Mothers deserve the finer things in life. As cliche as that sounds, it’s true – we deserve it all! As a new mom, I devote a lot of love, emotional, and physical energy to my son Shaka, from daycare drop offs to playdates. It leaves me with only so much time for my stylistic choices. When it comes to self-indulgence and finding ‘me’ time, jewelry is crucial. Women in all cultures adorn themselves with rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and other ornaments made from a wide variety of materials to symbolize beauty and status, as well as an outlet for personal expression. Jewelry allows me to celebrate myself and reflect my personality and style as a creative mom, for any mood, from decadent, to playful or serious, with any outfit, whether semi-casual or dressed up for date nights.
The latest addition to my jewelry collection, Johnny Wujek’s Armitron’s 360 timepiece, features a hand-drawn, joyous smile on the face of the watch with a rainbow iridescent metal alloy band.
For earrings, Hey Happiness gold rounded pearl hoops combine contrasting materials – 925 sterling silver and 18K gold-plated – for a signature look. These earrings pair beautifully with any outfit, especially a traditional black sundress, for a splash of chicness.
Admiral Row’s ‘mama’ necklace is a heartfelt reminder of my role and journey as a mom. It symbolizes the pride and love that comes with motherhood. Wearing it is a source of inspiration and joy.
I love to match it with my Monya Jewelry’s silver-plated ‘I’ initial necklace. It sits nicely on my rib cage and adds old school charm to my jewelry collection. The customizable plates and lengths allow mixing-and-matching of contrasting styles of jewelry.
Uncommon James has an array of lovely everyday pieces that can be dressed up or down for creative moms. My Uncommon’s Snake 14k gold-plated brass, emerald cubic zirconia studs earrings and gold-plated turquoise heart patterned ring, gold Opal Haute earrings and ring, paired with Luxe necklace adds a playfulness as well as conventionally stylish. The versatility of these pieces for any occasion makes them ideal for a busy mom who values both artsy style and practicality.
These eccentric staple and statement pieces will enhance any jewelry collection and wardrobe. To all mothers out there, find a way everyday to celebrate your creativity, the finer things in life, and above all yourself – you deserve it.
