Whether you’re in the mood to treat yourself or looking for a thoughtful gift for someone special, a great accessory is always a good idea. From everyday pieces you’ll reach for again and again to fun finds that make a statement, we’ve rounded up some favorite jewelry and accessories that are perfect for gifting—or keeping!
For Gifting: Thoughtful Jewelry and Accessories That Make a Lasting Impression
When it comes to finding the perfect gift for the special women in your life—whether it’s your mom, daughter, best friend, or someone who simply means the world to you—accessories can be such a thoughtful way to say “you matter to me.” A beautiful bracelet, a pair of classic earrings, or even a fun, stylish bag can feel both personal and practical, making it a gift she’ll truly enjoy (and actually use!).
Suggested gift ideas:
- Birthstone jewelry: A thoughtful gift that connects to a personal story, such as a birthstone necklace or bracelet that reflects the recipient’s family or significant life events.
- Monogram or initial pieces: This kind of thoughtful detail shows you’ve put time and care into the gift.
- Meaningful charm: Does your mom have a hobby or favorite place? Is she the queen of the pickleball court? Gift her a charm so she can wear her passion.

Mother’s Day isn’t just about celebrating others—it’s also the perfect excuse to treat yourself. Why not use it as a moment to refresh your style and add a little something special to your collection? Think pieces that feel as good as they look—comfortable, elegant, and full of meaning. Maybe it’s a sleek bracelet that instantly polishes up your everyday look, or a pendant necklace that tells your story in a subtle, beautiful way. The right piece of jewelry can be a little reminder that you’re worth celebrating too.
Suggested pieces:
- Classic stud earrings: Timeless, elegant, and perfect for everyday wear.
- Versatile bracelet stack: Adding a classic piece like a bracelet collection that you’ll wear again and again is a good investment in your wardrobe.

Layering Jewelry: Create a Unique Look for Yourself or a Loved One
Layering jewelry, necklaces, bracelets and rings is very in style right now. This Net-A-Porter article confirms the trend. The easiest way to see if this look is for you is with bracelets. Create a stack of favorites and showcase your bling! If wearing several necklaces at the same time gives you “Mr. T vibes” -not in a good way- try putting several charms on one chain, it creates a similar effect.
Styling tips:
- Beads: Take a long beaded necklace and double it up – making two or three layers. This also works well with pearls.
- Mixing metals: Try mixing gold and silver necklaces in varying lengths – add a charm to one.
- Multi-strand necklace with one clasp: Several companies are creating a necklace stack for you – and they all attach with one clasp. This way the necklaces are less likely to get tangled.
