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.
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.

Folklore also states that the child will be protected from all ill as long as the mother wears that birthstone. Read more... (435 words)
