While I'm definitely a sucker for jewelry with lots of bells and whistles (okay, diamonds too), I was surprisingly taken with the simplicity of the concentric circles necklace by Lisa Leonard.
The smooth sterling circles hung from a dainty ball bearing chain are hand stamped with whatever two-word phrase you'd like. Granted it only took me a few days to come up with just two words, but when I did, the result was a lovely, inexpensive little everyday necklace.
Make sure to peruse Lisa's site for a plethora of affordable hand stamped designs in the $50 range just in time for Mother's Day. There are even options for people like me who really can't pare any statement down to two words. -Kristen
