Great moms aren't just amazing at being moms—they're also more than likely amazing people. People with their own personal style, point of view, interests, and sense of self that's expressed in their daily sartorial choices.

And so celebrating these incredible women in your life (whether they're technically your mom or not) is about more than just thanking them for their role in your life: It's about honoring who they are and how they choose to relate to fashion as a form of identity. In other words: Buy them something that acknowledges that you see them, and their aesthetic, for exactly who (and what) they are, and celebrates both. Just remember, whether you're searching for a pair of versatile flats or luggage to inspire her world travels, gift giving is an art that's about recognizing and appreciating her, and subsequently injecting your gratitude and love into your pick.

If you're going the jewelry route for all of the above, Blue Nile is a fabulous source. Featuring a huge collection of both natural and lab-grown diamonds and other gemstones in settings both traditional and contemporary, the brand has a selection that will feel properly chic for nearly every mom. Whether it's a pair of sleek and simple studs that sit just right or an emerald ring reminiscent of royalty, you'll know the right pick for the mom in your life the moment you see it.

Here are 10 of our top gifting selections—some jewelry, some not. Each will have you thinking of a powerful, kind, beautiful woman in your life who absolutely deserves to be celebrated.

When it comes to diamond studs, the simpler, the chicer. Go for this natural diamond round-cut duo set in 14K yellow gold from Blue Nile—she'll all but live in them.

The open-weave shoe is having a moment, and with good reason: It's all about an easy slip-on style that can be dressed up for a nice dinner out, or down for school drop-off. This pair from Loeffler Randall wears well with denim and dresses alike.

Pretty in Pearl

Pretty in Pearl

A Blue Nile solitaire pearl necklace is the daily-wear piece of which she'll never tire. With a cable gold chain and a unique, clamp-style bracket, it plays nicely with both T-shirts and strapless tops (along with pretty much any other silhouette she may have in her closet).

Moms work harder than hard, so a relaxing—or exciting—vacation is well-earned and then some. Send her off in style with this vintage-inspired brown-and-beige carry-on, thoughtfully designed to maximize storage without weighing down her day.

Green Goddess

Green Goddess

Emeralds are very much back in style, and this sunburst halo-set piece from Blue Nile elegantly blends the past and the present. Because it's not overwhelmingly oversized, she'll be able to wear it however she sees fit—as a statement cocktail ring or just running around town.

When it comes to luxuriating, fancy soaps feel most indulgent. A gift box of varying scents from Claus Porto will encourage her to take a beat all for herself, light some candles, and settle into some serious relaxation. Dreamy.

A simple diamond-and-white-gold cuff bracelet is as wearable as it is timeless, and this one by designer James Allen proves it's all about the details. With two opposing cuts—pear on one side, emerald on the other—the eye is caught with subtlety and class.
