Each year, there's one day set aside to celebrate mothers and motherhood. In truth, mothers and grandmothers should be celebrated every day.

This past year has been particularly demanding. Not only are women handling it all - being a parent, a wife, a caregiver, a professional, a cook, a nurse, a teacher, etc - but doing it all at the same time and mostly in the same place and sometimes, all alone. It's an amazing responsibility to be a mother. It's a role which comes with joy, laughter, worry, sadness, hope and courage, kissing scraped knees, hugging a stressed out teenager or holding an aging parent, while trying to hold everything together for everyone.

I created this limited edition silver-plated and semi-precious stone necklace to celebrate motherhood and mothers on May 9, 2021. It's a combination of delicacy and strength. The polished Rose Quartz in the pendant symbolizes unconditional love and peace. The faceted Clear Quartz is the most powerful stone energetically. It has tremendous healing powers and strength.

Although I created it to celebrate mothers and motherhood, it's a necklace that is meant to be worn all year long as a reminder of the amazing women mothers are.

This limited edition necklace I named "In Celebration of Mothers" honours mothers, grandmothers and stepmothers everywhere and every day.
