Birthstone rings?

[JerseyJanice]

If you wear one, is it your birthstone or your child's or grandchild's?

I wear my son's birthstone (peridot) because I don't like my own (sapphire).

Mine's a diamond so my engagement ring does double duty.

[dizneenut]

I wear my birthstone (garnet). DH bought it for me for Christmas a few years ago.

For my (ahem...40th) birthday a few months ago, my parents bought me an opal ring, earrings and pendant which I love. It is my birthstone, but it is a rather delicate stone so I don't wear them too often. I'm afraid they will break.

I wear my birthstone in a ring. I also wear the birthstones of my grandsons in a pendant

<font color=navy>Poohlovr - great pendant!!! Where did you get it?

[Saffron]

I love gemstones, so I wear any of them. My birthstone is aquamarine. I have a beautiful pair of earrings made with aquamarines that I love to wear.

Janice -- you probably know this already, but saphires come in beautiful shades of pink and green too. Pink saphires are one of my very favorite gems. The pink color is very deep.

Thanks, Mary Jo--

I got it through Disneystore.com It was also in the catalog, but, I'm not sure it's still available.
I get a lot of compliments on it.

I wear my son's birthstone for two reasons I suppose. #1 my ring is a mother's ring and it was given to me by my son and #2 I really don't like my birthstone either (garnet).

I wear my own birthstone on a ring (blue saphire-sept)

and I have a charm necklace with my 3 kids on it. 1 diamond (april) one ruby (july) and a blue topaz (december). People sometimes kid me and say I am wearing the "red/white and blue"

[nativetxn]

I wear my own birthstone, peridot. I didn't use to like that stone, when I was much younger, but I finally saw one in person, not just in a photograph and it's much prettier than I thought it would be :)

[JerseyJanice]

Could I use a pink sapphire for my birthstone? That's a thought although I am happy with my peridot ring.

I don't like the dark blue sapphire you see most of the time. There's one called Ceylon (I think) that's a lighter shade of blue, and I'd prefer it, but man, is it expensive.

Poohlover, I adore that birthstone necklace. Very pretty!

I love my birthstone-Garnet- and have a ton of peices, but I rarely wear them. I just don't wear a lot of jewelry.

[MineeBaby]

I wear mine too, which is also garnet.. :) Arthur bought it for me about 3 years ago for a birthday present. :)

[caitycaity]

jj - you could also go for a star sapphire. i ADORE star sapphires; i have one on a ring.

i wear my birthstone (no kids, LOL): topaz

[worm761]

i wanted to wear my DS (emerald-may). mine is june-pearl. dont care for those.
i couldnt find an emerald that didnt look gaudy on my finger so i have a gorgeous puple tanzanite set. purple is my favorite color. and besides...i look so young i cant get anyone to show me anything at the jewelery stores!!

[Pin Wizard]

I wear my birthstone all the time. I just love the Amethyst! :teeth: Maybe I should look for a new one to treat myself...one with Amethyst and Diamonds! DH and DS are both diamond.

[Fire14]

I wear my BS at times it's a pearl or the other stone,Alexdrite I think it is for june. I also have a beautiful ruby ring my Fiance gave me as a bday gift one year that is his BS. My parents as gave me a daughters ring which is my bs in middle with theirs on each side in interlocking loops.
I now have a diamond so the other rings take turns :)

[Tiggerlover91]

Mine is a RUBY !!:p I was quite excited when I bought it for myself a couple of years ago when I came into some money. I got it for just a little over $100 at Sears...on sale AND 50% off!! Not bad for a ring that was originally over the $200 mark huh?? ;)

[Lars624]

I have a June b-day and I do wear a pearl ring sometimes, but what I really want is a Mother's ring. My twins were born in April & my DS was born in Feb. so my ring would be 2 diamonds & an amethyst. I think I'll tell DH how badly I need that for Christmas.

[EngrDaisy]

My birthstone is amethyst, which is perfect for me since my favorite color is purple. I am not a big fan of rings. I will wear one if I ever get a proposal, but that is about it. I wear the birthstone Mickey earrings that are sold in the parks. They are offered in fake silver as well as fake gold, which makes me happy because I prefer silver. Yay!

My mother wears a necklace with all of our birthstones; one amethyst, two garnets, one October (the pink one), and one sapphire. She bought big charms for her children and decided that she will add on smaller charms when has grandchildren.

[WDWfanatic288]

my birthstone is a peridot...I wear it in my tinkerbell earrings sometime! :)

[ShuisFan584]

I love my birthstone (emerald) but I don't wear it because I don't wear jewelry.

[Amy]

My birthstone is a diamond, so my engagement ring does double duty. For our 10th anniv., DH got me a ring wrap that has 2 small diamonds and 2 amethysts, which is DH's birthstone. One Mother's Day DH surprised me with a mother's ring - leaves in that "Black Hills Gold" (two-toned gold) with birthstones of both of our DS's plus our DD who was stillborn. Besides a watch, my engagement/wedding rings and mother's ring are the only jewelry I wear.

[snoopy]

I never thought about wearing my child's. I like my birthstone allright, but it doesn't look good with my coloring. Its July, ruby.

[CamColt]

DH/DS gave me one for Mothers Day and its DS's, which is also mine(December, Blue Topaz). Then DS#2 came along...in January. I dont really care for Garnet so I havent made it a point to get anything with his BS on it. Poor kid! ;) :(

[Boo'sMom]

with both of our birthstones, and then the stones for all three kids.
I wear it everyday...with 5 stones set in a channel setting, it doubles as my wedding band (that no longer fits..lol)

[Rock'n Robin]

I love my birthstone, which is also ruby, and I wore it in both my HS and college rings while I wore those. But now I have my mother's ring with aquamarine, alexandrite, and a diamond (bless DD#2 for being an April baby!;) ). I still have some ruby earrings, although I very rarely wear nice ones anymore. Sometimes when I get up at 6 to get ready to teach I'm lucky if I remember to wear earrings at all!
