So far mine is January and August, light green and dark red - looks like Christmas jewelry - NICE. I did get two charms for my Pandora bracelet and spaced them out - so it isn't as obvious...

Those are the exact colors for my 2 if this baby waits to July. I haven't really cared for mother's rings but I wouldn't be opposed to receiving 2 separate rings lol. Did you try the combination in a white gold setting? I wonder how that would look.
What's your birthstone? Mine is diamond so it looks pretty good with anything (though ironically I was supposed to be a June baby). Is your DS1 yellow topaz/November?
When DD was born I got a pendant made from a life insurance check I got from my Grandma's estate. It's a circle of sapphires (september) and diamonds. So that will go to DD. For this one I already have pearl studs and a tincup necklace from our wedding, so not sure if I'll get anything or just give her those when she's older. Or if she goes late I guess I will have to get a ruby and diamond something some day, just to be fair.
My 10 year anniversary is next year so I may just ask for something neat that's sapphires/pearls or sapphires/rubies. Though I kind of want an eternity band.
The sad thing is there's a small safe at my Dad's house full of Mom's jewelry, 80% is NMS at all and I have to battle over the 20% we both like with my sister. Though I get her 30th anniversary sapphire/diamond ring and told my sister she could have the wedding set (since she's not married yet).
Is the yellow stone November? I don't think it's bad...but I don't blame you. Mine would be sapphire and ruby...not a fan of that either. I think getting two separate ones is the way to go

If this one goes late I'll get patriotic jewelry (sapphires & rubies) and if I throw my birthstone in (diamond) it will look REALLY like that's the intent.
This is what I didn't know, do you include DH and yourself in Mother's jewelry? If so it'd be
I threw mine in with DDs just because they're diamonds and they go with everything. MH is May (emerald) and with the price of those, no I won't be including his.
My grandmother has a mother's ring (3 stones for 3 kids) and then a grandmothers ring (6 stones) and I've always liked them, but with 2 kids I'd think 2 stones would look goofy. Even moreso if its a pearl and a sapphire.
My mom managed to have 2 July babies (ruby) and a September baby (sapphire). Plus my parents got married in April, so she worked in diamonds. I don't like the style of her ring, but I like the stones!
Im another doomed for patriotic jewelry. Brianna was December, Camden April, this one potentially July. Its sad, but Id almost be ok with a week late baby just for the August stone.
Mines citrine too I HATE it & J's is ruby also.

They have alternative birth month stones for that reason. Well I'm sure it's not for that reason but you don't have to go with the pearl.
I personally wouldn't add DH to my ring, because he's not one of my kids.
And to whoever said their ring would be patriotic mine would too. DS1 was born 9/24/09 and DS2 is July sometime.

Yeah....mine's not lookin too good, either. If I include DH and I, I get blue, pink red and green which look horrible together. If I don't, then I'd get Christmas colors. I wish they had opal instead of that pink tourmaline crap. It would still look like crap, but at least I'd get my real birthstone.

This is what I didn't know, do you include DH and yourself in Mother's jewelry? If so it'd be
DH - citrine
Me - ruby
DS#1 - citrine
DS#2 (if a July baby) - ruby
Anyone else want to cure boredom this is what I was playing around with

WIth this one due in July, #1 was April, and #2 Dec. I would be looking for a red white and Blue ring.
