The Best Lab Diamond Gifts for Mom This Mother’s Day 

Mother’s Day is coming up around the corner and will be here soon. 

For some, this time leading up to this national holiday it will be spent nervously searching for the best gift to give. 

For many moms out there, the best gift might be something as simple and as meaningful as being taken care of for a change- breakfast in bed, a day at the spa, maybe even just some flowers with a handmade card- anything that will show her that she is appreciated and loved. 

But what if that’s not your mom? 

Or what if you are doing all of that anyway, and want something that really launches this Mother’s Day from just one day of appreciation, into a forever reminder that she is special to you? 

Diamonds might be the answer- and since lab diamonds are real diamonds that are significantly more accessible than mined diamonds, we decided to come up with a few lab-diamond gift ideas to help you show your mom just how much she means to you, without breaking the proverbial piggy bank to do it. 

For the Fitness Mom: Lab Diamond Tennis Bracelet 

Everyone knows that mom who runs a marathon or is jogging every morning rain or shine at 6 AM, that woman who somehow finds time at the gym that no one else in the family can. 

What better way to help her accessorize those moments than with the most famous sports jewelry: tennis bracelets. 

Though their association with the sport is limited, tennis bracelets (which used to be known as eternity bracelets) are great on and off the court. 

First created (in the style we have today) during the Art Deco movement of the early 20th century, their design profited from newly found diamond deposits at the end of the 19th century. These discoveries flooded the market with diamonds making them widely accessible for the first time. 

Tennis bracelets' popularity got a tremendous boost from the publicity at the US Open in 1978 when Chris Evert asked the game she was playing to pause while they searched for her bracelet. In a post-game interview, she used the nomenclature “tennis bracelet,” for the first time, and it has stuck with fans of the sport, and of the jewelry, ever since. 

Today, tennis bracelets have become one of the most popular types of high jewelry, with many variations in style that give equally distinctive and unique looks and character. 

They are a very versatile style of jewelry: a white diamond and white gold tennis bracelet can match almost any outfit or occasion and is easy to dress up or down. 

Tennis bracelets are a simple concept but don’t have to be a simple design. A single line of princess cut diamonds creates a breathtaking band of seamless diamonds gleaming brilliantly together, while three rows of marquise stones oriented east-west have the scintillation and brilliance reminiscent of a babbling forest brook. 

 

This 9.25-carat, Asscher cut, lab-created diamond tennis bracelet has immense charm and stunning vitality. Its unique and perfectly balanced facets exemplify the "hall of mirrors," that step-cut diamonds are known for. 

For the Fashionista: Pear Shape Diamond Pendant with Halo

Moms sometimes have a harder time staying fashionable than many people. What with all the time they are taking care of their kids, and all the baby vomit, mac & cheese, mud, snot, etc, that kids manage to get onto their clothes, it's not really a surprise. 

This pear-cut diamond necklace with a halo is the perfect way to help your mother look amazing. 

A modern classic that can complete any ensemble, this raindrop shape has nostalgia balanced with euphoria. The brilliant cut stone has an immense interior depth, and with a halo of diamond pave this pear diamond looks larger and more sophisticated and has an extra degree of scintillation and brilliance.

Available by request, this pendant is customizable in yellow, white, and rose gold, as well as platinum. 

Thank Your Mom for Listening with Diamond Huggie Earrings

Every mother has probably lost an earring or two to the shifty, sticky fingers of curious babies and toddlers. 

It almost makes an ironic sort of sense- since moms are often the first to hear their children cry and listen to their problems, and since children are always grabbing at their moms (ears), trying to get their attention. 

And then the kids grow up, and suddenly we appreciate a lot of what our moms did for us before that we didn’t at the time. 

Sophisticated, modern, and timeless, these Trio Pave Huggie Earrings set with lab diamonds will complete any ensemble and are a perfect choice for any mom with kids (or grandchildren) who will try to tug at dangling earrings or hoops. 

Created by master artisans, each earring “hugs” the ear, wrapping around the lobe with three rows of sparkling diamond pave, allowing for maximum visibility without sacrificing comfort.  

These earrings capture the timeless brilliance and fire of diamonds, with scintillation shouting, “Thanks for listening, Mom.” 

At Michael Gabriels 

Michael Gabriels is a third-generation custom-jewelry house specializing in custom jewelry using lab-grown diamonds and recycled precious metals.  

We prefer lab-created diamonds over mined diamonds and diamond simulants like cubic zirconia for many reasons. 

Chief among the benefits of lab-grown diamonds is that they are real diamonds, but significantly more accessible to more people. They have the same physical properties, chemical composition, and optical properties as mined diamonds, and are evaluated the same way, for carat weight, clarity, color, and cut. However, they have fewer ethical problems than natural diamonds and in many cases are also much more sustainable, with significantly less land and water pollution. 

We look forward to putting our 100 years' worth of experience in the jewelry and diamond industry at your discretion to create the perfect gift for this Mother’s Day, or any occasion. 

Besides what we highlighted in this article we have a plethora of other items that can be customized to fit your specific needs and desires in our online catalog. We also design and produce customized or fully bespoke jewelry made entirely to your specifications.

We are happy to answer any questions you might have about fine jewelry products, lab-grown diamonds, or our jewelry design and production process. Feel free to reach out to us online or on Instagram, or visit our Soho showroom in New York City.
