There are so many kinds of moms - each one shaped by her own passions, routines, and the little details that make her unmistakably herself. The way she shows up in the world might be grounded in tradition, curiosity, creativity, movement, or a mix of everything in between.
This Mother’s Day, we created a guide to help you find something that feels just right for her. Thoughtfully curated and easy to navigate, take the guesswork out of gifting and find pieces that reflect who she is and what she loves.
The Classic Mom
She's been wearing pearls since her wedding day, and she still puts them on most mornings. Our Colorful Knotted White South Seas Pearl Strand gives her something familiar with a small surprise. A 36" rope of white South Seas pearls hand knotted on silk thread, available in orange, pink, green, blue, and more. Classic on the pearl. A quiet wink on the thread.

Every Leigh Maxwell piece is hand-crafted in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Los Angeles, California. We work in solid 18k gold and natural gemstones, in intentionally limited production, because we believe jewelry should be worn and treasured, not stockpiled. The right piece, for the right mother, lasts generations.
