Show me your mom jewelry

[pinotgrig]

H needs ideas for my b-day and I'm thinking I'd like some jewelry with the boys' birthstones, maybe as stacking rings? I need ideas, so show me what you have or what you want.

[aspentosh]

We only have one child, but this is my ring for her (garnet for Jan birthday).

December birthstone (blue topaz)

[Deleted]

I have lots. A locket for each child with their birthstones (DS is amethyst, DD is aquamarine). A swirling family of four. And two birthstone rings.

Calvin has offered a number of times, but I'm waiting since we are planning a #2 so I can put both stones in the same piece.

I just inherited all my mom's jewelry, too, and am trying to figure out what I'm wearing, what I'd like to add to what I now own, etc. Like I now have more rings than I would regularly wear, so I'm not sure I want another ring.  I like the idea of stacking rings though.

[auntie]

I have a Yurman ring with a Peridot. They still do these, but they're special order.

[caramia17]

I have two, but this is the one my H bought me. Ruby is Caramini's birthstone. I wear it as a right hand ring. Please excuse my gross cuticles.

Bottom is rubies and diamonds in white gold for Xavier.

Top is pink tourmaline and diamonds in rose gold for Katherine.

I like necklaces more than rings, and gave DH these links to look at with DS and choose one to order for my birthday in a few weeks:

[Susie]

tulips, I love that.

[Deleted]

tulips, where did you get those? I love them!

[tulips]

Susie and @awinter

Shane Company. I'm pretty sure you can get them in all gemstones and I think they're listed as wedding bands on the website.

[glitzy07]

My kids are killing me with their birthstones, so I haven't found anything I like. Garnet and ruby. Both red. BORING.

[Susie]

Which is the more commonly used November birth stone, I am seeing it's either citrine or topaz?

[miamigirl]

tulips, those are beautiful!
I'd like to get something like that, although DD's birthstone is the worst (peridot), one more day and we could've been sapphire... Lol.

[SJ]

I have this stacking ring (customized w/ name & birthday)

and plan to add another one for DD2

H approved it, I just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Tiffany elsa peretti initial necklace

I want stacking eternity bands to go with my wedding set. E would be ruby.

Similar in concept to this, but just a simple pave-set band. My wedding set almost exactly matches the band and e-ring pictured here.:

Omg! I have been looking at this website and the rings are so gorgeous! I really want one with DS's stone which is ruby but we are still trying to decide about #2 so I don't know if I should get what I want now or wait. Decisions, decisions.

[arebee]

I want something like this: www.etsy.com/ca/listing/267971711/2-mm-sterling-silver-rose-gold-plated

To go with my wedding rings.

[bowies]

Thin band of rubies. The idea is to get a matching one with DD's birthstone so I can stack them.



I really need to get my old lady hands under control.

ETA: It's too big but I'm waiting to get it sized until after I give birth.

[blueberry10]

I have these, from MountainMetalcraft on Etsy.

[AmyRI]

Stacking infinity birthstone rings from Alari Designs on etsy. (I did a custom order for genuine stones and got rhodolite garnet instead of regular garnet for DD1's.)

I think topaz is more common, but go with what you like best.

Garnets come in a bunch of colors. See if you can find a genuine stone in a different non red shade. I much prefer my rhodolite garnet to the traditional dark red.

[AlpineSlide]

I have 2 pieces from Lisa Leonard for ds1. I can't find either one on her site but one is similar to this: www.lisaleonard.com/bezel-birthstone-necklace-sterling-silver-10k-gold-prd-lpd0071-si-10/
and the other is just a round charm like this: www.lisaleonard.com/petite-mothers-necklace-10k-gold-prd-lpd0024-10/

For ds2 I want to get a vertical bar necklace with his name. Like this:https://www.etsy.com/listing/227772265/personalized-gold-bar-necklace-gold?ref=shop_home_active_6

I've been looking at TinyTags.com of Made by Mary on etsy.

Yes those are the common stones used today. The original birthstone for November was the Imperial Topaz though. It can range from a golden yellow to orange to peach.


I had a ring made of a peach Imperial Topaz in a rose gold setting for DD from a local specialty rock store. It reminded me of the coral color we used in her nursery and from many of her clothes.

I didn't know this!

If anything I was going to use SS' birthstone (diamond) to break up the two reds when I eventually found something I liked.
