Mother's Rings

For decades, moms have been advertising their affection for their children in t-shirts and coffee mugs printed with words like "Johnny's Mommy" or "World's Greatest Mom." The latest trends for moms are a lot fancier, though. These days, mommies everywhere are showing off their brood in with dazzling sparkle, in the form of a mother's ring.

Mother's rings come in as many varieties as engagement rings, and with birthstones to represent each child, every mom's mother's ring is unique to her own family and style.
The most basic style of mother's ring is a band-style ring in white or yellow gold with channel set birthstones representing each child or grandchild in the family. You can order the stones however you'd like. Lots of people do the mother's birthstone first, then on down the row from oldest to youngest child, but often it looks better to arrange the stones differently for a more appealing look in your mother's ring.

In a standard mother's ring, the stones will be small, usually round. Most rings are available with either genuine or synthetic gemstones, giving you some flexibility on the price. This mother's ring has colored baguettes, which some women may prefer over the more common round stones, and it is available in either white or yellow gold.

You're certainly not limited to traditional band rings when you shop for a mother's ring. Another popular design is this heart-shaped mother's ring in sterling silver, which feature's the mother's birthstone in the center and up to six children's stones on the heart.

If you'd like to include children's names on your mother's ring, there are several styles that allow for engraving on the band, like this engraved band mother's ring or this heart-shaped mother's ring design.

For a mother's ring with larger birthstones, maybe your mother would like a style like this one. Larger stones work well in rings for smaller families, but when you have a family with lots of children and grandchildren, something like this would be rather gaudy.

If you have lots of kids in your family and you just can't find a way to arrange those birthstones so that they don't clash, a different style of mother's ring might be more suitable for you. Instead of featuring birthstones for every child, this ring has a mother and baby together. When you wear it, everyone will know you're proud to be someone's mom.

Special mother's jewelry isn't just limited to rings, though. If you've already bought Mom a mother's ring, maybe she's ready for the necklace to go with it. Read more about other types of mother jewelry.
