The spectrum of modern jewelry has changed drastically in the last generation. While conventional jewelry is still popular for the big milestones in life, such as weddings and anniversaries, now more than ever people are celebrating the smaller life events with more casual pieces such as personalized mom necklaces. These ornaments have a deep legacy in old world charms and good-luck pendants, but have blended seamlessly with the sophisticated and elegant pieces of the past.

Examples are the best way to display this new craze of women’s accessories. A popular choice today is a “baby and mommy double pendant” that is composed of two silver pendants, one smaller than the other, that have matching monogrammed names for Mother and daughter. The piece is elegantly accented with small silver heart charms that lay on top. Indeed, this piece is a great example of the trend of personalized mom necklaces in modern women’s wear. What makes this piece so iconic is its blending of old-world charms (literally) and modern silver styling. What we are seeing in general is more eccentric designs, more personalized accents done on the customer level, and more blending of Parisian, world, and tribal stylings. When it comes down to brass tacks,what makes personalized mom necklaces work on a more personal level is the emotional appeal. These pieces work best when they are given as gifts for baby showers and significant birthdays. Honestly, our favorite pieces of jewelry are those that bring up memories, and the feeling it stirs within our hearts. Personalized jewelry formalizes this strong emotional bond and makes it easy to choose a gift that is beautiful, compelling, and, ultimately, touching.
