Give your mum a gift
she’ll truly cherish this Mother’s Day with Olivia Burton.
Olivia Burton are a
British accessories brand that lovingly create a stunning array of jewellery
and watches at affordable prices without comprising on style or luxury.
Known for their
covetable, collectable styles inspired by vintage finds and the latest catwalk
trends, their pieces feature hand-illustrations, beautiful references to nature
and must-have colour palettes.
To be honest, its
almost impossible to choose a favourite collection or piece on account of the generous
array of splendid and dazzling items however I have hand picked two pieces
which I simply adore and I think you will too.
Taking pride of place
within their sweet as honey Bee inspired collection is their beautiful You Have My Heart Lucky Bee, Silver & Rose Gold Mesh Watch (£159).
This absolutely
adorable watch features an intricate 3D rose gold bee sitting proudly in the
center of a bubblegum pink, brush stroke heart.
12 dazzling Swarovski
crystal markers surround the bee, adding a sparkly element that satisfies my
magpie eye!
Water resistant and
featuring Quartz movement, this watch is beautifully feminine and chic yet also
eye catching and unique.
An elegant token of
love, I could not think of a more beautiful piece to gift my mum for Mother’s
day to show her how much she means to me.
Ok wait, having said
that I have found another stunning item from the same Bee collection, the You Have My Heart Necklace Pink & Rose Gold (£55).
This buzzing beauty
features a delicate rose gold bee and a baby pink coloured heart charm hanging
from an elegant chain.
I love the contrast
of the pale pink heart against the shiny rose gold of the bee and the double
charm element adds a modern edge to a regular charm necklace.
Perfect for layering
up with other necklaces or wearing alone as a sweet statement, it is a unique
and gorgeous piece of jewellery.
There’s something
about the bee and the heart that really strikes a chord with me and yes I’m
about to get a bit ‘deep’.
The bee sits atop of
the heart on both the watch and the necklace, almost as if it were pausing to
retrieve some precious, sweet nectar from a beautiful flower.
I picture the bee
then flying away, using this nectar to sustain itself and fulfil what it was
born to do.
Despite the fact that
the bee has received what it needs, it will return to that flower time after
time, and this reminds me of a very unique parental relationship.
The heart is a mother
and the bee is its child.
The mother nurtures
her child until one day that child spreads its wings and sets off for life of
their own.
That mother has provided
the child with the tools it needs to survive in life, but time after time, like
the bee returns to the flower that child will return to its mother.
Bee and flower, child
and mother, they need one another.
I remember reading somewhere
when my children were babies, that your children are the only people in the
world who will experience the sound of your heart from within your own body.
Also, while pregnant
the mother carries two precious hearts within her body.
Amazing when you
think about it like that isn’t it.
The heart emblem
represents love and there is no love quite like that between mother and child.
Who knew you could
read so much into a piece of jewellery eh?
Whether you see what I’m
saying or not, I’m sure you can agree that that this duo are simply stunning
and I know that as a mother, I would be absolutely delighted to receive such
beautiful gifts to treasure forever.
