Most custom made mothers rings
and mothers |
Some rings are also made specifically for sisters or friends with each sister/friend having a ring. These rings signify the special bond between them.
These rings have also been presented as a special gift to the new mother of the children on the couple's wedding day... a gift signifying unity or the joining of the family or families.
Step Three- Do you want just stones or would you like names?
Some rings are made with only stones... some are made with names and stones... others are made with only names. Only a few collections offer mothers rings that are personalized with names. Below is a list...
Step Four- Will it have genuine or simulated stones?
Now you need to decide on the type of stones that will be set in your mother's ring. Genuine stones are products of nature which are often treated to either bring about or enhance their beauty using industry standard techniques. Simulated stones only imitate the genuine stone (some months imitate better than others) however most varieties are much more affordable than genuine stones. Some exceptions can be Garnet, Amethyst, White Topaz, Smokey Quartz, Peridot, Citrine and Blue Topaz. Click on the option boxes provided on each product page to view pricing of genuine stones for that particular mothers ring.

Step Five- What mothers ring style is best?
Style is strictly personal preference... some women like traditional, classic designs because they are timeless. Some women like bold, freeform designs which make a fashion statement because of their uniqueness. If you are unsure, browse our collections of specialty rings for mothers to find one that is right for you and always read the information provided.
If you are not sure you will like a particular mothers ring design, we recommend that you order in a sample to view prior to purchase. Our samples are provided by the mfr. and are gold plated brass set with simulated stones. Generally only one sample is available for each ring design. and samples are for viewing only and must be returned.
Step Six- What ring size do I need?
It is ALWAYS best to order your family ring in the correct size to begin with. While most of these rings can be resized (Treasure Rings are not resizable), it can be expensive especially if you have The Original Mother's Ring because there are two bands that must be resized.
If you are
in doubt as to the correct finger size, we recommend that you order
a set of plastic finger sizers to help determine the correct
size or have your finger sized locally by a professional jeweler.
Note: When ordering the Original Mother's Ring, you should have your finger sized with a 5mm wide finger sizer if you order this ring with a "gap". |
Step Seven- What metal quality or color should I select?
Most rings are available in 10k or 14k gold. You will usually have a choice of yellow or white gold and it is usually based upon the color of precious metal a women tends to wear. Some designs are also available in 18k and/or platinum.

Why are nontraditional stones offered? Each mfr. offers their own selection of genuine stones so it is important that you view the stone options for each individual item by clicking on the option boxes. Nontraditional stones are usually offered for two reasons... because of price (in order to keep pricing more affordable) or because of the ring setting (some mothers ring prongs are not long enough to securely hold a cabochon- domed without facets- like Opals or Moonstone or a sphere like a Cultured Pearl).
The following collections offer Cultured Pearls in many of their mothers ring designs... # 2, # 6, # 10
The following collections offer Opals in many of their designs... # 2, # 10, # 13
Some of the rings in the following collection can be made with genuine Alexandrite... # 4
What are Stackable Mother's Rings? Stackable rings fit nicely together (must be matching designs with the same item number) so generally 2-3 rings can be comfortably worn on one finger. Each ring usually represents one family member. A unique reason to select stackables is that down the road the child's ring can be given to them or their spouse.
What is a Treasure ring? A Treasure Ring is a ring that is very unique because, while it looks like a regular ring, it has a latch that opens. Two sides of the ring are hinged so they open to show your personal hand engraved message and possibly birthstones that are hidden on the inside. Truly a special ring when presented to any mother.
What is a commercial grade genuine stone? Commercial grade stones are usually lower quality stones. A few mfrs. offer them to keep pricing of their mothers jewelry lower. It is most noticeable in rubies and emeralds which appear more cloudy. Sapphires may also be quite dark. Look for our own personal rating for that particular collection located on the Product Information page. A link is provided on each mother's ring page.
