Different Stages of a Mother’s Love Become a Piece of Jewelry

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

Everyone has a story about their mother. Mothers are as different as their unique personalities. Some are patient and kind. Some are loud and obnoxious. Others are very opinionated. In spite of these characteristic differences in a mother's personality, they do the best that they can, as there is no wrong way to love their child.

Let me first point out that being a mother is the most challenging, yet rewarding, experience in a woman's life. Women have the ability to love their child unconditionally, in spite of the circumstances. It is said that a Mother's Love begins at the very thought of conception and never ends; not even after death.

My mother is celebrating her eightieth birthday in a couple months. She is one of those women who needs nothing, and who finds happiness in the simplest things. I decided to pay tribute to her life, and especially her motherhood, buy selecting an assortment of Italian charms that would each have special meaning to her. Each charm reflects a certain period of her life as a wife, a mother and a grandmother. I'm sure it will bring tears for her, but I'm sure it will also remind her of many happy times with more to anticipate.

For the mother who just gave birth to a red-faced, wrinkly skinned, squalling infant with no hair, no teeth, and no idea of who this woman is, her first comment is "Isn't my baby the most beautiful thing you've ever seen in your life?!" A new mother's love is blind.

The mother of an obstinate two-year-old, whose boundaries are constantly being tested, patiently teaches the right way to behave. She allows her child to experience anger and frustration, but ignores tantrums, choosing instead to reward good behavior. This mother's love is patient, for she understands this stage in her child's life is short-lived.

The mother of the kindergartener learns to "let go" and allows her child to explore new experiences, meet new challenges, and discover ways to socialize with their peers. As the youngster grows into adolescence, the mother's role changes with each stage; supporting, encouraging, and challenging the child to become independent. This mother's love is constant.

In a mother's eyes, her child can usually do no wrong, regardless of the circumstances. Not so true in the tumultuous adolescent years. Because the mother did such a good job of raising her child to be an independent, self-reliant individual, teen-agers often push themselves into adulthood before they are actually ready. Mistakes are made. Often, all a mother can do is guide the child to learn from their mistakes; to make better decisions; to accept that her child is not perfect. In this stage of motherhood, her love needs to be very forgiving and understanding.

The child who becomes an adult understands and appreciates the love their mother has shown them over the years. They realize she has been their biggest fan; their strongest support; their best teacher; their most sincere critic. The mother of an adult child finally sees that her sacrifices and efforts in raising her child were not in vain. The love she has for her adult child is full of pride.

There is a special bond formed by mother and child once the child becomes a parent. The mother's ever-changing role is now defined as "Grandmother". This woman's love has come full circle now because she understands the challenges her child will face in raising a child. She knows the rewards her child will receive. She appreciates the lessons in love that her grandchild will learn. For, there is no stronger love than that of a mother; and no love more rewarding than becoming a grandmother!

Let's all celebrate mothers and all the things they are!

Personalized Initial Jewelry Makes An Extra Special Gift

Sunday, October 4th, 2009
Oftentimes, it is difficult to find the right gift when it’s time to show how much you care. It’s hard to go wrong with the gift of jewelry, especially when you’re giving to that “someone special.” Jewelry gifts are an attractive choice because they make the recipient feel special, and that you took the time to select something special. Initial jewelry, for example initial pendants, allow the gift giver to individualize the piece. This extra level of personalization really can make the recipient feel special, and make an ordinary piece of jewelry extraordinary.

You can find initial pendants and jewelry that flatter every personality type. For men, large and bold block letters on a chunky gold chain are stylish, especially if he favors an urban personal style. You can even find gemstone encrusted styles for the really adventurous. For the professional man, a gold ring with block initials is classy and appropriate for every situation. Women, of course, are also fans of the gritty urban style; so don’t assume that bold block styles are only for men! If, though, she is not quite so urban, lovely light italic scripts are a classic choice.

The options don’t stop with initial pendants, and in fact, initials have found their way onto pretty much every variety of jewelry. Rings, bracelets, and earrings are among the options available to those seeking initial jewelry.

For those in a committed relationship, but aren’t ready to get engaged, there is always the option of a promise ring. Promise rings are typically scaled-down versions of engagement rings, but there is no reason to restrict yourself to the norm. By using your first initial with the first initial of your partner, you create a lovely commemoration of your relationship. Every time your partner looks at the ring, she will be reminded of your commitment and devotion.

Never underestimate the power of a gemstone to give a piece something extra special. A smartly situated gemstone draws the eye of the observer, and elevates the “wow” factor of the piece. Of course, a diamond or cubic zirconium are classic and will match practically every outfit. Consider, too, a garnet or an emerald for your piece of initial jewelry. A bold splash of color can really set a piece off in a stunning way. Birthstones, too, are an option to consider, especially if the wearer has other birthstone jewelry.

Regardless of which type of initial jewelry you settle upon, it’s the kind of gift that has universal appeal. Choosing a gift is sometimes a challenge, but it’s hard to go wrong with the gift of jewelry.

Each charm reflects a certain period of her life as a wife, a mother and a grandmother. I'm sure it will bring tears for her, but I'm sure it will also remind her of many happy times with more to anticipate.

A new mother's love is blind as she gazes at her red-faced, wrinkly, toothless newborn. She honestly believes her baby is the most beautiful in the world. Her love for this infant has grown as her womb has expanded. She has lovingly and unselfishly prepared for this moment, for her life as she has known it is changed forever with the birth of her child.

A mother's love for her toddler is patient, as she tirelessly teaches this youngster what society expects of them. Temper tantrums thrown in frustration are dealt with. Lessons in potty training and communication are constant. Though this stage is short-lived, it takes a lot of energy to keep up with a rambunctious child of this age. The mother's love grows with each accomplishment.

The love for the school-aged child can best be described as consistent, as the mother learns to let her child develop an individual personality. She allows her child to socialize; enables her child to experience life; challenges her child to become independent; supports her child through trials and triumphs, alike. Through all of these stages of development, her love is unwavering.

The mother of the teen-ager experiences a love which is forgiving. Adolescents often test their boundaries; challenge the rules; bend the truth. Even though they are trying to be independent, they lack the maturity to do so. Often, mistakes are made. All a mother can do is encourage the child to learn from their mistakes; to take responsibility for their actions; to face the consequences. By doing so, she is enabling the child to grow into a self-reliant adult.

The love a mother has for her adult child is full of pride, for she has the satisfaction of a job well done in raising her child. Her efforts have been successful. Her love has overcome all of the obstacles and stages in life. This love is reciprocated because the adult child realizes and appreciates the love their mother has shown them throughout their life.

There is a special bond formed by mother and daughter once the daughter becomes a mother. The mother's ever-changing role is now defined by the name "Grandmother", and she understands...she knows...she empathizes and sympathizes with what her daughter will need to be as a mother. For, there is no stronger love than that of a mother; and no love more rewarding than becoming a grandmother!
