Engraved Necklaces and Pendants

Like any piece of jewellery, choosing an engraved necklace involves careful consideration.

For your own engraved necklace, think about how it will complement your unique personality. Or, if it’s a gift for a loved one, consider how it will fit with their overall style. Some like the sleek yet simple aesthetic of an engraved bar necklace or dog tag, while others prefer something with classic elegance, like a circle pendant surrounded by diamonds. 

Another key element to consider when choosing necklaces for engraving is the occasion. For a gift for a wife or partner, a set of initials or your anniversary date on an engraved heart necklace is a heartfelt way to say that you care. Celebrate a birthday with a diamond pendant inscribed with an initial, or a loved one's first Mother's Day with a bar necklace engraved with her child's name. 

Finally, consider the shape of your engravable pendant. Hearts and circles offer lasting chic that’s always on trend, while spinning circle and shield pendants have a unique quality that adds to the timelessness of an engraved message.  

When considering what to write on an engravable necklace, speak from the heart. 

Choose to have the name of a parent, a partner or a child inscribed on a bar necklace or have your own name engraved as a way to express your personality and style. Treasure a significant moment in time by having a special date engraved on a silver necklace, such as the date of your wedding anniversary or the birthday of your son or daughter. Or mark an exciting new phase in life by having an inspiring word inscribed on a dog tag necklace. 

The size of an engravable pendant will also determine what you can have engraved. If you want to have a name, date, or meaningful word inscribed, a bar necklace, dog tag, or larger pendant is perfect. Pendants with a smaller surface area are ideal for engraving initials.

Available in a variety of shapes and sizes, a name engraved necklace can be styled in a number of ways, giving your look a more personal feel.  

Match a gold engraved necklace with other gold jewellery to create a balanced look. For example, pair a gold engravable heart pendant with matching huggies or a gold circle pendant with one or two sleek curb or cable chains. 

Wear your name engraved necklace with other personalised jewellery that tells a story, making a strong statement about your individuality. This may include initial necklaces or bracelets, birthstone pendants or pieces with a meaningful symbol that best reflects your personal style, like a Cupid pendant for the romantic at heart or a bee for the nature lover. 

A men's engraved necklace pairs well with a tungsten or platinum band, or a bracelet in the same chain style. Women, meanwhile, might choose to layer an engraved necklace with necklaces and chains in a range of precious metals to create a look that’s truly one of a kind.
