It can be such a dilemma when choosing a jewelry gift for the mature woman. Your retirement-age mother, mother-in-law or grandmother would actually love a piece of today’s sterling silver jewelry that would complement her existing jewelry wardrobe.

White metals never completely go out of style, but every 25 years or so, they become extremely popular. Many women who married in the early 1950s in the United States have platinum or white gold wedding bands and love coordinating sterling silver pieces. The same is true for women who married in the mid 1970s.

Select jewelry based on her lifestyle. Does she dress up for church or for nights on the town? Then consider a stunning pearl piece, like our cultured freshwater white and grayish purple pearl ring, or a dazzling gemstone piece, like our gorgeous amethyst cross pendant.

Is her style more casual? Does she spend most of her time at home or visiting with close friends and family? Does she prefer comfortable clothes and shoes? Then choose an easy-to-wear, yet beautiful cuff bracelet or clip earrings.

Choose gemstones based on her birthstone or a birthstone of her husband or children. She’ll love a piece that has some sentimental value to it. Or choose a stunning multi-gem piece, like our amazing beaded bracelet. She can coordinate it with many outfits in her wardrobe.

The mature woman most likely once had tons of brooches in her jewelry box, and that fashion trend is back with a vengeance. She’ll love receiving a piece that reminds her of her younger days, like our stunning silver bird brooch.

So buy Mom or Grandmother a gorgeous piece of sterling silver jewelry this Christmas. She’ll love you for it!
