Design Your Own Name Engraved Necklace
A name engraved necklace is a timeless, personal accessory that can be worn on special occasions or on a day-to-day basis. People love name engraved necklaces because they’re highly customized, including selecting from a variety of fonts, materials, and stones.
Whether you want to create something special for you or someone you love – here’s everything you need to know about customizing name engraved necklaces.
Why Choose a Name Engraved Necklace?
There are lots of reasons people decide to gift a personalized necklace, or decide to order one for themselves. Name engraved necklaces are an opportunity to celebrate an individual in tangible form. They’re versatile enough for formal events and everyday wear.
They’re also classic pieces that can become family heirlooms. Imagine having a custom made pendant that was originally your grandmother's. That would be something worth holding on to!
When can you give a personalized necklace to someone?
Custom jewelry is a great gift for any occasion. Birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, or other notable milestones are all great times to give someone a name engraved necklace.
Steps to Design Your Own Name Engraved Necklace
Here’s the process for designing and customizing your own name engraved necklace.
Choose Your Style
From bar necklaces to nameplates and pendants—custom name necklaces come in many shapes and styles. Start by looking at different jewelry designers to get an idea of all the options out there.
As you browse, consider what type of material you might prefer. Many places offer gold, silver, rose gold, or mixed metals.
At Waystone, we offer charm necklaces in sterling silver or gold fill. You can also engrave our custom stone necklaces, choosing to wear a stone that we have in stock or send us your own stone in the mail.
Select the Font
There are also lots of font options available for a name engraved necklace—which is another way to reflect your unique style. Cursive will look more elegant, and potentially more old fashioned (depending on the style of cursive). A typewriter print may look more simple and minimalist. You can also often customize the size of your font.
There are no wrong choices when it comes to fonts. As long as you’re excited, that’s all that matters.
At Waystone we offer engravings on charm necklaces with the fonts Clarendon, Freight Sans Pro, Hummingbird, and Garamond.
Pick the Chain Type and Length
Your chain type and length is another way to express your unique style. Some common chain styles for custom necklaces include cable chains, box chains, and snake chains.
Consider the chain length that best suits your style and comfort. A shorter chain will rest higher on your collarbone, while a long chain can drape as far as the middle of your sternum.
At Waystone, we have necklaces on cable chains, box chains, or a long/short chain. You can choose a chain length between 14 inches to 30 inches. Check out our chain length guide if you need some extra help deciding what length to get.
