This year, Grandparents Day falls on Sunday, September 7; however, any day is a good opportunity to commemorate the people who have shaped your family. Whether they’re called Grandma or Nana, Grandpa or Poppy, these special people hold a place in our hearts that no one else can.

Before there was social media, there were grandparents, the original influencers. They have been educating your kids (and you) by showing them that it's better to be patient than to be angry, to work hard instead of taking shortcuts, and to find joy in the simple things. They have passed on family history, values, recipes, bedtime stories, and traditions without using hashtags. They have also been there for their grandchildren's biggest and smallest occasions. As parents, we know how much it matters when someone sees the effort we put in. Grandparents should get the same respect and thanks.

Why Jewelry Says So Much
Flowers don't last. People use gift cards. But jewelry has a story to tell.

• Each grandchild's birthstone can fit in a pendant.
• You might have a date or a specific saying or motto that is unique to your family engraved on a bracelet.
• Just like the wisdom that grandparents have passed down for years, a ring can become a family legacy.

Jewelry isn’t just a pretty gift. It’s a tangible reminder they can hold onto when you and the kids can’t be there in person. It's a bit of your family's affection that they can carry near to their hearts every day. 

The Sentiment That Lasts
Giving jewelry as a present for Grandparents Day (or any day) is more than just giving them something shiny. You're giving a gift that will be worn, loved, and passed on to the next generation. It’s the perfect way to say, “Your role in our family matters. And we see it."
