Mothers day is late this year, it is on April the third. Mothers day always falls on the  third Sunday in Lent in the UK and as Easter is late this year so is Mothers Day.  It is traditional to give mothers a gift on Mothers day to show out appreciation for all they have done for us.

Vintage Jewellery is an ideal gift to give to mother this year and every year on Mothers Day as it is certain to be appreciated.

Why buy Vintage Jewellery for Mothers Day? There are several reasons why vintage jewellery makes such an ideal gift for mother:

A piece of vintage jewellery can be chosen to suit your mothers choice of clothing style and colour. Victorian or Edwardian jewellery will suit a traditional lady. Art deco or retro 1950s, 1960s for someone with an interest in vintage style. A piece of vintage jewellery from the 1970s or 1980s for a younger mother perhaps?

The jewellery lasts longer than a bunch of flowers or box of chocolates. It will be appreciated not just for the week of mothers day but for many years to come. The jewellery can also be worn and then passed on to the next generation as a heirloom.

You can buy a piece of vintage jewellery at a price to suit every budget. Vintage jewellery starts at just a few pounds, of course you can spend thousands on a diamond and gold piece if you prefer. The choice is yours.

You gift is more likely to be unique.  Your mother will not find that her neighbour or friend has received a mothers day gift the same as yours. Also the time and effort you have put into choosing such a unique gift will be appreciated.

Vintage Brooch

Which vintage

jewellery to choose for mothers Day?

Which type of vintage jewellery should you choose for mothers day?

Vintage Brooches. Brooches are easier to choose than some other pieces as one size fits all. I suggest that a brooch with a flower theme is a great starter piece unless you happen to know that your mother particularly likes silver or gold.

Vintage Ring. Rings are not a good choice of vintage jewellery to buy as a gift unless you happen to know your mothers rings size as many vintage rings cannot be re-sized more than one or two sizes each way.

Vintage earrings. Does your mother have pierced ears? Vintage earrings can represent a bargain way of acquiring a different pair of earrings for her. If her ears are not pierced you can find clip on or screw on earrings . Personally I find screw on earring more comfortable than clips as you can adjust the tension of the jewellery to suit your own comfort.

Vintage Locket. A great choice for mothers day, you can place a small photograph of mothers children in the locket  , something for her to proudly show off at a posh occasion.

Vintage Charm. Does mother have a charm bracelet? If so an additional charm in gold or silver would be a welcome gift. Perhaps a charm representing one of mothers interests.
