Diamond shoppers are likely familiar with the "four Cs": color, cut, clarity and carat size. All four can impact a diamond's value -- a clearer, larger diamond will be more expensive than a smaller, cloudier one. But it's also important to consider the diamonds' source. All the jewelry we've chosen for mom feature either lab-grown diamonds, or natural diamonds that are ethically sourced.
(Companies that comply with the Kimberley Process aim to remove conflict diamonds from the global supply chain.)
And don't forget to consider the rest settings: Solid gold jewelry (14K or 18K) will cost more, but last longer, than a less expensive gold-plated piece.
Below, diamonds for Mother's Day you can buy online from Kendra Scott, Mejuri and more. Find a diamond jewelry piece for mom ahead to fit just about any budget.
