Have you thought about what to get the woman in your life who literally has everything? 

The decision can be daunting. But don't worry, there's still time to find the perfect gift that shows her how much you appreciate her. This week, we're teaming up with some of our favorite Montana-Made jewelry creators to help you find the perfect hand-made gift for your mother.

Sam Ferraro - Bozeman, MT

Sam Ferraro has been creating jewelry by hand since 1971. After spending his post-college years in the mining industry, his love for precious stones attracted him to the world of custom jewelry. A man of the west his entire life, Ferraro has been in Bozeman, Montana ever since. Sam chose early on to pursue a modern sculpting style, evident in his pendants. This unique approach sets his pieces apart. With a background in biology, Sam skillfully crafts wildlife pendants in an abstract yet recognizable way. His work has been highly influenced by Native American culture, Western themes and Montana wildlife.  

"I was drawn to the area,” he says fondly. “It’s a great place to live.”

Our collection of stunning fine jewelry from Sam Ferraro would make the perfect Mother's Day gift for the woman you want to spoil this year.

Cowboy Collectibles - Hungry Horse, MT

Inspired by the spirit of the horse and the beautiful Montana landscape we call home, the American West comes alive in these Cowboy Collectibles products. Made with horse hair sourced in the United States, each piece is individually handcrafted by families living throughout Big Sky Country. Cowboy Collectibles is committed to supporting Montana families and their rural way of life.

Laura Wikstrom, the founder of Cowboy Collectibles, created the brand here in Montana in 1995 due to her passion for all things equestrian. As a life-long horse owner, she believes in the ethical treatment of animals! All of the horse hair sourced for her designs has been collected from horses living in cold climates, where they grow and lose hair at a quicker pace. How neat is that?

Surprise your western mom with a piece from our collection of Cowboy Collectibles jewelry. We guarantee she will love it!
