21 understated jewelry gifts to get your mom for Mother's Day, from personalized necklaces to minimalist bracelets

Lily of the Valley Poem Charm Necklace, $158, available at Catbird

Made with recycled 14K gold, this floral-themed pendant might be a fun upgrade to the usual flowers. You can choose between 12 birth flower charms, which all have a written message on the back explaining what the flower (aka your mom) symbolizes, from a hopeful daisy to a joyous marigold. 

You can add a chain to your order starting at $148. 

Personalized All Heart Bangle Set, $88-$208, available at Uncommon Goods

A set of engraved silver bangle bracelets are held together by a simple gold heart. You can get up to 12 characters stamped on each bangle (up to five total), adding your and your siblings' names — or just a sweet message for Mom to carry around everywhere.

Mezzo 18k Gold Ring, $62, available at BaubleBar

This sweet little ring is perfect if your mom loves following the stackable ring trend (but doesn't want anything too busy). Plus, the pastel swirl in the center opal practically screams spring.

Omega Heart necklace, $165, available at Mementum

This heart necklace may look minimalist on the outside, but it actually doubles as a key to cherished memories between you and your mom. After you add photos, notes, and other digital keepsakes, your mom can access them by scanning the necklace via the Mementum app. 

Custom Black Disc Piza Bracelet, $36, available at BaubleBar

If your mom has held onto the beaded camp bracelet you made when you were eight, consider a more understated upgrade. You can customize this piece with your name or a simple "I <3 you" with a maximum of 12 characters.

Orders placed after April 18 will be delivered after May 6 (Mother's Day is on May 8 this year).

You can also take 20% off all custom styles with the code CUSTOM20.

Dira Stud Earrings, $70, available at Kendra Scott
