Engraved jewellery is a fantastically personal gift, but also a big commitment. Not only do you have to spend that little bit extra to get the engraving done, but once it’s there … that’s it. It’s engraved. Often engraved jewellery is bought as a gift for a loved one, and as such, it’s important to consider the best thing to get them. If you’re having trouble, or just fancy a bit of inspiration, look no further. Here are some style tips to buying engraved jewellery:
What do you want to say to them?
There is little point in just slapping a random picture of a heart on your engraved jewellery unless it truly means something to you, and conveys the exact message you want. So, it’s best to sit down and really consider why you’re getting someone this gift. Is it to remember or commemorate an occasion? Or to remind them of how much they mean to you? Better still, if you have a certain word, phrase, or object that has symbolic meaning to the two of you, that could be the way to go. It would be so much more appreciated than a heart or star; if you’re putting in the effort to get it engraved, you want it to be personal.
Is it better said in words or symbols?
Now you have your message, consider how to convey it. Typically, a single word or a symbol are the favoured options. These are timeless and classic, but there are other options too, such as coordinates, or a waveform of your voice. Once or twice, a parent has even sent off a picture drawn by their child, to get a replica of that engraved. The possibilities are endless! There is also something to be said for considering the recipients’ personal style. If they have a classic, clean look, then perhaps don’t overdo it and engrave a full sentence. If they’re a bit quirky, perhaps consider some of the more unique options, such as morse code or the waveform. It’s not just about how best it is said, but also how well it will be received.
What type of jewellery?
The most popular engraving options are usually necklaces, bracelets, and rings. Of these, it must be said that engraved bracelets are the most versatile of the three, as they have the most style options and ways to personalise it. Nomination Italy have some fantastic options for these, from being able to engrave tiny plaques, to personalised links in composable bracelets. All of the options are made to the highest of Italian quality standards, and the affordable price of the products only makes sweeter the pricelessness of the sentiment behind the jewellery.
