There is a particular kind of gift that does not sit quietly in a box and wait to be forgotten. Persian jewellery has always carried that quality. It holds a name, a story, sometimes a whole season inside it. When I began designing the Silux London collections, I wanted to create pieces that a mother could pass to a daughter and say, this is where we come from.
This year, Mother's Day in the UK falls on 22 March, just days after Nowruz, the Persian New Year. It is an extraordinary overlap. The word for spring in Farsi is bahar, and right now that is precisely what the calendar is offering: two reasons at once to celebrate the women who shaped us.
Here are seven pieces I would choose as gifts, drawn from across the Silux collections. Each one carries meaning beyond its making.
Seven Pieces Worth Giving
Tokhm-e-Morgh Studs ÔÇö Bahar Collection
┬ú895 ÔÇó 18ct gold
Tokhm-e-morgh means egg in Farsi, and at Nowruz the decorated egg sits on every Haft Sin table as a symbol of new life. These studs carry that same quiet optimism into wearable form. Compact, beautifully finished, and a thoughtful entry into the Bahar collection. If your mother is particular about her jewellery, she will wear these every day.
Ayneh Pendant ÔÇö Bahar Collection
┬ú1,350 ÔÇó 18ct gold
Ayneh is the Farsi word for mirror. On the Haft Sin table, a mirror represents reflection and self-knowledge. This pendant takes that idea and renders it in gold, a piece that catches the light differently at every angle. There is something fitting about giving a mother something that reflects back brightness.
Sabzeh Pendant ÔÇö Bahar Collection
┬ú1,450 ÔÇó 18ct gold
Sabzeh, the sprouting wheat or lentils grown especially for Nowruz, is one of the most tender symbols in the Persian tradition. It is tended for days before the new year arrives and then released into running water after. This pendant holds that spirit of careful nurturing, of growth that takes patience. A meaningful piece for a mother who has grown something precious.
Sofreh Earrings ÔÇö Bahar Collection
┬ú1,650 ÔÇó 18ct gold
The sofreh is the ceremonial cloth laid for every significant occasion in Persian culture: weddings, Nowruz, celebrations of all kinds. It is the surface on which family gathers. These earrings carry that sense of occasion without requiring one. They dress up an everyday moment. I think that is exactly what a good gift should do.
Golestan Rose Pendant ÔÇö Golestan Collection
┬ú2,950 ÔÇó 18ct yellow gold
The Golestan collection takes its name from Sa'di's thirteenth-century classic, the Gulistan, a book of gardens, roses and wisdom. This pendant is the rose at its heart: a fully realised bloom in warm yellow gold. Persian literature has spent centuries writing about the rose as a symbol of love and the beloved. I can think of no better shorthand for what a mother means.
Scheherazade Pendant ÔÇö Afsaneh Collection
┬ú3,200 ÔÇó 18ct white gold and diamonds
Scheherazade kept herself alive through the power of storytelling, spinning one tale into the next across a thousand nights. The Afsaneh collection was built around these figures from Persian legend, women whose intelligence and courage shaped the stories we still tell. This pendant is for the mother who has her own stories worth keeping, and worth passing on.
Gordafarid Pendant ÔÇö Afsaneh Collection
┬ú4,250 ÔÇó 18ct gold and diamonds
Gordafarid is one of Persian mythology's great heroines: a warrior who disguised herself to fight, and whose courage even her opponents admired. This pendant carries weight in the best sense. It is a substantial, considered piece for a mother whose strength deserves more than flowers. Of all the pieces in this guide, this is the one I would give to mark something that matters.
A Note on Heritage and Heirlooms
Persian jewellery has a long tradition as a carrier of memory. In Iranian culture, a piece of gold given at a significant moment is kept, worn, and eventually passed down. The Firouzeh collection draws on that heritage directly, rooting each design in the visual language of ancient Persia. But all of our collections share this intention: to make something that a family will hold onto.
When you give a piece from Silux London, you are not simply giving jewellery. You are giving a point of reference, a piece of your own story made tangible. Mothers understand this instinctively.
Made to Order: What to Do If You Have Left It a Little Late
Most Silux London pieces are made to order, with a lead time of six to eight weeks. I know what you are thinking. Mother's Day is six days away. Breathe.
If you would like to give a Silux piece but cannot wait for the making, a gift card or bespoke consultation voucher is a genuinely beautiful option. It gives your mother the experience of choosing something made entirely for her, sitting down with the story of a piece before it is ever cast in gold. Several mothers I have spoken to have said it was the most considered gift they received.
You can also contact us directly to discuss which pieces might be available sooner, or to arrange a consultation before the day.

This Sunday is Mothering Sunday. It is also, this year, the week after the Persian New Year. Two celebrations of the same thing: the people who make us who we are.
