Mum's…

Standout

The Curiosity Collector

with a Essentialist streak

“Nobody else has one. That's the point.”

Mum loves a piece with a past. Lockets, charms, little animals, a ring dated 1890: she would rather have something odd with a story than something expensive and ordinary.

  • Collector44%
  • Essentialist33%
  • Quiet Luxe11%
  • Showstopper11%

Safe bets

  • Lockets, cameos and charm bracelets
  • Snakes, birds, foxes and bees
  • Pieces with a date or an inscription
  • Victorian symbols with hidden meanings

Plus, for the Essentialist in Mum

  • A fine gold chain with a tiny pendant
  • Plain gold bands and slim signets

Probably skip

  • Plain modern solitaires
  • Anything the whole high street is wearing
  • Showing rose gold only, to match what Mum already wears.
  • Earrings left out. A pendant or a brooch is the safe swap.
  • Size a mystery? Borrow a ring Mum rarely wears from the right finger and draw round the inside, or ask a sister or best friend. Many antique rings can be resized afterwards: ask us about any piece on WhatsApp.
