Top Picks For Mother's Day At Alx&Co.
Did you hear about our Mother's Day Initiative here at Alx&Co.? We're donating 10 percent of every purchase for Mother's Day to Community of Hope DC, a non-profit dedicated to providing safe and accessible health care to low-income mothers in the Washington, D.C. area. D.C. has one of the worst maternal mortality rates in our country, so we feel it's vital to support this necessary cause during this time. The good news is, it's easy to shop for items that will both look good and do good, so here are our Alx&Co. mom-approved suggestions for in-stock options to celebrate Mother's Day:
Meaghan's Picks
Mom of: Nolan, age 5
For me, daily practical wear is a must. I am the type of person who wears the same jewelry every day, so I need pieces that are comfortable and that integrate nicely with more-or-less elevated looks. I love Tura's signature Needle Eye Cuffs for their practical design, but this Double-Diamond style is especially pretty. I also love our Collection Stargazer Signet Ring. It has a low-profile design but plenty of style, meaning it pairs with an everyday look seamlessly. Finally, Shaya Durbin's Pave Diamond Studs are low profile, super comfortable, but so sparkly.
Laurie's Picks
Mom of: Audrey, age 16
I work with my hands and need very practical, durable jewelry to accommodate my lifestyle, but I love beautiful textures and interesting cuts in jewelry. With that in mind, Shaya Durbin's Spring Aquamarine Ring is so comfortable you nearly forget you're wearing it, but it is stunning in person. I also love Tura Sugden's Triplet Diamond Studs because my eye is drawn to brown and off-color diamonds. Plus, these are low-key enough for me to wear every day without feeling overdressed. Finally, for something more dainty but pretty, I love Christina Malle's Droplet Earrings - with diamonds, please!
Antra's Picks
Mom of: Elza, age 12; and Max, age 9
In general, my style is quite simplistic. I love clean shapes and minimalistic design; however, I am always drawn to details. To me, details are what sets truly sophisticated things apart from the mainstream. Being in my late 30's, sometimes I find it difficult to find jewelry that's not "girly" but not too classic either. However, our showroom collection has plenty of options for someone like me, like Tura Sugden's Petite Clear Rock Crystal Hoops, which are not too dainty but are also just a little extra. I also love Artemer's Art Deco Diamond Necklace, which has just enough sparkle for everyday wear, but with a special edge. Because I can't resist a custom idea, I would love to turn Artemer's Pond of Light Ring into a signet ring and maybe one day pass it on to my daughter.
