Engraved jewellery is the epitome of personalisation and uniqueness. With a wide range of different options available to you, from words and phrases to images and numbers, you can create a one-of-a-kind piece of jewellery that will be both timeless and treasured by the recipient for decades to come.
Despite being personalised specifically for any individual, engraved jewellery is the ideal gift for: women, men, children and any special occasion, including christenings, weddings, birthdays and anniversaries, to name a few. But what is it about engraved, personalised jewellery that makes the perfect gift? Let’s take a look:
1. It makes a unique gift
We’ve already touched on this briefly, but engraved jewellery is incredibly unique. It’s tailored specifically to the individual who will be receiving the gift, making it a special, one-of-a-kind item that belongs solely to them. With something as unique as engraved jewellery, it’s obvious that you have put in the thought needed to be able to come up with a personalised piece of jewellery that the recipient will absolutely love. What’s more, there are plenty of different options available when it comes to engraving jewellery.
Some of the things you could engrave include: a significant date, initials, an image, a phrase, a piece of poetry or even a line of music. With so many things to choose from when it comes to engraved jewellery, it shows that you have thought, in depth, about the recipient’s: likes, dislikes, tastes, style, hobbies, friendships, relationships and interests. In turn, their engraved jewellery item will be, seemingly, made for them. What says “unique” more than a personalised piece of jewellery?
2. It can be gifted to anyone
Engraved jewellery is something that can be gifted to absolutely anyone. Whether you’re looking for the perfect Father’s Day gift or an unforgettable piece of engraved jewellery for a baby’s christening, engraving is a versatile option when it comes to personalising jewellery. Almost any piece of jewellery can be engraved, including gold and silver. However, you must consider how hard or soft a material might be.
Platinum, for example, is incredibly hard-wearing, so engraving might be more expensive or your engraving choices might be somewhat limited. Silver and gold, on the other hand, are much easier to engrave. Then again, silver and gold are also timeless and versatile, so they’ll go with everything style-wise, whilst also lasting a lifetime. This is what makes engraved jewellery items the perfect present for anyone and everyone.
3. It can be given at any occasion
Engraved jewellery is something that can be given at, almost, any occasion. Whether you’re going to a baptism or a wedding, or wish to gift engraved jewellery for a milestone birthday or anniversary, it’s something that can be kept and treasured for decades to come, whilst still keeping the memory of the occasion alive.
With engraved jewellery, also, the benefit is that you can engrave the jewellery piece with a significant date or meaningful words that help to encompass the occasion into the item forever. For example, you could gift engraved jewellery as a present for your sister’s 21st birthday, so engrave the jewellery with her birthday or a phrase like “happy 21st birthday”. The possibilities are endless when it comes to engraving jewellery.
4. It’s a memorable keepsake
As we’ve already mentioned, an engraved piece of jewellery is the perfect way of keeping the memory of the occasion alive for many years to come. Depending on what you choose to engrave the jewellery with, the recipient will be able to look back at the jewellery you got for them and be reminded of fun and marvellous times. From a simple glance to a detailed inspection, an engraved piece of jewellery acts as a memorable keepsake for any recipient, regardless of the occasion it was gifted for.
5. It’s a timeless piece
Usually, silver and gold are the most common metals that are engraved when it comes to jewellery items. This is for the simple fact that they’re softer and can therefore be engraved more easily when compared to other metals.
As such, silver and gold jewellery items, whether they’re engraved or not, are considered to be timeless jewellery pieces that can be teamed with anything when it comes to clothes, accessories and even the colour that someone chooses to paint their nails with.
The fact that those, initially, plain silver and gold items are classic all on their own means that an engraved jewellery piece is that much more special and timeless simultaneously. Engraved jewellery will never go out of style, and it will only grow in sentimentality as the years go on.
6. It’s a conversation piece
Engraved jewellery pieces are, as we’ve mentioned, unique. The fact that they’re like no other piece of jewellery makes them a talking point for most people. They will wonder where you got your jewellery from, only to learn that it has been personalised specifically for you.
The other good thing about engraved jewellery is that someone could purchase the same piece of jewellery, but have something different engraved on it entirely. So while your jewellery piece is unique to you, your friend’s engraved jewellery is unique to them.
While the piece of jewellery itself will be the same, they will each be considered to be one-of-a-kind in their own way. Engraved jewellery acts as a conversation piece no matter who’s wearing it and regardless of what’s engraved on it.
7. It’s an expression of sentiment
Engraved jewellery is, by definition, a piece of jewellery that has been personalised. In order for something meaningful to be engraved onto the jewellery item, some thought and research must have gone into it. You need to know personal information about the recipient, depending on the occasion it is for.
Where you might know when their birthday is or the year of their birth, you may wish to have something special engraved onto the jewellery piece, like a quote from their favourite film or an excerpt of poetry or some prose from a novel they like, for example. This means that you’ll have to find out more about the recipient, unless you’re already particularly close to them.
