Mother’s Day 2023: 10 stylish gift ideas for mums with expensive taste

For the nature-loving mum, this adorable Van Cleef & Arpels Lucky Spring clip is a chic and fun accessory she can wear to a breezy afternoon tea. The ladybug is also a symbol of good luck, which mum can carry with her. On the clip, a little ladybug made in rose gold with carnelian and onyx seems to be crawling up a sprig of delicate flowers made in rose gold and white mother-of-pearl.

If your mother comes from the generation of women who truly understood glamour—the kind that was served up on the silver screen via Old Hollywood’s self-made stars—then she will be delighted with this Gucci number from the fashion brand’s Nojum collection. This belted silk coat bursts with colour through its lavish floral print and ostrich feather cuffs. Mum can wear it on her travels, at a party, or even as a robe when she tucks into bed.

If there is one thing all mums have in common, it’s that they all appreciate some love in a little blue box. You’ll find something for everyone at Tiffany & Co. but if mum’s always been your fashion icon, get her these elegant yet edgy Tiffany & Co. Tiffany Hardwear Link earrings in rose gold with pave diamonds.

Flowers don’t last forever but diamonds sure do. Gift mum the best of both worlds in the form of Piaget’s emblematic Rose collection, centred on a rose motif that is as voluminous and ethereal as the flower that inspired it. Feminine and resplendent, this Piaget Rose ring in 18K white gold set with 75 brilliant-cut diamonds is sure to bring a sparkle to mum’s eyes.

When it comes to gift giving, a card holder is typically considered an entry-level offering. It’s a no-brainer. But here, Dior elevates the practical accessory into a thing of beauty. The Caro card holder not only has a nice ring to it, but it’s also adorned with artistic florals that mum can admire long after the extravagant bouquet you got her has perished.
