Mother Daughter Necklace Ideas: A Shopping & Styling Guide

Everyone has unique tastes, so a wide variety of styles are popular to some degree. Matching sets show that while mother and daughter are distinct individuals, they are part of a unified team. With that being said, there is something about a solitaire necklace coupled with a petite solitaire necklace and an arc necklace, combined with a tennis-linked necklace, that makes the perfect matching set. Popular styles of mother-daughter necklaces include symbolic interlocking circles and cut-out heart sets.

There are countless ways to create a mother-daughter necklace set with jewelry featuring VRAI created diamonds. Each person can wear a different piece from the set; a pair or couple of necklaces can be coordinated for a meaningful, unified look. Typically, the mother wears the larger pendant while the daughter wears the smaller one, making each piece both personal and symbolic. Match them by diamond shape, metal, or overall style to give your mother something unique.

Solitaire necklaces, arc necklaces, bezel-set necklaces, pendants, and even medallions can be mixed and matched in countless ways to create the perfect mother-daughter necklace set. If you want to find a unifying theme and motif behind the necklace set, choose a similar stone setting, the same diamond shape, or even the same metal color.

Solitaire necklaces feature an individual diamond in a four-prong setting. The setting also features an open back gallery inviting light in from all angles for maximum brilliance. This style perfectly complements Round diamonds, Ovals, Emeralds, and Marquises in an East-West setting. Consider getting the same diamond shape in two different carat weights, or two different diamond shapes that better reflect the style of both the mother and the daughter.

The pendant necklace is similar to the Solitaire, but the pendant has some added movement as it can move freely along the chain and dance in the sunlight. This style emphasizes the slender shapes of elongated cuts: Oval, Pear, and Marquise diamonds complement the pendant. If you want to find a matching, more maximalist style for your mother figure, the halo necklace combines the solitaire and the pendant setting into a unique style.

Arc necklaces are multi-stone diamond necklaces featuring VRAI created diamonds and symbolize multiple people, moments, and memories to keep close to your own heart. It comes in both a three and a five-stone setting. If you want to gift it to multiple generations of women in your life, consider also adding the Linked Tennis Necklace, which features seven graduated diamonds.

Mother-Daughter necklaces are well-suited for styles carrying a specific symbolic meaning. These necklaces can feature elegant styles that can be cherished for a lifetime, allowing mothers and daughters to share meaningful moments and memories together. The Orion necklace features a cluster of Marquise, Baguette, and Round Brilliant VRAI created diamonds linked together in a minimal setting inspired by stargazing, where each “star” symbolizes a different child in the mother’s life. The North Star is for the constant, steady guide that always leads you home, wherever home may be. The Inner Light necklace is there to remind you that there’s a light within us that never goes out.

Mother and daughter can have different skin tones and/or different undertones, so even if you’re going for the same style, it’s perfectly fine to choose two different metals. It also comes down to personal preference: yellow gold is a classic look, white gold is more modern and brings out the brightness of the diamonds, while the styles that also come in rose gold will have a vintage-inspired look if that’s the metal of your choice
