Mothers Pendants
January 16, 2010
I’m sure you’ve all heard of mothers rings, but how many of you have heard of a mothers pendant? Mothers Pendants can be a great alternative for mothers rings.
With a pendant, a jewelry designer has many more options to come up with a unique design in a pendant form. There is simply more gold to work with, and more shapes are possible. Often times a mothers ring will have to get pretty big and bulky to fit all the stones in it. This can sometimes result in a ring that isn’t worn as often as it could be.
I am a firm believer that jewelery should be exactly what you want (after all, what good is jewelry that sits in a box all the time?). A mothers pendant is a great solution to have a piece designed with the sentimental value of all children’s birthstones, while still having an attractive design that can be worn daily.

Mothers rings serve as a memorial for the life of a mother. The typical design includes the birthstones for all of a women’s children. Mothers rings may also include the birthstones of grandchildren (also referred to as a grandmothers ring).
While traditionally mothers rings were very simple, just 2 wedding rings joined by the birthstones, you can now find many unique designs. I recently had the pleasure of working with Leah Ashley Designs, who were able to create a fantastic custom mothers ring.
Mothers Ring Designs
Leah Ashley Designs is a small jewelry store based in Omaha, Nebraska that sells jewelery online. They use computers to custom design all of their pieces. This allowed them to show me a variety of mothers ring designs, and allowed me to offer feedback so that the ring could be designed to look exactly how I wanted it. The finished piece was beautiful, and didn’t cost me any more then the boring cookie-cutter designs found in typical jewelry stores such as Borsheims.
If you are looking for an amazing looking mothers ring design, I would highly recommend Leah Ashley Designs. They work with clients in the Omaha area, as well as around the world.
