Mother’s Day is more than just a date on the calendar. It’s a time to reflect on the incredible women who shape our lives. A mother, grandmother, mentor, or mother figure gives love, wisdom, and strength in ways that words often can’t capture. This year, why not honour her with a piece of jewellery that tells a story?
As I curated my special Mother’s Day jewellery collection, I found myself reflecting on a moment that perfectly captures the essence of motherhood—one that I was lucky enough to capture in a photograph.
The Story Behind the Collection
One of the most meaningful parts of designing jewellery is how deeply personal it can be. The inspiration behind this Mother’s Day collection is drawn from my own relationship with my mother. The image I chose for this campaign is particularly special and deeply personal.
It captures a moment from one of our many creative discussions about potential future designs. She was wearing silver casts of a starfish on her fingers, potential future rings in the making. She also had a simple thimble on her ring finger, a symbol of her lifelong dedication to caring and mending, both fabric and family. It’s a small but powerful reminder of what mothers do for us: create, nurture, and restore.
A story of creativity, care, and unbreakable bond between a mother and child
The starfish was something I picked up on the beach right in front of our family home. For me, it represents resilience and renewal—qualities I associate with motherhood. A starfish can lose a limb and grow it back, just as mothers constantly adapt, heal, and give of themselves selflessly. When I transformed it into a silver cast, it became more than just a shell; it became a symbol of love and memory, infused with the spirit of our shared history.
The thimble on her ring finger tells another story. My mum has always been a maker, a creator, someone who mends and nurtures. It is a simple yet powerful object that represents patience, skill, and the kind of love that is woven into the smallest everyday gestures—sewing up a torn sleeve, adjusting a hem, making things last. Seeing her wear it in that moment, alongside my jewellery, was a reminder of how much she has shaped who I am as both a person and a designer.
Why Jewellery Makes the Perfect Mother’s Day Gift
This image encapsulates what I strive to create with every piece of jewellery: meaningful design that goes beyond aesthetics. Jewellery isn’t just about adornment; it is about the stories we carry with us, the connections we cherish, and the moments that define us. It is a wearable memory. Unlike flowers or chocolates, which fade with time, a beautifully crafted piece of jewellery carries meaning for years to come. A ring can be a reminder of a mother’s unwavering support, a bracelet can symbolise shared laughter and love, and a pendant can hold a lifetime of memories close to the heart.
