I am an auntie (for the first time)! My sister (well really my sister-in-law, but for all intents and purposes she is my sister) had a baby last week. Maggie Carolynn. She is beautiful!!! This is going to be a really special Mother’s Day for our family. So it got me to thinking… what a great time to talk about something the General Store of Minnetonka has been catering to for quite some time now: mother’s jewelry. New mothers, experienced mothers, grandmas, nanas… we all want something that symbolizes the incredible job that is being a mom. With two children of my own, I have really embraced the motherhood jewelry category. To be perfectly honest I have four different necklaces all dedicated to my lovely children, Ellie and Spencer! I love being a mom and I love sharing it with everyone through jewelry. It’s been a fun journey finding mother’s jewelry. I started out with custom sterling silver bracelets with block letters and crystals and then expanded to hand-stamped bracelets that incorporate glass beads. With such a positive reception from you, our customers, I have gotten even deeper into custom, hand-stamped jewelry from local artisans. I’ve brought in sterling silver initial pendants that resemble old-fashioned sealing wax. A look I am particularly proud of right now is glass a pendant with “mommy” hand-written right on the glass. My newest find (we just got them in today) are sterling silver finger print pendants! Whether you are a “jewelry person” or not, I have found something for you to wear that will symbolize your kids or grandkids or both. From Christy Branham’s Dito Bacio (finger print charms) to Lisa Nelson’s mixed metal hand-stamped jewelry, I really think you can find something that works for you. So this Mother’s Day drop a hint or treat yourself to something really special. You’ve earned it—you’re a mom!!!
