Gift for my mother?
I would really like to get my mother a gift for helping me with my wedding and well raising me…
We already got my FMIL a nice piece of jewelry she is Indian and likes jewelry in that particular style.
My mother owns more yellow gold then any women I know so I want to find her something nice, but nothing that can be a repeat of what she already owns. I have found these online, I was wondering if anyone had any particular impression of them, I love them but I have very pinpointed tastes

I actually found them at a jeweler in 11-13 mm I just couldn’t find any comparable online to show
they are lovely, however, if you don’t mind my making one suggestion, have the jeweler set them aside pending approval and take your mum with you to shop. tell her ahead of time that you want her approval on a gift, but that if she truly doesn’t like it to say so. i say this only because they are expensive and it would be a shame to spend that amount of money and have them sit in a safe deposit box and not worn!
you did ask for opinions so i hope you meant it, they aren’t something i would like, and i love gold! but i also am probably a totally different person than your mum - my tastes are pretty simple and i would prefer a good string of pearls, ivory.
i think its wonderful that you are willing to go to such expense for your mum but again sweetie just take her along and make sure she loves them as much as you do!
good luck and have a very happy wedding!

They are pretty, very expensive but I like that it’s a very simple design. I love a good black Tahitian myself but I’m not a yellow gold person. Make sure you know her necklace size and where she likes them to lay before you choose a length.
You could also do an "heirloom" set. You start her off with 4/5 really great pearls then each year add on until she has a full necklace. That way you can get bigger pearls if you want but stay within budget.

These are absolutely beautiful. I am sure your mother will love them. I hope they will look great with the dress she has chosen for your wedding because she will surely want to wear them. The fact that you’ve remembered to gift both mothers shows us that your mother did a wonderful job rearing you. It is obvious that you are proud of her and I am certain that she is equally as proud of you.

Very pretty. My daughter gave me a beautiful engraved jewelry box. Just a thought.
