I want to buy a special charm bracelet for my mother's 50th birthday. Any suggestions?

I'm an only child and I want to get my mom a piece of jewelry that shows her how much I appreciate everything she's done for me. What can I get her?

While there are lots of fabulous charms out there that could describe your special relationship with your mother , there is one that immediately comes to mind: a mother and child charm, or mother and child charm bracelet. The mother and child charm or charm bracelet is attractive, classy and subtly contemporary. It depicts a drop-like graceful sweep of metal that looks almost like a thick and rounded horseshoe. The left end of the "horseshoe" is fashioned into a rather abstract mother that caresses the right side of the horseshoe, fashioned to look like a small child. The overall image is warm, beautiful and lovely. Some charm styles have a final effect of a heart space between the mother and child, and another have the effect of the circle: the heart representing love, affection and life line, and the circle representing the circle of life and eternity. As a bracelet or charm on a bracelet it serves as a constant reminder of how you will always be your mother's baby, no matter how old you are or where you are living. There is something about the horseshoe/circle/heart  shape that also reminds the wearer how mother and child have a physical connection; that the child physically is molded from the body (as it is portrayed in the charm) of the mother.
Mother and child charms and charm bracelets are available at almost every high-end jewelry store and can frequently be personalized or customized.  You can choose from 14k, 18k, and 14k yellow gold or white gold, platinum, or silver.  Many designs also offer the option of imbedding diamonds or birthstones, or creating a two-tone charm, with white gold and yellow gold, or yellow gold and platinum.
You mother is sure to adore it and you should enjoy giving it as well. It's special, personal and intimate.
