If you suffer from separation anxiety, this ring is a brilliant tool. It's a collaboration with ex Love Island contestant Olivia Atwood and it's simply fantastic. You can have up to 8 letters stamped onto it, or birthstones and icons too and you can spin the middle section round whenever you're feeling stressed as a way to soothe yourself.
One reviewer said: "I absolutely love the ring! The ring itself does feel quite lighter than I expected it to, but overall it’s gorgeous. It looks elegant and it’s very stylish, I love the fidget feature the most, it helps a lot as I suffer from anxiety so it’s a good distraction. The personalisation with the stamp feature makes it even more perfect. I just wish there was other colour options such as rose gold."

What to look for when buying jewellery
Size - It's important that your jewellery is the correct fit. If you're purchasing a ring or a bracelet, you don't want them to fall off, so you should measure yourself if you're unsure. Many necklaces and bracelets have adjustable chains with clasps.
Material - Are you planning on purchasing a solid piece or something that's plated? Plated metal is less expensive, but it doesn't tend to hold it's value. If the jewellery is a gift for someone, make sure that they have no allergies to certain metals or materials. If you're after something completely unique, why not try some breast milk jewellery?
Budget - Whether you're buying jewellery for yourself or a friend, its important to work out how much you want to spend before you go looking. Remember, plated options are often cheaper than solid gold and silver.
Personalisation - Think about what sort of personalisation you or the recipient would appreciate. Some pieces can be engraved with initials, dates, names or messages, whilst others can have charms and pendants added to them - some even let you choose from a variety of colours and symbols. If you've experienced the loss of a child or loved one, a piece of ashes jewellery could make an important keepsake.
Have you considered welded bracelets?
While most jewellery is removable, a new and popular trend is welded bracelets. The ends of these bracelets are welded together so they can't be removed (unless they're cut off), meaning it's a lasting and precious reminder of their children around their wrists all the time. These make brilliant personalised jewellery for mums as they'll stay on your wrist for all of the milestones and many years to come.
These bracelets can often be personalised with birthstones, zodiac signs and initials for an extra personal touch and tribute to your children.
How we tested the products
When selecting these products we took great care in selecting pieces that are likely to hold great sentimental value to a mother. We asked our team members who are parents to choose pieces that they would be happy to receive and also checked the quality and durability of the jewellery.
Once we’ve recruited our pool of testers we ask them to consider four areas while testing, including usability, design, quality and value for money. They also are asked to provide feedback on their experience with the product and whether they would make any changes to improve it.
