Traits of Mom: Loving

Posted April 26, 2013

The concept of unconditional love can be a difficult one for children to understand. In fact, it's often our grandparents - and their penchant for spoiling us - that first make the concept seem real. However, it's our mother's love that burns brightest and longest.

This mother's day we can celebrate that brilliance with a piece from Natasha Grasso's love knot jewelry collection. Crafted from silver or gold fill and symbolizing the endless nature of a mother's love, these handmade pieces shine as radiantly as she does.

Traits of Mom: Patient

Posted April 25, 2013

We've all plumbed its depths at one time, but mom's well of patience seems to be bottomless. Looking back now, its most remarkable demonstrations were not while we fought with siblings in the backseat or veered hours past curfew. Rather, it was in the more serious of moments - when we struggled with school work, after the death of a family member. And in those moments she was exercising her patience not with us but with the world, and teaching us to stand strong in the face of life's challenges.

Traits of Mom: Protective

Posted April 23, 2013

The protective mother is not the one who tapes foam padding to every indoor surface or the one who slips a GPS tracking device into a knapsack. The protective mom is the one who helps you stay true to your own ideals; who defends you against your own self doubt; who picks you up, dusts you off, and sends you back out into the world.

Thank her this Mother's Day with a gift of Amethyst, the powerful and protective stone.
