A birthstone necklace for Mom — or any kind of birthstone jewelry, for that matter — is a thoughtful gift she’ll cherish, so if you’re stuck on what to get her for Mother’s Day, Christmas, her birthday, or any other occasion, you can stop right here. Getting a personalized piece of jewelry for any mom in your life (be it your mother-in-law, sister-in-law, bestie, etc.) goes the extra mile when it comes to being sentimental because it means you’re celebrating what she holds dear. You can choose a birthstone that has meaning, plus many pieces can be custom-engraved with initials, names, or messages to make it extra special. It’s an elegant present she’ll treasure for years, and even if you’re not able to see her for the holiday (*sniff*), it’s an item that can easily be delivered so she knows she’s always on your mind.

Birthstones have significant meaning that goes beyond just having been born during that month window. They represent wellness and good fortune, which are two things we can all use nowadays. Needless to say, a Mother’s birthstone necklace hits all the high notes (and there are even options you can order last-minute to arrive just in time — we won’t tell!). Here are some of our favorite birthstone jewelry pieces to show Mom how special she really is!

Best Birthstone Necklaces For Mom:

Tiny Tags Birthstone Necklace

This collection of personalized fine jewelry was designed to celebrate that special “her” in your life. Each personalized piece is custom-made right here in the USA. This birthstone necklace is simple but timelines, featuring 5mm stones in a 14K yellow gold, vermeil or sterling silver chain. 

$78
Custom Mixed Small Shaker Birthstone Necklace

This is not your average birthstone necklace—it’s so much more. Instead of just one stone, you can mix two birthstones together to create an eye-catching, vibrant color that tells its own story. These are handmade in Hawaii and can be custom purchased with either an 18K gold vermeil chain or one in recycled sterling silver. 

$145
Gorjana Power Birthstone Coin Necklace

We love this pick from Gorjana because it’s equal parts classic and trendy. Featuring luxe 18 karat gold plating and a coin pendant set with a genuine stone, it’s guaranteed to become her new go-to. Whether you choose her birthstone, your birthstone, or the birthstone of your child, it’s a meaningful piece that will never go out of style. (P.S. Gorjana even has a gift wrap option so it’ll arrive ready to give!)

HAVERHILL Personalized Classic Necklace

For a piece of jewelry as unique as she is, this Heirloom-worthy sparkler is special. Haverhill’s Personalized Classic Necklace collection lets you choose letter charms and birthstones, as well as the chain length, so you can create a necklace that’s truly meaningful. It’s made of quality materials like 14k yellow or white gold and real gemstones, because after all, Mom deserves the best. We love that this necklace is gorgeous enough to stun but subtle enough for everyday wear, and the way it settles delicately across the collar bone makes us swoon (I know because I wear it, myself). It’s timeless enough for new moms (push present, maybe?), experienced moms, and grandmothers. Fun fact: If she has a growing family, she can send it back to Haverhill to have charms and stones added down the road.
