Mother's Day Gift from Etsy.com

My sweet husband got me an early Mother's Day present, and I just had to share:

Ever since I spotted a set of stacking rings in the window of a jewelry store in Salt Lake City, I've been in love with the idea of simple rings that stack up to make a statement.

This was 5 years ago, and I filed that idea away in the "someday" category.  Then one night while surfing Etsy.com, I stumbled upon this ring from Heather Duncan.

Designed and created by Heather Duncan Designs

I love the simplicity of the design, but wasn't sure that I needed red rings.  I started thinking how beautiful and simple this set would be as a birthstone ring(s).  And what a wonderful Mother's Day present.  I had an online convo with Heather and told her about my ideas.  She selected the right stones, worked up the hammered style and handcrafted the set.

The result is just what I wanted: simple, elegant and heartfelt.  I have some amber (the same color as a golden topaz) for my November birthday. The blueish stone stands for Aquamarine (to symbolize my oldest son's March birthday).  The white stone simulates Pearl or Moonstone (to symbolize my youngest son's and my husband's June birthdays). 

My favorite thing about it is that it's handmade by Heather.  Etsy has spearheaded a DIY revolution, and I love checking out all of the new things that creative people are making.  Now I just have to stop wearing it long enough so that my husband can wrap it up and give it to me next weekend.  Do you have a favorite Mother's Day gift that you've given or received? I'd love to hear about it.
