Mother’s Day is knocking at the door, and hey, what better way to show Mom some love than by giving her what she really wants? Sure, flowers are pretty, but they wilt. Chocolates? Eaten in a day. But sparkling pieces of jewelry, handcrafted and inspired from the natural world? Now we're talking! And ok, maybe we’re a bit biased (what with being Olivia Ewing Jewelry after all) but we can’t get enough. So, if you’re looking for the perfect gift for Mom-consider it covered. Below, we highlight our 6 favorite Mother’s Day gifts.

WAIT, HOW DID MOTHER’S DAY BEGIN IN THE FIRST PLACE?

Moms are so great that it seems a shame we don’t celebrate them every single day of the year. But how did we begin designating that special second Sunday in May for Mom?

Well, believe it or not, this special day is nothing new. Many countries, such as Greece, have been celebrating Mother’s Day for centuries. In America, however, Mother’s Day is a relatively new holiday- the first official Mother’s Day celebration occurred on May 10, 1908- and a holiday that we have thanks to the tireless efforts of Anna Jarvis. Jarvis began campaigning to make Mother’s Day a national holiday in 1905, the year her own mother passed away.

Eventually, in 1914 President Woodrow Wilson officially declared the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day, and the day was cemented as a day of personal celebrations between mothers and the families they raised. Today, despite its commercialization, the essence of Mother's Day remains. Partners and their children gather round Mom to celebrate and honor her strength, love, and care.
