13 understated jewelry gifts to give Mom this Mother's Day

There are so many ways to tell Mom you love her. These huggers, made from a series of cascading hearts, are a sweet way to say it. The price listed is for a vermeil (gold-plated) pair, but you can also opt for a 14-karat or 18-karat gold material.

She's more than proud to be your mom, so celebrate her with this cute 14-karat gold necklace. The pendant features a heart engraved with "Mama," making it perfect for May 12.

If she's got a style all her own, she'll love these unique open-circle studs. They're made using traditional techniques by artisans in Kenya.

A mini gold halo pendant sits on this delicate chain. It's the perfect gift to say "thank you" to your real-life angel (aka Mom).

Liven up her everyday outfits with a colorful bracelet. The 14-karat gold cable chain is lined with glittery gemstones — just pick out her birthstone and you have a beautiful, meaningful gift.

Whether it's with a flowy summer dress or a T-shirt and jeans, these vermeil coin earrings add a little bit of instant elegance to every look.

A chunky cuff covered in chain links and silver medallions make this a one-of-a-kind piece she'll love to rock. The silver-plated brass adds an eclectic touch to any outfit.

Astrological symbols give the traditional signet ring a modern twist. Each brass ring is engraved with a different zodiac sign's symbol — just choose hers and you have a unique, thoughtful gift.

Mom's been there to hold your hand through it all. This ring — inspired by the 15th century Fede rings which were commonly used as wedding bands — comprises two clasped hands, which are the ultimate signal of love, friendship, and togetherness.

A customizable engraving takes this 14-karat gold bracelet from plain to personal. Stone and Strand has already offered up the "Best Mom" engraving for some inspiration, but you can choose to write anything you'd like. And, there's a small diamond on the edge for a little extra sparkle.

This 18-karat necklace is dainty enough to wear everyday, but full of unique stones that make it feel really special. A glimmering opal is surrounded by amethyst, blue sapphire, citrine, garnet, and other beautiful gems for vibrant but dainty look.

For the strongest woman you know, get a cool vermeil necklace inspired by tarot cards. The funky pendant is placed on a dainty, thin chain, making it perfect for layering with chunky necklaces or shorter chains.
