum of how much she’s loved whenever she wears it.
To take your gift even further, why not choose ethical jewellery? Gift Mum the gift of responsibly sourced and made jewellery; a positive piece that will last a lifetime.
In this gift guide, we’ll explain ethical jewellery and offer our favourite recommendations to make Mum smile this March and beyond.
Made responsibly and with a clear, traceable source, ethical jewellery means no harm was caused to people or environments during its mining and creation. Unlike unethical products, for example, mined diamonds, you’ll find no tradition of exploitative labour or environmental damage with ethical jewellery.
Ethical gold is mined in a way that ensures the safety of the environment and the people involved are at the forefront. This means eliminating deforestation or habitat destruction, considering energy usage processes, fair wages, safe working conditions, and absolutely no child labour. This is what makes ethical jewellery so popular, and an essential alternative when choosing gold jewellery.
Earrings are having another moment in the sun these last few years, becoming yet again the piece of jewellery you cannot leave the home without. For those who love to keep things simple but with a hint of statement, our solid 9ct gold hoop earrings are perfect. This large hoop earrings are classic in style but bold in size, fitting perfectly with the lasting trend of oversized earrings.
For mums that love a bit of sparkle, we have these stunning stud earrings, this time with ethical gold and lab-grown diamonds. Choose between 9ct white gold studs and 9ct yellow gold studs to suit her style, and rest assured that the gorgeous diamonds are created ethically in a lab, without any of the exploitative labour that comes with traditional diamond mining. Lab grown diamonds are visually and chemically identical to mined diamonds, so mum won’t be able to tell the difference.
For the bracelet lover, a yellow gold bangle is the perfect piece for adding to the collection. Beautiful alone or dazzling when stacked with other bracelets and bangles, our solid 9ct gold crossover bangle is a must-have for mums who love their jewellery.
Is your mum’s style a little more colourful than the norm? Then our multi-coloured sapphire and diamond pendant necklace is the perfect piece for her. This stunning ethical 18ct white gold necklace is studded with diamonds and sapphires in rainbow shades around a teardrop shaped pendant.
If Mum loves anything vintage or secondhand, we recommend looking through our curated range of beautiful pre-loved rings. You’ll find pearls, moonstones, diamonds, amethyst, emeralds, and more shining gemstones in our antique jewellery collection, just waiting to be chosen to be gifted to your mum on Mother’s Day.
Are you feeling inspired? Browse our full collection of women’s jewellery to find the perfect responsibly sourced gift for her, whether she’s a mum, grandma, mother figure, soon-to-be mum, or trying to be a mum. Anyone filling a maternal role deserves something truly special this March 30th, and we’re certain you’ll find the perfect Mother’s Day gift for her in our curated range.
