12 Mother's Day Gift Picks from Boma Jewelry
Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 9th and Seattle brand Boma Jewelry has some amazing, eco-friendly gifts for the moms on your list. Last year at this time, we were at the start of a global pandemic and it comes as a surprise to no one that moms navigated the crisis better than anyone. Leave it to moms, who are always multi-tasking, to deeply embrace the art of the pivot and make the best of the worst situations. This Mother’s Day, give mom a gift she can feel good about from a brand that is using its business model as a force for good.
Boma Jewelry was founded in 1981 to fill a niche in the market for high-quality, sterling silver jewelry. This year, the brand is celebrating 40 years in business and is run by second-generation owner Suzanne Vetillart, who also happens to be a mom of four. Boma is known for making beautiful jewelry that is easy to wear and designed to last a lifetime, which is why it’s an easy choice for busy moms. All Boma Jewelry is ethically made at Boma’s family-owned factory in Thailand by skilled artisans who deeply care about their craft. In addition, a portion of the proceeds from every sale benefits the Boma Girl Fund which allocates funds for things like education scholarships and wellness programs for workers and their families. Boma Jewelry is also sustainably made from recycled metals and is non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and nickel-free, making it perfect for sensitive skin. Here’s a round-up of our favorite Boma Jewelry to celebrate every type of amazing mom.
