Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, brought customized jewelry back into the spotlight after sporting a new bauble exiting her baby shower — a charming, 18-karat gold necklace that reads "mummy."
With Mother's Day coming up, we're all racking our brains trying to figure out what to get the best mom ever. This year, it's looking like personalized necklaces might be a great idea!
So Jill Martin stopped by to talk about her favorite customizable picks.
- 1. Personalized All Heart Necklace, $75-$115, UncommonGoods
This heart-accented necklace combines silver and gold with delicate engraving to make a showstopping gift. For those who don't love necklaces, there's also a bracelet and ring set available. Make sure to order by April 26 for delivery before Mother's Day.
