Spring is here, and with it comes Mother’s Day! In preparation for the yearly celebration of moms (and mom figures), we spoke with Charis Jones, the founder of Sassy Jones, to level up our gift-giving game and learn the most important things to keep in mind when shopping for jewelry that that she’ll love for years to come.
“A perfect accessory speaks to her spirit, not just her style,” Jones shares, noting jewelry should celebrate individuality, motherhood, and add little extra sparkle to her life. “It’s not about price or trend—it’s about what makes her feel seen. Whether it’s a bold pair of earrings or a delicate charm, the right piece becomes more than jewelry—it’s a wearable hug.”
Ahead, read Jones’s top tips for gifting pieces that sparkle and truly show love.
✨Add A Thoughtful & Personal Touch
When it comes to shopping for Mom, Jones encourages us all to lean into stones and charms that celebrate their unique personality. “Precious gemstone studs, heart-shaped charms, or birthstone-inspired pieces feel personal without breaking the bank,” she notes.

✨ Look For A Pop Of Color
According to Jones, gifting a colorful jewelry piece can bring a lot of joy to the special woman in your life. She suggests colors like pink, lavender, and eye-catching gold for a modern, joyful twist. “Colorful pieces feel playful and affirming—like a dose of serotonin in accessory form,” she explains, suggesting enamel rings, ombré beads, and rainbow-accented pendants. “It says, ‘I see your light. Keep shining.’”

✨ Charm Bracelets Never Miss
Charm bracelets will never go out of style. According to Jones, they can be a great way to celebrate your Mom’s unique style and the things you love the most about her. Think hearts, initials, butterflies, and zodiac charms. “It’s about the bond, not the bling,” Jones explains.

✨ Shop With Intention
“Think about her journey, her joys, and her accomplishments,” Jones shares about the importance of shopping for jewelry that will cater to her personal needs. For example, if she is a woman who likes to be on time, a watch would be an appropriate gift. “When you shop with meaning, the right piece will always speak to you and to her,” she adds.

Even simple jewelry feels luxe with thoughtful presentation. Wrap it beautifully, add a handwritten note, or include a sweet memory. “The meaning behind the gift will outlast the price every time,” Jones says.
