Choosing a Personalization for Engraved Necklaces

This article offers inspiration and guidance for your engravings, so you end up with the best necklace for yourself or a loved one.
The Significance of an Engraved Necklace
Fast fashion and off-the-rack jewelry trends — like the basic heart necklaces and gemstone tokens — are surface-level gifts. They can be stunning and stylish, but they don't offer the true intimacy that personalized necklaces do.
An engraved necklace simulates the bespoke jewelry process, and this creates deep meaning for the wearer. Bespoke items are custom-made and specifically designed with the recipient in mind.
Think of vintage engagement rings, designing an heirloom piece for a child, and other traditional custom jewelry options.
These items are a pretty and stylish gift but also a reminder of a permanent connection between two people. Some special moments that can be memorialized through engraved jewelry include but are not limited to:
- A career retirement
- A school graduation
- A wedding anniversary
- A friendship anniversary
- A milestone birthday
- Mother’s Day
- Memorializing a past loved one
- Your first Valentine’s Day
Plenty of life moments can be properly celebrated with an engraved necklace. The key is picking the right design and engraving to go with the occasion.
How to Choose the Right Engraved Necklace
Gifting an engraved necklace is a special memory, especially when you have the opportunity to customize it for yourself or your person. The last thing you want during this process is to struggle through settling on a design. Below we’ll outline how to choose the right engraved necklace so you can enjoy the moment.
First, you'll need to inspect the types of engraving styles, then you’ll choose the ideal custom messaging, keeping your recipient in mind throughout the process.
From custom name necklaces to shared mottos on silver bar necklaces, here's how to personalize women's engraved necklaces with confidence.
Review Types of Engravable Necklaces
There are plenty of engravable necklace options to choose from, and starting with a solid design will help determine the engraving, metal, and overall look. Consider the following tips when thinking about jewelry styles:
- Everyday wear or special occasion – If this is a piece intended to be worn daily, it's best to match existing jewelry metals. For example, avoid designing a rose gold plated 'everyday wear' piece if you or your loved one is a silver-only gal. And if you or your loved one commonly mix metals, pick whichever color you love!
- Chain length – Measure and cut a piece of string to the ideal necklace length. Once you’re happy with the length, look for pieces listed at that same number.
- Layering necklaces – It's becoming more common for women to layer multiple necklaces for everyday wear. If that's your recipient’s style, you’ll need to consider how this piece will look added to the collection. For example, picture a pendant necklace with a longer chain necklace or an initial necklace. Decide which option works with your or your loved one’s regular style.
Bonus tip for layering: Pair a choker with similar-length necklaces to create a seamless style.

There is one especially unique personalization style that fits many special occasions — adding your handwriting to the piece. Customcuff offers the opportunity to include handwriting on an engraved necklace and other jewelry pieces.
Rings, bracelets, and necklaces all can be customized with handwriting, a small drawing, or even symbols. (Think of all the touching possibilities!)
This custom style is deeply impactful for the wearer and will quickly become their favorite jewelry piece. This is how it works:
- Select meaningful existing writing or draft something on paper.
- Take a clear picture of the document and upload it using the ‘Upload’ button on the product page.
- Wait for a stunning necklace to arrive in your mail!
Once they get the picture, our team erases the background and etches only the writing/drawing into your selected piece. The options for customization here are endless. You only have to make sure the etching fits onto the metal space. We recommend a small drawing or a short phrase.
Get your loved one something more than just birthstone necklaces and locket necklaces. Actual handwriting jewelry is intimate and guaranteed to move the recipient deeply.
