Birthstone Mothers Jewelry Makes A Great Gift For Mom
Birthstones take the forefront in jewelry specifically made for mothers to symbolize the birth of their children. This jewelry can also contain the birthstone of the father and the mother themselves. Birthstones correlate with the months of the year and there are twelve for each month.
Jewelry that is linked to twelve months or signs of the zodiac goes all the way back to the Bible. The High Priest in the temple often wore a garment adorned with the twelve stones that represented the twelve tribes of Israel.
The first type of mothers jewelry featuring the birthstones of children was a piece made with two wedding bands joined by birthstones. These rings were a big seller during the 60’s and it was traditional that the stones be set from oldest child to the youngest.
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.
Mothers jewelry in this day and age comes in many guises. There are necklaces with drops of stones, bracelets with bands of birthstones and broaches that sparkle and shine with the stones of the family. Rings continue to be most popular probably because of the age old belief that rings symbolize eternity or a never ending circle. Wedding bands are always worn on the left ring finger because this finger is associated with the heart. The mother’s ring can also be worn on this particular finger.
Mother’s rings can take different shapes. They can have one large stone with many smaller ones or there can be one per ring that is piled up on the finger. Many times the stones are of varying sizes the largest being the oldest child. Mother’s jewelry can be a great gift to a mother that will remind her of her children forever.
