Anyone have any jewelry that have your kids' names or birthstones? Where did you get it?
I want to ask for a necklace/pendant for Mother's Day this year, but DH will not feel comfortable picking something out for me (I don't wear a lot of jewelry, and I wear the heck out of the stuff I like the most).
I was thinking something like this (though this seems $$$, no?):

My SIL gave me a necklace one Christmas with my girls' names on the pendants, but I guess it's obsolete now! (When I opened the gift that Christmas my DH said to her "can a third one be added?" and my whole family was all "ooooh, you're planning on a THIRD baby?" Thanks DH.) The one she gave me is sort of like this: https://www.blissliving.com/gold-silver-curved-charms-necklace.html
Re: Jewelry with kids' names or birthstones on it?
Good idea! Although, I've only been on Etsy once in my life, and I was totally overwhelmed by the choices. I was looking for decals for the baby's room. Is there a trick to narrowing down choices when searching on Etsy?
I really want this one, but it's $$.
Etsy can be totally overwhelming. You can narrow it to jewelry, then necklaces and then type in "mother" in the search box, though.
That is really elegant. I will confess that my kids' birthstones all together may look a little weird, which is why I'm thinking names instead. My girls were born in Feb. and DS in November. So it would be two purple stones (amethyst) and one yello/orange one (citrine). Purple and orange. Hmmm...
I think about jewelry a lot, so I've thought if I don't like the way the birthstones end up you can just pick a representative - like two amethysts and a sapphire for DS.
See the link below for Etsy search. Still alot to choose from, but many of them are the same exact thing. Just pick one you like in the price range you want.

Personally, I have a birthstone necklace from Stella & Dot - my girls are also November and February and I don't mind the color combination. The one I "built" is similar to the one seen bleow (with the leaf) except it is silver. I got the 30" chain, each girl's birthstone, each girl's initial and I put the leaf in the middle. It can be kind of pricey once you put all the pieces together but you could stick with just initial discs or just the birthstones or something. (I got mine using a free credit from hosting a trunk show at my house - if you are interested in hosting one I can put you in touch with my "stylist")

I don't know, this kind of looks like a vagina to me. lol. love the concept, though.
hippotree posted a reeeeally cute one on fb, from etsy. i don't have the link here, but will look for it when I get home.
in person it does look like peas in a pod. you did make me laugh.
I saw this at a Hallmark store around Christmas and I want one now. You can pick any charms you want for the inside and can even add more. They have birthstones in different shapes, and all kinds of other things. Think Pandora bracelet, but these go inside the necklace and kind of float around in there.

My sister got me one when DD was born - when DS was born she managed to take it without me knowing and sent it back to them and they added a second strand for him. It is really nice....

And I'm dying laughing about the peapod looking like a vag - I have thought the same thing!
I have a charm bracelet from this website:

I didn't get the filler beads and instead got birthstone pendants from Amazon:

I did have to have the connections fixed on the bracelet at a jeweler because the clasp was not soldered and I was afraid of losing it. That was kind of disappointing, but I love the name pendants. You can order just those and not the bracelet if you so choose.
