Matriarchs of Style: The Mother’s Day Edit

From fine jewellery to expressive timepieces, this curated selection reflects the many dimensions of modern motherhood and honours her style, sentiment, and individuality.

Finding the perfect symbol of gratitude requires a balance of sentiment and sophistication. From the architectural precision of Swiss horology to the organic warmth of hand-selected gemstones, this year’s Mother’s Day curation celebrates the multifaceted nature of the modern woman, whether she treasures a modern heirloom or a bold statement of colour.

Pomellato

Celebrating 25 years of the iconic Nudo, Pomellato reimagines its “naked” gemstone philosophy through a joyful dialogue of light. The new Rivière necklaces and doublets — featuring prasiolite layered over green agate — create depths of colour unattainable in a single stone. With the innovative Clessidra cut and a play of four distinct stone sizes, this is a Milanese masterclass in spontaneous elegance, designed to be stacked and celebrated.

Franck Muller

The Franck Muller Cintrée Curvex Color Medley is where haute horlogerie meets the fluidity of fine art. Inspired by the harmony of a musical symphony, the dial is a vivid tapestry of colour and texture, housed within the brand’s signature silhouette. Every element is precisely balanced, transforming the timepiece into an expressive celebration of a mother’s vibrant energy.

Rapport London

For the mother who treasures her collection as much as the memories they represent, Rapport London offers 125 years of British craftsmanship. Founded in 1898, the brand specialises in the art of preservation. Its leather jewellery boxes are a marriage of precision engineering and artisanal elegance, providing a sanctuary for fine timepieces and sentimental jewels. It is a gift of longevity, ensuring her most precious pieces are protected with the same care she gives to her family.

Rya Atelier by Holly Rey

A newcomer to the South African landscape, Rya Atelier focuses on the modern heirloom. Founded by Holly Rey, the brand is anchored by the Unathi ring — a symbol of resilience and maternal support. Each limited-edition piece is crafted in sterling silver, utilising the natural, irregular formations of gemstones to ensure no two stories are alike. These are quiet, considered designs intended to be passed down, capturing the intimate bond between mother and child through organic beauty.

Ted Baker

Add sparkle with Ted Baker’s AW26 jewellery edit. Designed as “little luxuries” for the everyday, the collection ranges from eye-catching statement bangles to delicate, light-catching necklaces. These pieces provide the finishing touch for the woman who appreciates contemporary flair and effortless glamour. Whether worn as a standalone accent or layered for impact, Ted Baker offers accessible sophistication that celebrates the joy of being a mother.
