Sweet Summer Jewelry for Moms with Older Kids

Reminisce on Summers Past with These Charms and Mementos

As my kids get older, summer vacation looks a little different. I find myself with more free time to hang out with my friends and partner or indulge in personal hobbies, while my young adults venture off on their own adventures. It's a bittersweet feeling—while I miss having them around all the time, I understand that it's all part of being a parent. Yet, I wish I could hold onto some of the beautiful memories we shared during summers past.

So, every morning, I put on a piece of personalized jewelry, like a mommy charm, as a special keepsake of my kids starting their own lives. These pieces of jewelry are customized to feature something significant to each child.

Pretty Spiral Channel Round Charms

One of my favorites is the pretty spiral channel round charm. It allows me to have all the names of my kids on one charm, and the delicate design, set with white diamonds, adds a feminine touch that makes it both a keepsake and a beautiful piece of high-quality jewelry.

Enchanting Lockets with Diamonds

Another piece that holds a special place in my heart is the enchanting locket with diamonds. Lockets have always been known as heirloom keepsakes, and when I place a picture of my children inside, it becomes a beautiful memento that I wear close to my heart, quite literally. It's not just a stylish accessory; it holds deep sentimental value.

Lovely Monogrammed Oval Charms

The lovely monogrammed oval charms are another way I cherish memories of my kids. I can string them on a beautiful gold chain and wear it every day or attach it to a keychain, creating a sweet reminder that gently clinks against my keys whenever I leave the house. With multiple children, I can have individual charms with their initials or invest in a family chain with linked oval charms, each hand-stamped with their names and birthdates.

Charming Birth Month Gemstones 

Birth month gemstones are also a meaningful way to wear jewelry with sentimental value. I love wearing my children's birthstones on necklaces, bracelets, or keychains. They serve as constant reminders of the special time of year and the magical moment when I became a mom, and no matter how old my children are, I'll always hold those memories close.

As my kids grow up and their summers become more independent, I realize that it's time to let them do their own thing. While I may miss the days when we played together, went to the park or beach, and shared laughter as a family, the sweet memories will forever remain in my heart. This summer, I carry my children with me through these simple, sweet, and precious pieces of heirloom jewelry—they are the ideal way to hold onto the love and connection that bind us together.
