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.

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 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.

Today mother's jewelry comes in many forms. It can be found in necklaces, bracelets, and broaches. Rings continue to be popular with the legend that they are a never ending circle symbolic of a mother's love. In ancient times it was thought that the third finger of the left hand was attached to the heart, the reason a wedding band was worn on that finger. Mother's rings are also worn on that finger symbolizing motherly love.

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.
