Mother's Rings

Birthstone Rings for Mothers and Grandmothers

By , About.com Guide

Mother's rings let moms and grandmothers use birthstones to display the birth months of their children and grandchildren. The mother's rings in this collection are unique, just like the children they represent, but they're not just for moms. Stackable rings, especially the eternity version, lets your girlfriend or fiancé display her birthstone next to yours.

Read descriptions to determine exactly which metals and stones each ring is created from, since many of the birthstones are simulated.

Links were giving me a few problems on the day this shopping list was created. If they do not take you to the correct price range, look in the column to the left for categories that let you fine-tune pricing.

1. Mother's Rings Priced Under $100

You'll find a nice variety of mother's rings in this collection, all priced under $100. Some are much less, and designed to be stacked together, like the example shown to the left. This assortment of mother's jewelry includes a few necklaces and pendants, some that 'match' the rings.

Designs are similar, but the gemstones used in these rings (many are either simulated, synthetic or treated to enhance color and clarity) are somewhat larger than those in the lower priced category, and metals include sterling silver and gold filled or gold plated metals. Mom's birthstone appears as an emerald cut simulated stone as the focal point of the ring shown here, with children represented by smaller stones.

The size of stones grows again in this collection, and some are quite large. The styles could be the perfect choice if Mom likes to wear lots of color, but it may be best to slip back into a lower pricing category if she prefers more subdue jewelry. Some of the rings in this collection include small diamonds placed alongside the birthstones.
