With some cool weather slowly setting in, it's clear winter is fast approaching and the warmer months are fading away once again. Even after what's felt like an extended summer, it’s incredibly tempting to chase the warmth by embarking on a little getaway.
But let’s be real, no one deserves a holiday more than mum. She does so much for us; she deserves a break and some relaxation too. With Mother’s Day just around the corner, there’s no better time to spoil mum than now.
Hold on, I know what you’re thinking, and don’t worry; I certainly can’t afford to send my mum on an overseas holiday either. But what if you could buy mum a stylish jewellery staple for her dream holiday and enter in the chance to win a $4000 Flight Centre gift card? That sounds more like it!
Shiels have partnered with Flight Centre to offer one lucky customer a $4000 gift card towards their ultimate holiday, and entering is easy: simply make a purchase at Shiels between now and 11th of May and register your entry using the in-store QR code or the link in your order confirmation.
Of course, the holiday inspired jewellery you’re going to purchase needs some careful thought. Not to worry, we’re here to help! We’ve collated five of the top overseas holiday destinations and best jewellery to match the vibe and culture of each place.
Keep reading for a brief trip around the globe to explore the perfect holiday jewellery mum needs this Mother’s Day.
1. Bali
I think we’ve all spoken about taking a trip to Bali at one stage. With warm weather, private pools, activities galore and plenty of good food, you can’t go wrong with a nice Bali holiday (just don’t drink unbottled water!).
While Bali is certainly the place to relax and unwind by the pool, it’s also home to fun activities like white water rafting, quad biking, and popular waterpark Waterbom Bali. It's important to make sure jewellery is versatile and durable so it can withstand the diversity of Bali’s holiday lifestyle.
Jewellery should also be relaxed and down to earth, capturing the island’s free-spirited energy. Think natural textures and warm tones that pair just as effortlessly with flowy dresses as they do with a helmet and paddles. Pearl earrings make a perfect staple piece for Bali. Pair these with a durable gold necklace and a simple charm anklet to create a stunning look that can go from beach club to sunset dinner with ease.

2. New Zealand
New Zealand is renowned for its stunning natural landscapes and outdoor adventures. Mum is bound to unleash her inner explorer and take off to tour the natural wonders that engulf New Zealand.
New Zealand is nature orientated, making it the perfect place to keep your jewellery minimal yet meaningful. Subtle elegance can take the lead here, with sterling silver studs and simple chains being a go-to. Anything with leaf or nature-related symbols will blend with the surroundings, offering mum a reminder of the amazing sights and adventures she’s had travelling New Zealand.

3. Japan
Japan is becoming an increasingly popular place to visit for its rich culture, delicious food, natural beauty, and affordability. With a diverse range of vibrant cities, historic sites and unique cultural activities, it’s clear to see why Japan is sitting at the top of the bucket list for so many. Not to mention the exquisite and drool-worthy food: that’s a reason to visit in itself.
Japan offers a blend of modern minimalism and traditional elegance, so jewellery should follow suit. Pieces that are delicate, artful, and well thought out will blend in with the sights of Japan. Flower inspired designs and rose gold pieces will remind mum of the gorgeous cherry blossom trees that bloom in the spring, and dainty rings and sleek cuff bangles will further accentuate the look. While luxury is key for jewellery in Japan, it’s in a creative ‘less is more’ kind of way.

4. Italy
Ahh Italy. From bright, colourful architecture to delicious pizza, pasta and gelato, Italy is a must-visit destination at least once in your life. Mum is bound to love spending her days strolling through art museums, exploring the Colosseum, and filling up on true Italian food.
With so many historic sights and buildings, Italy has an old-world charm to it. Pair this with its chic confidence, it makes for jewellery that channels a mix of passion and polish. Whether sipping espresso in Rome or strolling the Amalfi Coast, mum will need statement pieces with classic appeal for her trip to Italy.
Gold hoop earrings are a perfect choice, and vintage inspired lockets will blend perfectly with the vintage charm sprinkled throughout Italy. Layered gold chains also make for a good look, with the warmth of gold radiating a sense of ‘la dolce vita’. Jewellery that complements rich fabrics and has an overall air of effortless sophistication is exactly what mum needs for her holiday to Italy.

5. Fiji
If your mum is a fan of hot weather and days on the beach, Fiji is likely on her bucket list. With the dry season running from May to October, it makes the perfect escape from Australian winter.
Fiji is known for its pristine beaches and crystal clear waters. If that isn’t enough, it’s also been nicknamed the soft coral capital of the world due to boasting thousands of square kilometers of coloured coral reefs, making it the perfect destination to put on a snorkel and dive in.
Fiji is full of bold colours, joyful energy and warm hospitality (and weather!), and jewellery should represent this. Mum will love to wear playful enamel hoop earrings and expressive gemstone rings, matching the vibrance of the island. Floral or ocean inspired pendants and gold bangles with tropical patterns are also staple jewellery pieces, and you can’t look past a classic pair of palm tree earrings to match the abundance of palm trees you’ll find in Fiji.
