Gifts For The Un-Spoilable.
This Mother’s Day She Deserves The Best.

Has your mother ever told you about the time she had to give up jewellery? When she had to regretfully relinquish her most precious pieces as she tended to the little humans that threatened to break any chain, earring or bracelet that dared dangle within their arm’s reach?

After one too many earlobe-grabs she realised it would be better for her (and the jewellery) if they went to a temporary safe house. They went the same way as her white dresses, designer handbags and high heeled shoes. It was circa the time when she was one hundred percent more likely to enter stores with names that ended in “4Kids” than any that didn’t feature Lego in their front windows. It was when her most common accessory was a string of cooked spaghetti unknowingly stuck to her jumper.

Perhaps this is why the sentiment of “spoiling” mum on Mother’s Day is a feeble contradiction in terms. For the woman who sacrifices on the daily, spends endless nights, weeks, months awake and has perfected the exact Vegemite density for each family member’s toast order – “spoilt” she could never be. Allow us, then, to change the phrase to “deserves”. That she deserves more than wilted flowers from the local fruit market stand this Mother’s Day. She deserves more than a cut-price pharmacy fragrance. She deserves the best, the most beautiful, the most exquisite. 

So while it’s unlikely she’ll be offered a full night’s sleep, she can be bestowed a precious keepsake, a well-deserved token of appreciation. Below, we have curated some of our most special and meaningful accoutrement, a selection of spectacular fine jewellery, forever rings and world class timepieces sure to knock her novelty I-Heart-Mum socks off. 

This Mother’s Day celebrate her in the most luxurious way possible, after all, she deserves it.
