anyone have/want a mother's ring?

farrellashleigh · February 2010

The only thing that comes to mind is my moms hideous mother's ring, it was a big gawdy thing. But when I had H I thought it would be cute to find a more "modern" type ring to wear on my right hand. The other idea I had was to get a simple band with alternating diamonds and topaz to wear with my wedding ring since I don't have a band.

Anyone else?? Just curious

I've looked for a nice diamond and pink tourmaline ring (DD born in October) but I haven't found one that I love. I don't want it to be gawdy. If I find one, fine, if not, no big deal.

My wedding set belonged to my grandmother, and it sort of bothers DH a little bit that he didn't buy me my engagement and wedding rings. I told him that what I would like, if he really wants to buy something is a diamond and sapphire anniversary band, since sapphire is DS's birthstone.

I have one, it was my Mother's Day present before Thomas was born. It's small and has my, DH, and Thomas' birthstones. Making it more of a family ring than Mothers ring..

it goes - peridot, ruby, peridot with small diamonds separating them. I wear it everyday and love it.

My mom has the most beautiful Diamond and Sapphire ring and believe it or not she got it at Costco. It's gorgeous.

Well, DD is sapphire and so am I. DH bought me a sapphire for Mothers Day while I was pg so I kind of already have one. I could always get another though, maybe a band with engraving and sapphires someday.

I don't have one, but if I did, I think I would get a micro-pave eternity band in DS's birthstone. That way it would be very dainty and I could stack it with rings for any other babies.

DD, DH, and I were all born in August, and I already have a few peridot rings. So, since we have the same stone, I have been wearing those rings more lately since they are kind of a "family" ring. I'm thinking we should try to plan the next baby in August too for this reason, but then I think of how expensive that month would be with 4 birthdays!

some good ideas! My wedding ring has pave diamonds and that's what I think I'd like to do alternating the birthstones.

So here's a question, do you think I should get the traditional topaz color or something else like blue topaz or something?? I'm not a huge fan of the amber colored topaz but it is his birthstone so I don't know.

you know I never even thought of this! That would be a nice idea, getting a family ring. My ring would be very green as DH was born in May so emerald, and both DS and I were born in august, so peridot! I love green so... hmm.

DH got me an opal ring with small diamonds on the sides... I told him we have to have our next one in April so it covers them both

My mom & aunts made rings when my grandmother died 11.5 years ago with the diamonds from her wedding band. They each got a diamond set and had an opal set on each side b/c opal was my grandmother's birthstone. My mom gave me the ring at Christmas last year because my birthstone is diamond and DS's birthstone is Opal (October). Diamond is also my great grandmother's birthstone (my grandma's mother). It's really awesome to have a ring that has so much meaning and story behind it. It's a very unique ring.

I'd like to have one one day... but not till I'm sure I'm finished having kids. No need to buy one now then have to get another a few years down the road.

DH did get me this really awesome family tree necklace that I had been wanting.

Since it wasn't super expensive, I'm not concerned about wanting to replace/update it down the road.

That's funny, because DH pulled one up on the Costco website to ask if this was what I meant, and it was exactly what I wanted!

A friend of mine is getting some type of diamond band to wear for each child (could get to be a bit much depending how many they have...) and planning to give it to the child to use as a wedding band.

My ILs bought me a family ring while they were here in Dec as a "welcome to the family" type gift. I got it with Peridot (DH), Sapphire (me) and Opal (DD, for October.. I hate pink tourmaline, so I was glad they did Opal there). I even asked if I could add more stones to it later, and they said they could (as I'm planning on having 3 kids total). It's a plain white-gold band, and the stones are inset, so I don't have much issues with scratching DD.

BTW, I know you mentioned you don't like topaz... isn't November's stone Citrine? Do you like citrine at all? It's a yellow stone.

I don't have a ring but I have two bracelets. One is a charm bracelet with an engraved disk and a peridot on it that can be added to for any other children. The other is the David Yurman I got for Christmas that has peridots on the ends. I told DH that's enough peridots for now.

I think the rings are sweet too though - I'm just not a big ring person (I wear my wedding set and that's it) and wear bracelets more.
