Mothers jewelry usually consists of the birthstones relating to the mother's children. It can also contain stones that represent the mother and father as well. Birthstones signify the month in which the family member was born.
Birthstone jewelry that represents family has been around since Biblical times. A garment was worn by the temple's High Priest festooned with stones that represented the twelve tribes of that era.
Legend has it that the first symbolic jewelry for mother's consisted of two wedding bands joined together by the birthstones of the sons of the mother. Mother's rings were very popular in the 1960's and the birthstones were usually set from left to right in order of birth.
Birthstones are given certain attributes or powers that have come down from age to age. The person wearing the stone is supposed to get power from it. A mother wearing a child's birthstone is said to receive those attributes. A mother with a child born in March would wear an Aquamarine. Aquamarine is supposed to bring love and affection to the wearer who is supposed to be able to make friends easily. The mother would be well respected and liked in the community and should have many friends. Folklore also states that the child will be protected from all ill as long as the mother wears that birthstone.
Mother's jewelry comes in many different forms. There are bracelets, broaches, and necklaces in addition to rings, however, rings tend to be more popular. They are circular symbolizing never ending love. Folklore dictates that wearing a ring on the third finger of the left hand symbolizes that the person giving the ring was attached to the heart, so the wedding ring is worn there. It is appropriate that a mother's ring be worn on that finger as well.
Mother's rings can consist of a central stone surrounded by smaller stones or they can be several rings that can be stacked to make one. Stones can be different sizes, the largest representing the oldest child to the smallest representing the youngest. No matter what it looks like, mother's jewelry is a beautiful reflection of the life of a mother.
