Tiffany & Co: Hammered Heart pendant in 18k gold by Paloma Picasso

First to recommend

Description

Two things I always try to keep in mind for Mother's Day purchases: 1) look for something she would never buy for herself and 2) find something unique, one-of-kind. And this hand-hammered heart more than exceeds my expectations, as a uniquely beautiful expression of love as well as a keepsake that will long be treasured.

First to recommend

Description

Lovingly woven by hand, this cotton wrap lends itself to being worn in a myriad of ways throughout the summer: as scarf, stole, sarong. And its a gift that gives twice: once to your Mom and then again to the Ethiopian weavers who produce Liya Kebede's newly launched Lemlem (translation: to bloom) line. It's almost Mother's Day. Time to bloom and grow and give.
