Is a ring a weird present for 18th -from your parents?

[brimfull]

is it ?

saw a gorgeous aquamarine one

I don't think so
I got a watch off mine, but it was a close call between ring and watch iirc

I got an opal ring from mine for my 18th. I loved it, until I lost it at uni.

I got a ring from mine for my 21st. Still wear it.

No, it's a nice present if she like rings.

Not at all - a lovely present. If you got it from a boyfriend at 18 chances are you'd break up and never want to wear it again! Much better to get it from your parents!

No

hmmm losing it is a possibility.

My granny gave me a ring for my 18th, and I loved it. I still have it now.

No. DD got a lovely antique sapphire ring for her 18th. She hsan't lost it yet. It's the sort of present she'll still have when she's 80 and thinks fondly about being 18 - go for it.

hassled-would love to give her antique one.

I got a beautiful ring from my Dad for my 21st Birthday, i was chuffed, so no i think you will be fine.

As Ms Average is 11 years away from marriage and unlikely to afford her own, I think it's great idea. I got one for my 18th and we all still agree that it was much better gift than the lifetime membership of the National Trust that my best friend got..

god national trust membership -that's cruel

My God, national trust membership? 'You're an adult now - settle down to enjoying a nice stroll round the garden'?

I got a locket for my 18th and also now have the aquamarine necklace my mother got for her 18th. I think jewellery is a lovely present from your parents.

I got a ring from mine for my 21st. Still wear it.

I had a ring for 18th, an antique gold band. I wore it every day until 2 yrs ago when pregnancy meant my fingers outgrew it . lovely present

Not at all, I think it makes a fantastic present. Both my sister and I were given lovely rings for our 18th's and many years down the line we both still have them and wear them frequently.

no not at all, im getting dd one for her 18th ..

thanks for your replies

am now on the look out for a nice aquamarine one if anyone has any suggestions

not weird at all
