Classic Elegance, Vintage jewellery gifts for your mother

A long standing tradition, today Mother’s Day is celebrated in over thirty countries at different points of the year. In the United Kingdom and Ireland the tradition dates back to the sixteenth century. It is believed to be related to Mothering Sunday, a celebration which fell on the fourth Sunday of Lent, when young people, given a day off from servitude, were reunited with their mothers when attending church.

In America Mother’s Day was invented by Anna Jarvis, in memory of her mother, a pioneer in women’s charity work who founded the Mother’s Day Work Clubs, a neutral women’s organisation which helped both Union and Confederate soldiers during the Civil War.  The holiday became officially recognised in the United States in 1914.

We are pleased to offer a wonderful selection of unique gifts in honour of mothers and mother figures everywhere. If you’re looking for a more unusual present, how about a pair of vintage ruby cufflinks, today not just an accessory for gentlemen but a unisex piece perfect for everyday wear.

With examples from across the eras, cufflinks, along with Victorian brooches, Edwardian pins and Art Deco pendants can be found in an array of designs, ensuring you will find a piece to suit any style.

If you are considering treating your mother, or the mother of your children, with a ring this year, consider vintage square rings, a particularly fine choice with the unusual shape perfect for either a right hand every day ring, or a cocktail ring. With so many gemstone options to explore, you cannot go wrong with vintage sapphire and diamond cluster rings. A popular mix of gemstones, these rings are durable, timeless, and exude elegance.
