Mother's Day: History and Meaning

The origin of tradition

Mother's Day has its roots in ancient times, where Greek and Roman civilizations honored mother goddesses such as Rhea and Cybele. The modern version of this celebration was formalized in the early 20th century, particularly in the United States thanks to the efforts of Anna Jarvis. It was in this context that the tradition of giving jewelry developed, symbolizing enduring love and gratitude for mothers.

The symbolism of jewelry

Jewelry has become a traditional Mother's Day gift, symbolizing eternal love and the transmission of love. This tradition dates back to the early 20th century, when mothers were honored by wearing a carnation on the second Sunday in May.

• Bracelets and necklaces : They represent an eternal bond between mother and child, a chain connecting in a circular manner, almost to infinity.

• Message pendants : They allow you to express feelings with personalized inscriptions, or even engravings, chiseling, or contain a symbolic photo.

• Rings : They can symbolize a kind ofWedding band, especially for unmarried mothers.
