There’s a quote that says, “Mothers hold their children’s hands for a short while, but their hearts forever.”
We couldn’t love and agree with this more.
As the keeper of our hearts, we couldn’t think of a more beautiful way to cherish that sentiment than by giving mum a gift of equal value that she can hold close to her heart - in the form of a locket necklace.
With Mother’s Day coming up this 8th May, we think one of the most special ways you could honour mum and your special bond is by gifting her a bespoke mothers day necklace with a locket and a photo of you, you or a special memory that will forever evoke love.
As a female founded company, we at Francesca cherish motherhood and the mother daughter bond, so we want to make sure your mum feels loved by helping you give the perfect gift this Mother’s Day.
To help, we've created a mother’s day necklace and lockets gift guide so you can choose the perfect gift she will cherish and hold dear forever.
Rather than aimlessly wandering jewellery stores, look no further than our specially curated collection of mother’s day inspired gifts to suit your mum’s style - from broader mothers day necklace ideas through to mothers day pendant necklaces and mothers day necklace locket.
