July 2011 Moms

I doubt I'll ever get Mother's birthstone jewelry

Just to cure boredom I did this mock up of mother's jewelry done in birth stones 

 image I am not a fan at all, I just don't like the color combination.  Boo!

Re: I doubt I'll ever get Mother's birthstone jewelry

  • 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 Wink (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.  Wink

    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

    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

    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.  Wink

    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!

  • I would love a June Baby to score a pearl ring :)

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

  • 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.Smile

  • 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.
