At Wings Hawaii, fast fashion has no place here, especially on Mothers Day! We proudly make all our jewelry carefully by hand in our Haiku, Maui studio, with quality materials that will endure for years to come.
We love special gifts that are made to last and pass down to loved ones. When chosen with intention, the right piece can become a treasured heirloom that endures for generations.
Mom deserves something high-quality and handmade with love and aloha for Mothers Day. So we rounded up ten ideas for Wings Hawaii pieces that would make beautiful, thoughtful heirloom pieces:
1. Birthstone jewelry
It’s such a special, personal touch to give mom her birthstone – or her children’s. Her collection can grow and bloom over years, just as her family does. I’m eyeing this Banded Emerald Necklace for my mom (and adding to my wishlist), since we both have May birthdays.
2. Vintage dishware, with a twist
This is our favorite way of taking a classic treasure and adding some modern, whimsical flair. We start with truly vintage dishware and add our Wings Hawaii original designs. This Skeleton Celery Plate (yeah, it’s as cool as it sounds) wins the prize for Most Original Mothers Day gift. We also love this Mermaid Dream serving plate, and like to imagine it in the next generation’s collection someday.
3. Lockets
The best part about heirlooms is that it’s a way to feel close to someone, and a locket can do that literally. Our Heart Locket Symphony Necklace is destined to become a treasured keepsake.
4. Classic pearls
Elegant and understated, pearls always feel like the perfect choice for special occasions and big life milestones. I can just imagine gifting these Pearl Mandala earrings, or this Tiny Freshwater Pearl choker, to either my mother or my daughter – they’re timeless classics for a reason.
5. Tahitian pearls
If island style is more her aesthetic, you can’t go wrong with a single stone Tahitian pearl necklace, or a Tahitian pearl ti leaf bangle bracelet. Tahitian pearls are said to symbolize strength and protection – sounds like Mom!
6. Jewelry dishes
Speaking of pearls, would Mom clutch hers at our “You’re Fucking Awesome” ring dish? Perhaps. Or she'll cackle and treasure it forever, and use it to stash her pearls she never clutches. They also come in lots of pretty mermaid designs if she’s not the sweary type.
7. Upcycled vintage tea sets
Mom probably played tea party with you as a kid. Why stop now? Our Twin Mermaids Tea Set and Sun Bloom Mermaid Tea Set are grown-up versions for this beloved pastime, but with all the same whimsy and magic.
8. Charms, charms, and more charms
There’s something so personal and heartfelt about charm jewelry. Finding just the right little trinket for mom’s collection (or yours) feels like Mothers Day gifting perfection. Our Multi-charm hoops feature five charms that can be worn together or apart. Our Moon charm necklace, a stunning collection of our most iconic charms, is the ultimate statement piece. And be sure to browse all of our Charm Hoop options for mix-and-match heaven.
9. Sunrise Shells
Found only in Hawaiian waters, Sunrise Shells are an epic way to celebrate mom’s love of Hawaii. Our Sunrise Shell necklace in 14k gold, cuff bracelets, rings, and earrings are all lovingly handmade in our Haiku, Maui studio by Wings Hawaii artisans. An authentic, handmade treasure for any Hawaii-lover, and sure to become a beloved keepsake.
10. Meaningful symbols
Every relationship has its inside jokes, its family mottos, its special tokens. Isn’t it wonderful when you find just the right symbol for someone? Maybe your mom loves butterflies – the Signature Wing Necklace or Bling Wing Necklace would be perfect for her. Or, this Heart Medallion necklace could be a touching symbol of love, life, and sharing a heartbeat with someone. Perhaps our Mermaid Seal Ring has special meaning for your special someone.
