With Mother's Day right around the corner, you might be wondering just what to get the moms in your life. Whether it's a Mother's Day gift from her kids, a Mother's Day gift for your wife, or a Mother's Day gift for someone like your sister or a close friend, they deserve something so special and meaningful. While that can seem tough, it doesn't have to be—especially with these Mother's Day necklaces.

Of the many pretty Mother's Day jewelry options out there, a necklace is the classic choice because it will be the closest to her heart. And if that alone doesn't get her a little teary-eyed, the personalization certainly will. You can opt for a traditional birthstone or birth month flower necklace that represents all the members in her family or a one-of-a-kind fingerprint pendant from her little one. There are a few delicate and subtle "mama" necklaces, and even a modern update to a traditional locket.

She'll want to wear her necklace every day, especially if you select the metal color she loves the best. Most of the necklaces here come in silver, gold, and rose gold. Plus, there are options to customize the chain length. And it doesn't matter what budget you have in mind! There's a necklace that's an excellent gift under $10 and even a real diamond pendant that costs just $100. Truly, there's an option here that's just perfect for any Mom.
