Charmed, I’m Sure

Personalized leather cuffs by Dillon Rogers show off your kids’ names or a special message. Available in colors from butter to Burgundy, the design comes in three widths made of soft, flexible leather.

Jennifer Fisher’s Sloane necklace lets you pile on the personalization with a quartet of 14k gold heart, moon and circle charms with diamond borders. The cool configuration leaves plenty of room to add even your pet’s initials — if your heart so desires.

New moms will love the unique calendar necklace from Dalla Nonna that commemorates a baby’s birth date. The piece, in 14k yellow, white or rose gold or sterling silver, is accented with a sapphire to highlight that special day.

For the frugal but fabulous, the Recession Betty necklace by Emily Elizabeth Jewelry features a puffy vintage brass moneybag charm (yellow/green/pink gold, white gold or brown/black gold) reminding us all to spend wisely.

Check out the casual-chic collection at Isabelle Grace. The handmade jewelry features the real stuff: semi-precious stones, sterling silver, vermeil, 14-karat gold and crystals. Personalized options include charm necklaces that you can customize with names, anniversary dates and birth stones in a sweet, subtle way.

Keep your loved ones close to your heart, without being pushy.

Maybe the mini-jewelry maven will learn the alphabet as she clings to your new ABC necklace from Jen Fisher Design. The sterling silver pendant on a cotton cord can be personalized by highlighting selected initials (yours, your kids’) in colored resins.

Plus, it’ll come in handy while singing the alphabet song for the billionth time.

But not all trinkets need be tacky. C.H.A.R.M.’s baubles have a vintage vibe, with old-fashioned telephones, carousels, prams and piggybanks more reminiscent of your grandmother’s jewelry box than the mall. Pile them on a bracelet, or place just one on a pendant.

Add one each Mother’s Day – or any day you choose.
