The thrill of motherhood will always overshadow my unabashed materialism. But, when I’m changing my fifth diaper of the day and I catch a glimpse of the diamond bangle riding up my arm, I’m reminded that motherhood has a few perks.
Fine jewelry isn’t just a distraction from the insanity of motherhood either. Oftentimes, it’s innately meaningful too. My favorite pieces in my jewelry box tell stories, and after all of the bedtime stories we’ve read to our kids, we’re overdue for a few diamond chapters of our own. So, if you already have a floral bouquet or cozy pair of slippers picked out for your “cool mom” this year, you might want to reconsider.
From pearls to tennis bracelets, here’s the jewelry I’d want for Mother’s Day–and, I think your mom would agree.

Zodiaque Medal Leonis
Van Cleef & Arpels has the perfect gift for every life stage, including monumental Mother’s Day moments. I’d layer my own zodiac sign with those of my boys to capture how our fire signs are synched forever.
