Finding Personalized Jewelry For The Geek Mom

By Anne Harvester


It's really pretty simple to find the ideal Mother's Day gift. Merchants and the media won't hesitate to tell you what you should be spending your money on. Flowers and chocolate are pretty traditional, but if Mom is into all the latest technology, you might consider something in this direction. Here's a few quirky and geeky solutions for buying personalized jewelry for the geek mom.

Of course, the word "geek" is not just applicable to computer nerds, though they are the most common. However, the word "geek" might apply to people who are into any kind of technology or are just aficionados of books, particular films, music, or other areas. Take a moment to explore a few ideas and see what might be appropriate.

For example, the Mom who likes typography might appreciate a necklace with her initials engraved using a favorite font - or for a gag, perhaps her least favorite font, such as Comic Sans (which might earn you a dutch rub. There are also a number of very stylish and picturesque fonts that have come out over the years, such as Oxford or a handwriting font.

Another big hit with the nerd crowd are the tiny devices that can be made part of a piece of wearable jewelry. Because of the extreme miniaturization of today's cyber-technology, devices with remarkable power can be packed into very small items, such as flash drives and other storage devices. These devices, fully compatible with any computer's USB slot, can be integrated with watches, pendants, bracelets, and even rings. You may even want to upload photos and favorite music files before presenting it.

For the scientifically-minded mom, you might consider a piece of the solar system. A piece of jewelry containing a small piece of a moon rock or a piece of Mars could be just the thing for the Mom who is a fan of astronomy.

The ultimate gift of course is one that you make yourself. The music fan would definitely appreciate something crafted from guitar strings or something from another stringed instrument.

You'll find many ideas on the World Wide Web. Earrings and other small pieces created from old discarded microchips are a popular and fun idea when it comes to crafting custom, one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces.

The concept of personalized jewelry has a lot of different options. Make that Mothers Day gift even more personal by integrating it with one of her big interests.
