Mother’s Day is one of the most meaningful dates in the calendar. It is a moment to honor the women who have shaped our lives with unconditional love, strength, and quiet devotion.
At Truly Jewellery, we believe the most meaningful gifts are the ones that last. And few gifts last quite like a beautifully crafted, classic piece of jewellery.
But before choosing the perfect piece, let’s take a look at the history behind this special day.
The History of Mother’s Day
The modern celebration of Mother’s Day was established in the early 20th century by Anna Jarvis in the United States. She wanted to create a day dedicated to honoring the sacrifices mothers make for their children. By 1914, Mother’s Day had become an official holiday in America.
Here in the UK, Mother’s Day evolved from “Mothering Sunday,” a tradition dating back to the 16th century. Originally, it was a religious occasion when people returned to their “mother church” during Lent. Over time, the focus shifted to celebrating mothers themselves — blending faith, family, and gratitude.
Today, Mother’s Day is a celebration of all mother figures. These include mothers, grandmothers, and stepmothers. It also celebrates those who nurture and guide us.

∞ The Meaning of the Infinity Symbol
The infinity symbol (∞) is one of the most meaningful motifs in jewellery. It is especially significant when given as a gift for Mother’s Day.
The Origin of the Infinity Symbol
The mathematical infinity symbol was introduced in 1655 by English mathematician John Wallis. In mathematics, it signifies something without limit — something endless.
Over time, it evolved beyond mathematics into a powerful symbol of love, eternity and connection.
Timeless jewellery carries memory. It becomes something she treasures — and one day passes down.
