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.

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 jewelry to symbolize motherhood was a piece made up of two thin wedding bands. Between the bands were two birthstones relating to the mother’s two son’s birthdays. This type of jewelry was very popular in the 1960′s and it is tradition that the stones run from left to right from oldest to the youngest child.

Birthstones are said to have powers specific to the stone and the person wearing them is empowered by the stone. An example would be that March’s birthstone is aquamarine. This stone is said to attract affection and friends. A mother wearing aquamarine in honor of her child should be well liked and have many friends. The legend also states that as long as the mother wears her children’s’ birthstones, they will be protected.

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.

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.
