A family birthstone ring is one band set with a stone for each of her children, in the order they were born.
It’s the kind of gift that stops a mum for a second when she opens it, because she works out what the stones mean before you have to explain. We make each one to order in our Bangkok workshop, choosing and setting every natural stone by hand. If you’re thinking about one for Mother’s Day, here’s how to get it right.
What a family birthstone ring actually is
The idea is simple. One ring, one stone per child, arranged along the band. A mother of three wears three stones. Add a fourth when a fourth arrives. Some mums include their own stone, or their partner’s, so the whole family sits on one finger. There’s no fixed rule, which is the nice part. You’re building it around her family, not fitting her family into a template.
Because we make it to order, the ring is shaped around the number of stones and the size of her finger, not pulled from a tray. If you’d rather see finished pieces first, the birthstone collection is a good place to start, and the name rings show how we build personalized bands.
Choosing the stones: one per child, by birth month
Each child’s stone is set by their birth month. That’s the whole system. You tell us the months, we source natural stones to match, and we set them in the birth order. Here’s the month-by-month guide so you can picture hers before you order.
| Month | Birthstone | Month | Birthstone |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | Garnet (deep red) | July | Ruby (red) |
| February | Amethyst (purple) | August | Peridot (green) |
| March | Aquamarine (pale blue) | September | Sapphire (blue) |
| April | Diamond / white stone | October | Pink tourmaline / opal |
| May | Emerald (green) | November | Citrine (golden) |
| June | Moonstone / pearl | December | Blue topaz / turquoise |
Every stone we use is natural and hand-set, so two “September blues” won’t look identical, and that’s part of the charm. You can read where our stones come from on our gemstones page.
Silver or gold, and which suits her
We make the ring in 925 sterling silver or solid gold. If she already wears mostly gold, match it so the ring joins her everyday stack. If her other pieces are silver, keep it cool-toned. There’s no better metal here, only the one that looks like hers. When the stones are bright, a plainer band lets them do the talking.
Getting her size right without spoiling it
This is the one thing people worry about, and it’s fixable. If you can borrow a ring she already wears on that finger, we can work from it. If you can’t, message us on WhatsApp and we’ll give you a quiet way to find her size. We’d rather sort this before we make the ring than resize it after.
Ordering in time for Mother’s Day
A family birthstone ring is made to order, and with several stones to source and set it needs a little runway. Give us about 7 to 10 days on the bench, plus shipping, and order a couple of weeks ahead of Mother’s Day to be comfortable. Every ring comes with a 3-year warranty, so if she wants a stone added the year a new grandchild arrives, we’re here for that too.
Questions mums and gift-givers ask
How many birthstones can a family ring hold?
As many as her children, and then some. We regularly set three to five, and we can build wider bands for larger families or add her own and her partner’s stones.
Can I add a stone later when another child arrives?
Yes. Bring the ring back and we’ll add the new stone. It’s part of why people like this piece: it grows with the family.
What if I don’t know her ring size?
Borrow a ring she wears on that finger, or message us for a simple way to measure without giving away the surprise.
Are the birthstones natural?
Yes. Every stone is natural and hand-set by our team in Bangkok, so each ring has a little variation of its own.
