Single birthstone ring?

[rootbeerfloat]

I have birthstone rings for each kid. I don't think they look wedding-y, but the stones are blue topaz and pink tourmaline, not any of the nicer ones.

I have one from this Etsy store that I love

Mine has her name & birthday on it, but you can get them plain too.

I have two of these that I stack and I love them - nice and simple.

I have a simple sapphire ring. It's my birthstone and I was given it as a present when I turned 18 from my sister. It's just a simple band with a single stone. It's beautiful. Looks similar to this. She actually had the jeweler make it. He took a simple setting and she picked out the exact sapphire stone she wanted and he set it.

That's gorgeous! I want one, but stupid emeralds are so expensive! I should get one though, since it is both mine and my DD's birthstone, right?

I have one like this, except my stones are square not rectangular (alternates birthstone and diamonds). Maybe this is too wedding bandish?

I really want a birthstone spinner ring (like this - www.etsy.com/listing/199920643/personalized-mothers-ring-sterling?ref=shop_home_listings). I haven't pulled the trigger yet b/c I'm hoping to learn to make them myself, but never seem to get around to it!

I got the "lab created" emerald for my ring (mine looks e-ring-ish but I can post a pic if you want). I splurged (well, really DH) because it was for a milestone birthday, but I love it so much that it was worth it!

What size do you need? This one on etsy is a size 6 and is kinda cool. www.etsy.com/listing/287938125/vintage-14k-sapphire-ring-white-gold?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=sapphire%20ring&ref=sr_gallery_27

There's one on Blue Nile I really like, but there are tons of diamonds so it's >$2000.

Gemvara has a lot of options and customizations

I got an Imperial Topaz ring made at a local stone shop because I wasn't a fan of DD's modern birthstone (yellow citrine). Imperial Topaz is apparently the original birthstone and it comes in various colors that range from peach, orange, and yellow. I got a peach stone set in rose gold because those colors remind me of DD as a newborn (she had lots of coral and peach colored clothes and nursery decor).

I have stacking infinity rings with birthstones of my kids, but I think one would look great on it's own. Purchased on etsy with authentic stones, total was about $100 for two (emerald one about 2/3, rhodolite garnet 1/3).

Can I ask what people do in this regard with a kid who has an April birthday? So not only is it just one stone, it's a diamond - which looks totally engagement-like in every design I have seen. My solution thus far has been a thumbprint necklace but I'd really love a ring.

[caramia17]

I have this ring with rubies for Caramini's birthstone. I wear it as a right hand ring. (Please excuse my horrible cuticles and man hands).



If I had an April bday child, I would want a right hand cocktail ring like one of these:

www.1stdibs.com/jewelry/rings/cocktail-rings/harry-winston-estate-platinum-three-stone-diamond-dinner-ring/id-j_50827/

I really like the north-south vitage-y ones. I think that they look the least like an e-ring.

I would probably see if a local jeweler could design it to fit my budget. And if I had meaningful diamonds in the family (maybe a pair of studs, etc.), I would try to use them.

I have a big ol' Yurman with a peridot in it. It's my "mother's ring".

[mcfelix]

My parents got me this ring with my birthstone, which I wear every day on my right hand.

[auntie]

The green one is my mother's ring. The blue is DH's birthstone; he just liked the color. The diamond is the one my parents bought me when I graduated from high school. Diamonds are my birthstone.

Well I'm still trying to finagle a 2nd band/mothers ring, but isn't biting.

A friend got a right hand ring that had diamonds and sapphires as her push present and it would look good with all diamonds too.

The shop owner Michael is very responsive to custom requests, too - we messaged back and forth about cost and quality of the stones I wanted, since the listings are mostly synthetic stones.

Not sure why it looks blue in the pic... it's very green.

jessnpaul, that's really pretty! Thx for posting.
