Any thoughts on buying my mom (in her mid 60s) the Tiffany bean necklace?

We were talking about jewelry and she told me she would love a dainty silver necklace that sits at, or just below the throat level.

Aside from being an amazing mom, she’s been super generous this year in helping me and my fiance pay for our wedding.

I feel like it’s recognizable in a way that’ll make her feel really special… the kind of thing she might have seen other women wear, but never got one

Nice idea but based on your comment, does she just want a simple chain and not a bean?

I’m excited for my wedding but it’s almost 9 months away and I started planning it over a year ago. However, whenever I’m around friends/family it’s the only thing people want to talk to me about.

I work full time & I’m in school right now so I’m stressed about those things and I don’t know how to communicate that I’d just rather not talk about the wedding without sounding ungrateful/happy

Maybe just cover one and they can do the other if they want? Don’t want to be rude if it’s expected but also don’t want to blow our budget… any perspective on the “norm” appreciated!
