OT: Adoption Rings
Awhile back I think someone did a post about buying adoption rings? Does anyone have a photo to post?

I bought mine on our 3rd adoption pick up trip. I got mine made at the Jade Factory store in Antigua. Mine had to be custom made since I have 3 children adopted from Guatemala and most of the rings that are already made have one big mother stone, and either 1 or 2 small stones for the child. Mine is silver with the mom stone being the black jade, and next to the mom stone they put a med. green small jade stone and on the 2nd ring that connects are a small lavendar stone, and small pale green stone. I love my ring and after I told my friends who also adopted from Guatemala about the Mother and Child ring, they bought one on their pick up trips! My ring is very special to me and I love it!
New Document This is the link for the jade store in Guatemala. The ring is called a mothers ring and you can get it made in silver (alot cheaper!) and pick out the shades of jade that you would like. They are very easy to work with. Martina

I added to the existing design on mine. Ava's stone is on a ring by itself and it is the jade of her birth month. On the other ring is the jade of my birth month and the jade that represents "mayan strength and courage" which I added to represent Ava's bmom.

I have the ring in New Document and in silver I wear it every day. It's lavender and black. I love it. Get asked about it often, and can't wait to give Kaya her part some time. Even thought I will miss it! We may just have to go back to Antigua and buy her one of her own! I asked for mine for Christmas. We got it on p/u though, it was the one thing i wanted from GT. Love it

I have the same one as the link above. My mom bought it for me in Antigua when she joined me on my pick-up trip. I stared at one in the Westin jade shop on every visit trip, but I would not let myself buy one until I was picking up. And then my sweet mother bought it for me as a gift to commemorate that special time.
Mine is silver (I don't like yellow gold), and both jade stones are lavender. I wear it every day - about the only piece of jewelry I wear. I LOVE it!

Here is the contact person that I used and posted about some time ago. She is at the Jades, S.A. store in the Marriott and was wonderful to work with through email and then on the phone when I placed my order. (She speaks English).
Brenda Fong 011-502-2410-1777 ext. 8043 bafl76@hotmail.com She has given me permission to give out her information. I used to have a color chart of the different colors of Jade. I will see if I can find it and post it. The rings are just beautiful. I have a 3 stone ring with the largest stone lavendar and the two smaller stones are two different shades of green. I get lots of compliments on it.

Here are the pictures that Brenda sent me. The last picture is my ring. The larger stone looks really light in the picture but it is actually a very pretty lavendar.

Thank you for posting this! I have been to GC 5 times over the course of 2 adoptions and I have no idea how I missed this either. At least since I am still waiting on BC I have the chance to buy one this time! Thanks for lifting my spirits a bit. This has been a rough week for me.
