MOTHER’S DAY JEWELRY GIFTS – NOW OR, UGH, LATER!

Want to avoid floundering in a sea of people gift shopping? Here are a few fine jewelry ideas for early Mother’s Day shopping in less crowded stores.

1. Do you love your mother’s strand of white pearls, that look just like Jackie O's?

• Consider buying a strand of multicolored pearls in soft hues.

2. Does Mom always wear her diamond pendant?

• Look for a couple of sapphire pendants she can add-on for the trendy charm necklace look.

3. Is the crystal scratched on her wristwatch?

• Get a new diamond Swiss watch with a sapphire crystal.

4. Has Mom worn the same small gold hoop earrings for … well, forever?

• Shop for small diamond hoops so she can update.

5. Is your mother’s wedding ring in the bank safety deposit box?

• Shop for a handcrafted garnet, amethyst, or crystal gemstone right-hand statement ring

Start shopping early, pronto, to avoid being among  the last-minute crowds looking for a fine jewelry present. I admit some of these gift ideas are pricey.  Save up now to surprise your priceless lady.
