She may have just joined the club, but model, entrepreneur and chunky gold aficionado Hailey Bieber is already flashing her status in the form of a shimmering “MOM” ring. In a recent IG story, she showed off the stunning pave diamond piece alongside a fall-inspired mani. Designed by LA-based Isa Grutman, it manages to hold its own even though it’s just one finger away from her engagement ring which itself rivals the Heart of the Ocean, IMO.
Celebrity or not, no matter how you get there, “mom” and “mama” is a well-earned title to be proud of. (And while it’s pretty much certain they’ll call you “mooooooooooooooooooom!” a lot of the time, our fingers and décolletages are not that broad.) That’s why one of our favorite gifts for new moms is a piece of bling to celebrate her starring role. Think of it as the jewelry equivalent of the perfect leggings. It goes with everything and is completely wearable whether you’ve got pureed sweet potatoes in your hair or dressed to the nines for date night. (Hopefully not both—but anything is possible.)
There’s a seemingly endless supply of go-with-anything mama necklace styles available these days. From super-affordable to considered investments, there’s a wide variety of price points as well.
We’ve rounded up some of the mom jewelry from a variety of brands we love, from the dainty to the diamond-encrusted so you can wear your favorite title 24/7.
Handmade in LA, we love the way Hailey rocks this chunky number on her pointer finger. The weighty design is made of 14k gold and set with 32 individual diamonds.
For an edgier look, we’re smitten with the gothic font of this solid gold stunner from Iz&Co. It’s also available in “mama”, “mum”, and “madre” as well as rose, white and black gold or sterling silver.
If you’re more mama, less mom, check out this dainty piece from one of our affordable faves, Caitlyn Minimalist. Their made-to-last pieces hold up impressively well to our not-so-careful wearing.
Just big enough to make a statement, the recycled sterling and gold plated Mom ring from Copenhagen’s Maria Black features a simple modern font that goes with everything.
We love this dainty nameplate from Tiny Tags for its simplicity. This piece can be layered or worn alone, making it the perfect everyday accessory for mamas of all styles.
Kinn’s heirloom pieces are obsession-worthy splurges—and this is one of our favorites. (It’s a toss-up between this and the gorgeous “I am my own North Star” necklace , TBH.) It’s made from solid gold, which means you could be handing it down to your own daughter (or daughter-in-law!) one day. (How crazy does that sound??)
Merci Maman totally crushes it when it comes to gorgeous personalized jewelry. Their impressive catalog or affordable styles features everything from simple signet rings to a Duchess-worthy charm necklace —all of which can be engraved with any title or phrase you’d like. We love this sweet locket which can be engraved inside as well.
Are you mama? Mom? THE BOSS? Whatever title you prefer, you can engrave it on this beauty. (Well, so long as it’s under ten characters, anyway.) Mejuri’s direct-to-consumer approach means this solid gold baby comes at a lower price point than you’d find it elsewhere. (It also means it’s going to stand the test of time.)
From the makers of our favorite asymmetrical initial necklaces, this crisp 14k gold piece easily plays well with others. “Mama” not your preferred title? No problem. It comes in Mom, Mum and Maman options as well.
This budget-friendly piece has over 4K 5-star ratings and is Amazon’s top pick for “mama necklace”–a perfect way to get the look without breaking the bank!
From the makers of our favorite never-take-them-off tiny twist earrings , this vertical bar mama pendant from Hello Adorn is available in sterling silver and 14k gold fill. It’s got a matte finish that goes with everything and handmade to order in their Eau Claire, Wisconsin studio. There’s also the option to add on tiny discs with your babes’ initials making it a sweetly personalized treasure.
An affordable option you never have to take off, the MAMA Letter Necklace from Mint & Lily is made from 18K Gold, Rose Gold and Silver plated finishes over stainless steel. They’re waterproof and tarnish-resistant so wear with abandon!
If you’re looking for a true splurge, look no further than the engravable 14k solid gold heart from Jennifer Miller. Made famous by morning news maven Hoda Kotb (one of her “can’t live without” Mother’s Day picks!) it can be personalized with any engraving you’d like, but it’s hard to do better than “I love you mama.”
Made from 14k yellow gold, the Audry Rose Mama Necklace is accented with a sweet little heart (or a diamond heart if that’s more your style) and so universal you can wear it non-stop. Not committed to a single length? No problem. The 18 inch chain can be worn at 16 and 17 inches as well.
How much do we love tiny things? The dainty mama necklace from GLDN is delightfully dainty and subtle making it a perfect choice for mamas who like to keep things minimal.
If bling is what you’re after, this icy stunner from The Last Line delivers. The luxe LA-based brand never fails to stun with its colorful gem-encrusted designs which are designed to make investment jewelry more fun, less stuffy and fairly priced. With 14k yellow gold block letters lined with pavé white diamonds, this one’s no exception.
We love the charm bracelet feel of this simple pendant from Maison Miru. Available in both silver and gold, it’s the kind of piece that gets compliments every time you wear it (which will no doubt be every.single.day.)
