Now it may be just me, but I think that those
generic Mother's Rings that you find in all the Jewelry Stores are just...
Down Right Hideous!
(see picture) Most are cookie-cutter rings that lack any great thought or design.
You go into a Jeweler to get that great Mother's Day Gift, and they present you with a tray of Brass Sample Mother's Rings.
These rings have synthetic stones in them. (You'll just have to imagine what 'Genuine' stones will look like!)
So you see a Dozen Sample Rings...
Half of which are big and gaudy and ridiculous to think that any Mother would want to wear.
So right off the bat, your choice goes down to about 6 rings. None of which are jumping out at saying "BUY ME!"
Now some of the rings left, have 'S' link bars (see picture again) ('S' is for Snag!), some have straight bars (ditto), and most, sadly, just have a couple of cheesy small prongs holding in those small, 2-3mm stones. WOW, there's so much I could talk about here. But I'll try to stay on track.
What's Left?
You are left with about 5 rings ultimately to choose from. One or two of these could probably be eliminated, because they don't hold the right amount of stones you need. Be it, 1 stone or 8 stones, there's a good chance that your choice of Mother's Rings will now drop down to roughly 4!
Now here's the Million Dollar Question:
If a third of the city buys a Mother's Ring at some point for some occasion, how many times will your lovely Mother see her cookie-cutter ring on someone else's hand?
A lot!
Do you think she'll be proud to wear it? Proud to wear a ring that's thin and light-weight and CHEAP? A ring that with in a year, I would bet, she'd snag one of those rinky-dinky prongs and snap it off and lose a gemstone. These rings are not made well. I see stones come out of them all the time.
So what do some people do to spruce it up? Read on...
