Perfect for the modern mum: The best fine jewellery picks for Mother’s Day

This Mother’s Day, rethink the notion that a gift of fine jewellery has to be serious or safe. From sculptural statements to sentimental keepsakes, the latest releases from Louis Vuitton, Dior, Bvlgari, Boucheron, Chaumet, and Niessing suggest otherwise: They are playful, personal, and meant to be worn every day.

The gift she’ll remember isn’t the most expensive, but the one that feels like it was made with her in mind. Here’s our curation of the most interesting designer jewellery pieces that will suit every mummy personality.

Bvlgari: Bold and confident

The Roman jeweller’s serpent has been one of the house’s defining emblems since 1948 and the latest Serpenti Viper creations pare that distinctive form down to its sleekest, most contemporary expression. Stylised modular gold scales are meticulously assembled by hand to sit close against the skin, giving the pieces a fluid, second-skin sensuality.

The yellow gold necklace, set with diamonds at the head and tail, captures the snake’s coiling movement in one clean, elegant line. Equally striking are two pairs of drop earrings, which mirror that same sinuous rhythm in polished yellow gold or white gold lit with dazzling diamonds. These are pieces for the woman who owns the room wherever she goes.

Dior: Whimsical charm

Dior Joaillerie’s Diorette collection is a love letter to the lush gardens of Milly-la-Foret, a place close to Monsieur Dior’s heart. The whimsical Diorette necklace brings that pastoral fantasy to life, stringing together daisies, bees, and other lucky symbols of the house along a row of freshwater pearls. Each element is finished with hand-applied lacquer in vivid colour, then assembled entirely by hand in Dior’s ateliers.

Diamond-set charms including a clover, ladybird and daisy add a subtle sparkle, making the piece feel like a wearable talisman. This is perfect for the woman who doesn’t take herself too seriously and likes her fine jewellery with a sense of wit.

Louis Vuitton: Mix-and-match luxe

The Color Blossom collection has been reimagining Louis Vuitton’s Monogram Flower into wearable fine jewellery since 2015, with coloured gemstones such as mother-of-pearl, carnelian and malachite. For the woman who treats jewellery like she treats her wardrobe – personal, colourful and never boring – the line welcomes 28 new pieces to play with, marking the 130th anniversary of the Monogram canvas.

The standout addition is sodalite, a deep navy-blue stone rarely used in jewellery. Shaped through a painstaking lapidary process to bring out the Monogram Flower’s three-dimensional form, it makes an appearance on necklaces, earrings, a bracelet and an open ring, bringing a bold energy to the collection. Five new pieces in the much-loved pink mother-of-pearl offer a softer, more romantic option.

Boucheron: Chic with a twist

The French maison’s Quatre ring has been a contemporary signature since 2004 with its four motifs drawn from the jeweller’s extensive archives. With the Quatre XS size, Boucheron scales the ring down to a slimmer, more delicate form without losing any of its character.

Each of the collection’s emblematic codes remains intact: the double godron, with its architectural raised bands symbolising enduring love; the clou de Paris, inspired by the cobblestones of Place Vendôme; the row of diamonds, a showcase of the maison’s stone-setting savoir-faire; and the grosgrain, a ribbed motif that honours Frederic Boucheron’s couture heritage. Compact enough to stack, layer or mix freely and striking enough to wear on its own, it’s the kind of ring that can be an everyday jewel.

Chaumet: Playful sophistication

The bee has long been one of Chaumet’s most recognisable emblems, and for 2026, the maison gives it a bolder, more figurative treatment. Two new Bee de Chaumet pendants place the pave bee front and centre: one in yellow gold set with white diamonds, the other in white gold festooned with diamonds and sapphires in the house’s signature blue.

The toi et moi ring draws on that same two-tone palette, pairing two bees – one larger, one smaller – in an asymmetric composition that is fresh and unexpected. Made for the woman who prefers polished yet unpredictable accessories, it is nature-inspired fine jewellery with wit, confidence and a modern twist.

Niessing: Geometric elegance

The German jeweller has been quietly making some of the most architecturally precise fine jewellery since 1873 and the Memory Highend Duo ring is a prime example. It features two rows of diamonds that appear to float between clean, evenly spaced gold bars.

Cut from a single block of precious metal, each ring is hand-set with diamonds and finished with gloss-cut surfaces that define Niessing’s signature Bauhaus-rooted aesthetic. Available in platinum or Niessing gold shades ranging from Classic Yellow to Fine Rose, it is made for the woman who appreciates jewellery with great design behind all that sparkle.
