We're having a hard time coming up with a gift for my mom at our wedding. What do you think of a mother's ring? With my birthstone and my fiance's? They're two shades of green, and green is our wedding color, so it seems like a cool idea... but is it weird to give her a ring that showcases just the two of us? I have a brother and sister too... but we were thinking, this is less a mother's ring, and more of a gift to commemorate our wedding.
Here's what I mean: http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/adriannehamberg/Ring1.jpg
Is this an appropriate gift for a mom? She'll be the only parent in attendance, and she's been really supportive of us.
One last question - she has sensitive skin, if we have this cast in sterling silver, would she still be able to wear it? The gemstones are real, but it's twice as much to have it cast in white gold. She's worth it... but we still need to pinch our pennies for the wedding... :)
I'm not going to leave my fiance out, it's our joint gift for my mom. That would defeat the whole point - the ring is in appreciation for her support of us.
Jenn, I love that first link. Thanks for the suggestions!
Answer
You don't know if she has a problem with sterling silver? If I were you I'd find out from her... I have issues with fake metals but not sterling silver.
If you want to do you and your finance's birthstone I'd do a necklace... not a ring. I think a "mother's ring" should include all the children.
This wasn't what I was thinking but what came up first on a search - http://jewelry.novica.com/necklaces/peridot/peridot-and-emerald-pendant-necklace-lime-flower/110180/
This one is cheap but getting at what I was thinking of http://www.limogesjewelry.com/custom.asp?productid=12351 In the "you may also like" section there's one as a heart but that might be more of something for you to wear than your Mom.
Here's another idea that comes as a ring, earings, pendant and/or charm - http://secure.jamesavery.com/jewelry/search/product/R-1305/Mothers-Love-Ring/ It doesn't involve birthstones but it's just something I like.

Wedding gift for my mom and stepfather?

Any good ideas for a gift from me and my brother?
Answer
For my gift to my parents, I took a photoframe with three openings. In the one I had a picture of me, mom and dad when I was a baby. In the second opening, I had a poem I typed out that was about daughters and their parents. In the last opening, I left open so I could give them a picture of the three of us at the actual wedding. I also included a hand written note with a letter. They cried when they opened it!
