Mom designer, featured mom designer, gifts for moms by moms

This Mother’s Day season I am featuring Gifts for Moms by Moms and interviewing some of my favorite Mompreneurs.

Today’s featured Mompreneur is jewelry designer Tali Gillette. Tali is the mom designer who designed the famous Mama-necklace as seen on numerous celebrity moms like Gwyneth Paltrow and Naomi Watts. Tali was one of the first people who contacted me after I wrote in my blog last year that I was moving to New York, and offered to show me around. Time has gone so fast that I still haven’t had time to meet Tali, but I am hoping to finally meet her in person soon. I will share our meeting with you when I do! Here is to our virtual interview with Tali.

Katja: Please tell us more about yourself.

Tali: I am the founder of Tali Gillette designs, known for its signature diamond and gold mama necklaces worn by women all over the world.

Katja: What is your fondest Mothers Day memory?

Tali: My best Mother’s day memory was the week long look of excitement and anticipation my son had on his face as he prepared to give me his home made mother’s day gift. His preschool class made jewelry boxes for all the moms out of popsicle sticks they painted silver. Full of pride he handed me the box on mother’s day last year and said “this is for your mama necklaces”. It sits on my night table, so that its the first thing I see in the morning and brings a smile to my face each day.

Katja: If you could choose anything you wanted for Mothers day, what you want?

Tali: My Mother’s day wish is the same thing I wish for everyday, a life of health, happiness, and safety for me and my family.

Katja: I think I may know the answer to this one.. but what would you suggest for a Mother’s Day Gift?

Tali: I created the mama collection as the ideal gift for mother’s day. Women have their engagement rings and wedding bands to signify milestones in their life, the mama necklace is a meaningful way to complete the trilogy. My best sellers are the large diamond mama and large plain gold mama, there’s a mama for every kind of mama.

Virtual Mother’s Day Gift for Tali

For Tali I would send flowers to last a year long like the Bonsai Gardeniaicon below and Broadway tickets so she would spend a nice day in the city with her son to see Lion King together.

I have a large white gold mama necklace and I love its simple elegance. I wear it every day, proud to be my baby’s mama!

Tali’s “mama” necklaces are so beautiful and so elegant that they have a timeless beauty for any mom, young or old. Any mom who gets one of the Tali Gillette “mama” necklaces for Mother’s Day is one lucky lady!
