For Mother's Day 2009, here are a couple of traditional jewelry suggestions plus info on how to buy a piece from celebrity's jewelry collection.
Mother and Child Charms by Janel Russell
A different slant on the whole gemstone charm design aesthetic, this Mother's Day jewelry combines charms that are abstractly shaped like a mother holding a child with the gemstone charm in the middle of the cradle of the mother's arms.
The charms are fabricated from either white or yellow 14K gold and are set with both synthetic and real gemstones. A little pricey, the charms cost from $119 to $300 each and the bracelets come in at around $150. However there is free shipping for all orders over $99 (seems like quite the moot point). Most Items ship within 3 business days of placing the order, so there is plenty of time to order prior to the big day. Available online at the Janel Russell website.
The image is shown on this page – Sterling silver necklace and disc shaped charms that are engraved with the child's name and set with a colored glass gemstone. The charms are .7 inches in diameter. The sterling silver bead style necklace is available in 14, 16, 18, 20 and 22-inch lengths. Check the website for exact pricing. Available online at the My Name Necklace website.
Standard Shipping & Handling is free. Please allow up to 21 business days for regular air mail delivery. Expedited shipping is available.
Decades Two
If the mother in question is more of a fashionista, Decades Two might have just the right piece of jewelry available on auction. Decades Two is a consignment retail shop carrying contemporary clothing and accessories. They boast that many of their consignors are celebrities and fashionistas who want to dispose of no longer needed items by designers such as Balenciaga, Chanel and more. Decades Two turns the items around at discounts of up to 80% of the original price with some items available via eBay auctions.
Rachel Zoe Consignment
Recently, stylist Rachel Zoe consigned some of her costume jewelry collection including Lucite bangles by designer Alexis Bittar and cuffs and rings by designer Lia Sophia with some proceeds benefiting the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance. While pieces go quickly, it’s worth a frequent look on the Decades Two website to see what items are up for auction.
Find out more information about the auctions at the Decades Two auction section on their website. The auction site is sub-divided between clothing/shoes/accessories and jewelry/watches.
