3. For the glamorous mom: Round Diamond Stud Earrings
Diamond studs are one of those pieces that you’ll end up wearing forever, and these diamond earrings are perfect for the mom who’s in need of an extra special treat—and will certainly help her make a statement come Mother’s Day.

If the mom in your life stays active by checking out your local mountain range or hiking trails, you can show them how much you paid attention with this mountain pendant.

5. For the mom who wears hoops everyday: Classic Hoop Earrings
It might be a tall order, but if Mom is in need of a new pair of daily hoops, these simple ones from Brilliant Earth will serve as great upgrades or replacements. The classic hoop set from Brilliant Earth is made with recycled 14 carat yellow gold, white gold or rose gold and features a simple, secure back latch.
The earrings are also certified Carbonfree, and Brilliant Earth works with Carbonfund.org to donate to the Tropical Rainforest Conservation in Brazil in order to offset the energy output of its production process—perfect for the mom who wants to keep an eye on their jewelry’s environmental impact.
6. For the picky mom: Floating Solitaire Pendant
If your Mother’s Day gift-giving usually involves conspiring with your mom to get them exactly the gift they prefer, the Floating Solitaire Pendant is a solid bet. Brilliant Earth has great customization options, and this simple diamond solitaire pendant has a huge swath of possible diamond shapes, sizes and settings. You can work with your mom’s specifications to design a simple diamond necklace that they can wear for a long, long time.
7. For the one who loves gemstones: Solitaire Peridot Gemstone Stud Earrings
If your mom’s style skews colorful, this pair of bright, vibrant gemstone earrings will lend a pop of color to their jewelry ensembles. We linked the vibrant peridot earrings, but you can choose from 11 different gems, including opal, garnet and topaz (prices vary based on your gemstone of choice).
8. For the mom who’s bold: Cabaret Garnet and Diamond Cocktail Ring
Have a mom in your life that absolutely adores making a statement? Go big with this cabaret-style garnet and diamond ring. The band is set with tiny diamonds, and a brilliant blood-red garnet forms the centerpiece.
9. For the mom who loves astrology: Capricorn Zodiac Diamond Pendant
Mother’s Day falls on May 14 this year, meaning it’s in Capricorn season. You can choose from any zodiac sign, though, when you shop Brilliant Earth’s zodiac pendants, which are made with 14k gold or white gold and inlaid diamonds. The Capricorn version features a tiny depiction of the Capricorn sign.
10. For the one that wants to make an impact: Fairmined Classic Hoop Earrings
We already had a pair of classic hoops for mom picked out, but if they’re known for keeping an eye on their environmental and social impact, consider investing in the Fairmined gold hoops over the classics. Purchasing items from the Fairmined selection supports environmental protection and socioeconomic development for the mining communities that Fairmined serves.
