There is nothing like a Mom! I adored mine and celebrated her every chance I got till she died suddenly three years ago. Now Mother’s Day has special resonance for me. With my Mom, gone but never far, I always commemorate the woman that she was and the great Love, that we shared for each other.
I attended this years’s Accessories Council ACTOPPICKS for Mother’s Day event, hosted by the absolutely hilarious Alison Lang and always entertaining Accessories Council President Karen Gibberson. I love these events because we see tons of trends and great gifts and products in a quick presentation. For this session, we were introduced to some stunning pieces that would make perfect gifts for your Moms. If you’re like me, then you are a last minute shopper so order one of these gifts by Friday, to make sure it is her in time.

This ring is EVERYTHING! I wear it frequently and get multiple compliments every time. . Blue Lapis is one of the most spiritual stones and symbolizes royalty, truth and enlightenment. Celebrate the Goddess that is your Mother and give her Queen for the Day with this lovely ring.
