what moms want

The best kind of gifts are the ones you know she wants but wouldn’t splurge on herself. These luxury pieces of fine jewelry are traditional rather than trendy, foolproof ways to show her you care.

David Yurman

In the words of David Yurman and his wife and co-founder, Sybil Yurman, their eponymous luxury jewelry brand is “one long art project.” Since 1980, the New York-based designers have blazed new trails in the jewelry world, with an unwavering commitment to innovative design and top-notch craftsmanship. Undoubtedly, David Yurman’s most renowned silhouette is Cable: a twisted helix made of various types of precious metal, its ends often embellished with precious stones and gems. In their latest Sculpted Cable collection, the signature Cable design evolves into a carved form with a wave-like motif. The newest necklaces and bracelets feature handmade links with the flexibility and movement of a chain.

Marco Bicego

Since 2000, Marco Bicego has been making hand-engraved fine jewelry out of 18K gold in Vicenza, Italy’s Capital of Gold. Distinctive gold pieces remain a cornerstone of the Maison, now in more modern and innovative silhouettes. Marco Bicego’s Siviglia Collection is a tribute to Andalusian culture, inspired by the traditions of Seville, Spain. The collection features delicate 18-carat yellow gold chains with stations of bezel-set petite baroque ovals, hand-engraved and highlighted by shimmering pavé diamonds or mother-of-pearl beads. The result is dainty and distinctive pieces that she’ll undoubtedly cherish forever.

Roberto Coin

As with most artists, Roberto Coin pays homage to his upbringing in the majestic city of Vicenza, Italy, when creating jewelry for his brand. He also draws inspiration from nature, culture and his exotic travels, which serve as fodder for his pieces handcrafted in 18K gold. Each and every piece is adorned with his signature ruby tucked inside for only the wearer to see. Roberto Coin’s Venetian Princess is perhaps his most iconic collection, inspired by a Venice fairytale with its notable clover signet. The newer Gold Duchessa Collection features modern iterations of the Princess Diamond shape, pavé diamonds and Roberto Coin’s signature satin finish gold on links and chains.

Pomellato

Known for its innovative and unique designs, Pomellato is a Milan-born brand that has pushed the fashion envelope since its inception in 1967. Pomellato was the first global luxury jewelry brand out of Italy, and it has set the bar high in both craftsmanship and design. The brand’s Iconica Collection is a tribute to its goldsmithing roots, full of classic pieces that will be forever iconic. The Catene Collection translates to “chains” in Italian, and puts a unique and luxurious twist on this jewelry staple that has recently seen a trendy resurgence.
