It’s become painfully clear I’m not having a May baby (GDI). But this means I can start looking for a birthstone ring for this baby and DD. DD was a May baby, so emerald, and this one will be June, so pearl. I’ve been looking on Etsy a little, any other sites? I like the look of eternity bands but I’m open to ideas. Help distract me from the fact that I’m currently the most pregnant I’ve ever been.

I'll play! My parents were going to buy me some June birthstone jewelry too but I opted for a housekeeper instead. I definitely found the best stuff on Etsy. I've also seen that pearl, alexandrite, and moonstone are all acceptable June birthstones. Moonstone is my favorite.

I had birthstone rings made after DD was born, and I chose to go with the alexandrite instead of the pearl. I didn’t feel like the pearl really went with another stone (opal, in my case). I got my rings on Etsy.

I’m a June baby myself, and I’m partial to moonstone or alexandrite. I do like the multitude of options!

I got a peridot stacking ring when my baby was born as my husband, me and baby were all born in August. If we were to have another, I’d get a stacking ring of peridot and the new birthstone (but, it would be August again. Life has a sense of humor sometimes).

Ohhh, I haven’t heard of moonstone. I’m going to google that one. I feel like alexandrite isn’t a good fit with emeralds? I’m not 100% on pearl with emeralds but some I really like.

That’s gorgeous! My wedding/engagement bands are platinum and I wear mostly silver. Is it weird to have a gold band on the other hand? I plan to wear it a lot. |

I was sure this one would be too but my EDD was today and that’s not happening. |

I don't think it weird to mix metals, especially if they're on different hands but obviously if you prefer the white metals then you should go for that. |

I'll have to think on that one. I'm a weirdo with no real preference. I love yellow, white, and rose gold equally. My engagement and wedding bands are mixed yellow and white gold. |

A good friend of mine has mixed bands and they're super pretty on her. I think I strongly look best in silver. |

Now I'm spiraling on moonstone and diamond rings for myself. I'm not sure I can live without this.  |
