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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.)
My kids are killing me with their birthstones, so I haven't found anything I like. Garnet and ruby. Both red. BORING.
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.
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.
Which is the more commonly used November birth stone, I am seeing it's either citrine or topaz?
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.
