What is a Mother’s Ring?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mother’s rings celebrate the bond between a mother and her children\u2014represented in birthstone gems set within a ring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically, a Mother’s ring holds a set of birthstones relating to each child. However, variations exist, related to any family member, living or deceased. In the latter instance, we also use the term ‘Memorial Rings.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Origins and when to buy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rumour has it that the first example of this ring type dates back to the mid-20th Century. Made by a jeweller for his wife, the ring featured two wedding bands, set with the children’s birthstones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He presented the ring on Mother’s Day at the start of May<\/a>. Please remember that in the US, people celebrate Mother’s Day in May. In contrast, Mother’s Day is at the end of March in the UK and is connected to a church tradition. For this reason, we celebrate it each year on the fourth Sunday during Lent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unique Mother’s Rings – colourful gemstone variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The very first example was a bespoke creation. In fact, we create most of our own examples through our bespoke jewellery design service. Furthermore, we source most varieties of gemstone depending on the type, shape and size required. We rarely stock rings of this type due to the individual nature of each design. For example, some clients favour Platinum for the ring. Others, opt for Gold. We work with 9-Carat Gold, 18 -Carat Gold in white, yellow and rose colours<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A gemstone for each child born<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you choose your ring design, consider how many children you have. Next, work out the birthstone for each child. Every month, we focus on a new birthstone for the month. Choose between US and UK conventions. Also, traditional or contemporary choices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use the following list and chart to work out which gemstones apply in your own situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
