November Birthstone Necklace for Women, Simulated Citrine Baby Boy Pendant for Mom, Sterling Silver 18 Inch Box Chain, Mothers Day Gift

Every Ginger Lyne Collection birthstone necklace for women starts the same way, with one charm and one birth month, and then it grows. The charm is 24mm, about an inch across and just under a US quarter, cast in .925 sterling silver with a rhodium plated finish so it stays bright. Each charm carries two stones, a clear round cubic zirconia at the head and the simulated birth month stone set into the body, and the shape tells you which it is, an oval body for a boy pendant and a triangle body for a girl pendant. It hangs on an 18 inch sterling silver box chain that closes with a round spring ring clasp. The twelve stones run simulated garnet for January, simulated amethyst for February, aquamarine for March, simulated diamond for April, emerald for May, alexandrite for June, ruby for July, peridot for August, sapphire for September, pink tourmaline for October, citrine for November and blue topaz for December. Here is the part that matters. When the family grows, open the spring ring, slide the next charm on by its bail and close it again. No tools, no jeweler, no starting over. Ginger Lyne Collection baby charms are sold separately, so a mom necklace can begin with one and become a family birthstone necklace over the years, which is what makes this a grandma necklace as easily as a mama necklace. As a gift it lands on Mothers Day, a birthday, Christmas, a baby shower or a push present for mom, grandma, nana or mimi. It is a sterling silver necklace made for everyday wear, and a soft polishing cloth now and then keeps the silver and the cubic zirconia looking new. A mama necklace sterling silver like this one only gets more meaningful as the charms add up.
