Mother's rings are part of a trend towards giving your mom a truly unique gift of jewelry. These are a good way of showing the number of children or grandchildren you have in your life. The typical mother's ring comes with the children's names inscribed on the band or on a set of multiple stacking bands. Also, the rings may have multiple small gemstones with or without the names to symbolize the children.

Some rings will also have one larger stone in the shape of a heart to represent the mother's love for her children. Mother's rings have an elegant style to them, usually with vibrantly colored gemstones as accents. The stones are cut in the round, triangle or as small squares. You may wish to alternate shape based on the gender of your child and colors on the personality.

These rings have recently gained popularity due to some larger store chains choosing to carry the mother's themed jewelry and are taking hold in popular culture. Grandmother's rings are starting to be made as an extension of the mother's jewelry line for grandma's who wish to show some connection to their grandchildren, though if you have a lot of grandchildren you may end up with many rings crammed with small gemstones. One drawback to these rings is that the family never remains static so your ring may require a few more gemstones every year. So buying a Grandmothers bracelet that you can add to is a good alternative.

When purchasing a ring for yourself or your mother look for a style that can easily be added to, especially if you're planning on more children. Jeweler's can easily add names or small stones to certain types of ring bands. It's always a good idea to consult with a jeweler about the possibility of adding to the ring or bracelet before purchase. Or, you can simply choose to plan on buying a new ring each time a child is born. This may get costly unless you stay in the lower priced regions when purchasing.
