Amanda’s Style File: Mother’s Day Jewelry
Looking to stock jewelry for the stylish mom who still wants sentimental pieces? This week’s Style File has nine great options.
Moms today are looking for pieces that offer both the sentimentality of a piece celebrating their love for their kids and an updated, stylish look.
The term “mom style” doesn’t have the same meaning anymore. Today, mothers are not taking a backseat to fashion; they want to look good, feel good and be in style.
But that doesn’t mean they don’t want sentimental talismans to celebrate the love they have for their children. They want both. Thankfully, there are a ton of beautiful, stylish Mother’s Day jewelry options out there.
This Style File showcases how tradition can be tweaked to make personalized jewelry fresh, wearable and the perfect gift for mothers of all ages. Here are a few finds worth exploring.
