Give Her the Gift of Luster

New Gild Shares the Perfect Presents For Mom

Did you know more phone calls are made on Mother’s Day than any other day of the year? At New Gild Jewelers, the team agrees – luster is better than a phone call. Instead of traditional mothers’ jewelry, which usually features a mix of the children’s birthstones, they offer one-of-a-kind gifts that cater stylishly to the occasion. 

Why not give something that’s both trending and timeless – like pearls? Some outstanding pearl picks for her are as follows.

  1. This exceptional necklace is lovingly crafted in 18K yellow gold, including handmade solid gold beads. The sweet pearls are called “Keshi” and they charmingly resemble tiny petals. Their color is natural with tones of pink and taupe that flatter every skin tone. $3695.

  2. This gorgeous double-wrap bracelet is a beautiful combination of materials. Featuring Tahitian gray pearls, rose and yellow gold, and sterling silver, this tiny locket symbolizes the eternal nature of a mother’s love. $1810.

  3. Moms love chocolate and this lovely strand of chocolate Tahitian pearls is sure to provide understated luxury. The 14K yellow gold clasp finishes the look. $2175.

If pearls aren’t her thing, give Mom the gift of spinel. Scoring an eight on the Mohs hardness scale, spinel is a gorgeous and durable alternative to diamonds and sapphires. It is mined in shades of gray, pink, red, purple, blue and black.

  1. New Gild fell in love with this unusually cut purple spinel. It has a high table and a steep crown, which in layman's terms means it's a chubby stone. Determined to design a setting that would show off its depth, a detached halo with tiny diamonds in 14K yellow gold was crafted. The mounting is a marvelous showcase for a deep stone. $3482.

  2. Given the current high profile of Barbie, this gorgeous and pure pink 1.27 ct spinel from Tanzania brings a smile to everyone's face. Set in a 14K white gold mounting covered in white diamonds, it's a luxury piece for Barbies everywhere. $5470.

  3. The gear ring set embodies clever design meeting beautiful materials. This 14K yellow gold set features a 1.65 ct purple spinel, with accent diamonds and a unique interaction between the two pieces. $4860.

  4. Here's an example of a gorgeous 1.19 ct Burmese red spinel that's red like a stoplight. This stone illustrates the remarkable color and saturation coupled with high clarity that's possible with spinel. $5193.
