Birthstone Mothers Jewelry To Honor A Mother
Jewelry for mother’s can be a representational type that signifies the mother’s children. The representation is achieved by using birthstones and can consist of the childrens’ stones and include the father and mother’s stones as well. Birthstones represent the month in which a person was born.
Representational family jewelry is not something new. The concept goes back as far as the Bible. The High Priest in the temple wore a garment that was decorated by gemstones symbolizing each of 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.
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.
Some mother’s rings come in straight lines of stones around the ring while others can have one central prominent stone with several smaller ones positioned around it. Sometimes the largest stone will represent the mother with other stones representing the children the larger the oldest child and then graduating down from there. Mother’s jewelry, be it a ring or necklace is a wonderful representation of family.
