My wife's (Lyn) mother passed away at 93 a couple years ago. She had a mothers ring with the birthstones of the 4 kids (wife & her 3 siblings). It was missing 2 stones, badly bent and sitting in a drawer at her sisters. When we were in TX this year, she spoke to her sister and said that if she was not going to fix it, she would like to have it and we would have it fixed and she would wear it. A couple days later, her sister gave it to her and said that she wanted her to have it.
Before........
And "the After"
She loves it, it looks like a new ring. They had to add gold as it was worn thin and also replaced the 2 stones and a third that was cracked.
Lyn loves it and wears it every day in loving memory of her Mom!
