2026 Mothers Day Gift Guide

Mother’s Day in the UK is Sunday, 15 March 2026. If you’re looking for a gift that carries the soul of the Scottish Highlands, Heathergems offers something truly unique.

What makes our products special is the material itself. 

We handcraft jewellery in Pitlochry from natural heather stems. 

The stems are harvested, dyed, compressed under 60 tons of pressure, and then cut and polished into gems. 

Because the heather grows uniquely and takes the dye differently every time, no two pieces are ever identical.

So if you want to celebrate Mum with a little piece of the Highlands, check out the gifts below:

Tree of Life Pendant
The "Tree of Life" is a timeless symbol of family, growth, and strength - making it a perfect tribute to a mother.

This pendant places a vibrant Heathergem behind a delicate silver tree silhouette. 

The swirling patterns of the heather provide a "background forest" effect that shifts in the light, ensuring her necklace is a one-of-a-kind piece of wearable art.

Highland Coo Brooch
For the mum who loves a touch of Scottish charm and character, the Highland Coo brooch is an iconic choice.

While the pewter casting captures the "hairy" texture of Scotland’s favorite cow, the body is set with a Heathergem. 

The natural, earthy tones of the compressed heather perfectly mimic the rugged landscape where these beasts roam.

Celtic Trinity Knot Pendant
This necklace features the Triquetra, a Celtic symbol often representing the three stages of life or the bond between generations (Grandmother, Mother, and Daughter).

This means it is a gift that is full of meaning and ideal for Mother’s Day.

Luckenbooth Heart Brooch
The Luckenbooth is a traditional Scottish token of love, featuring two intertwined hearts topped by a crown.

Historically given as a betrothal gift or a protection charm for nursing mothers, this piece carries deep heritage. 

Using heather - a plant that survives the harshest Scottish winters - adds a layer of symbolism regarding a mother's resilience and enduring love.

Silver Cormag Bangle
If she prefers something substantial yet elegant, a silver-plated bangle with a central Heathergem setting is a beautiful "statement" piece.

Because a bangle sits on the wrist, the wearer gets to see the intricate details of the heather stems up close. 

You can often see the individual cross-sections of the stems, creating a mosaic of purple, green, and red that looks like a miniature landscape painting.

Why choose Heathergems for 2026?
Beyond their beauty, Heathergems are a sustainable choice. 

We use older heather stems that no longer provide nutrition for wildlife when creating handcrafted Scottish jewellery.

Harvesting them actually encourages new, green growth on the moors.

So celebrate new life with a gift from Heathergems.
