Mother’s Day is soon to be here and that can only
mean treating our special loved ones to some gifts. Traditionally this day is
celebrated with flowers and chocolates however jewellery is also a great idea
for gifting.
It’s said that Mother’s Day first took place in the
early 1900s where a woman named Anna Jarvis had started a campaign for an
official holiday to honour mothers following the passing of her mother in 1905.
Jarvis had held a public memorial for her mother in her hometown of Grafton,
West Virginia which was the first larger – scale celebration of the holiday in
1908.
If your mother (or someone just as close as your
own) loves flowers, Shrieking Violets selection of jewellery is a great
idea! Crafted in sterling silver, these pieces are handmade with real flowers
and set in resin making them everlasting. With a wide selection of flowers such
as poppies, roses, forget me nots and even a mixture of all, this is sure to
make your loved one smile on this beautiful day. A wide selection available both in store and on our website!
Simple jewellery just like the twist pendant is
also a beautiful gift anyone would love to receive. This pendant also comes
with matching stud earrings to create a meaningful full set. These pieces are
simple yet effective, making them perfect for everyday wear as well as for
occasions.
Jewellery was said to have first been discovered around
25,000 years ago. The earliest finding of jewellery is believed to have been a
necklace made of fish bones which was found in a cave in Monaco. Although it is
said that the first known jewellery was created by Neanderthals living in
Europe. Perforated beads made from sea shells have been found dating to 115,000
years ago in a cave along the southeast coast of Spain, also known as Cueva de
los Aviones.
