Meaningful engraved jewellery

The love season is on and numerous hearts are waiting to tell and be told each other’s sweet secrets. Easier said than done with love it’s no different. At the least, you can air a message for your beloved, via media. But why let the whole world know? Conveying it to your beloved one, in a very special way, should be enough. There can be nothing better than words to express love but, mind you, jewellery gives them a tough competition. So, is there a way to express love, respect or gratitude where words and jewellery have an equal role to play? Yes, of course there is. Engraved Jewellery is the answer.

Initially created to be an adornment, these days jewellery can also work as a messenger. Jewellery like rings, pairs of earrings, bracelets and pendants can be engraved with special messages, names or symbols that express your feelings for the one to be gifted. And why does it have to be just for expressing love or gratitude? Wearing jewellery engraved with personalised messages, inspirational sayings and motivational symbols greatly distinguishes one’s personality. Engravings have replaced precious gems, thus enhancing the beauty and meaning of jewellery.

Besides being modern and stylish, engraved jewellery can also tell you if your ornament is well-constructed and made of authentic metals. For instance, if a vendor is willing to engrave the jewellery, then it means the ornament is authentically created. And if a vendor is reluctant to do so, it can signal you of the unapparent flaws in the making. Usually, the walls of jewellery like lockets are thinned out to reduce the amount of precious metals like gold and silver used in the construction. 

Talking about metals, the ideal ones for engraving are platinum, tungsten and titanium. But obviously they don’t offer the sleek appeal of gold and silver, which follow them due to increased fragility quotient. The best way to have both strength and shine among engraved jewellery is to select a strong metal and plate it with gold or silver. Engraved jewellery is a great option, as it gives you the freedom of designing ornaments your way, along with the flexibility of choosing font style, size and colour.

Gift Jewellery This Valentine’s Day


Valentine’s Day is around the corner! Turn on the radio and you would hear Savage Garden humming, ‘Truly Madly Deeply’. Go on further and you will hear George Benson crooning ‘Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You’! It’s that time of the year when heart shape balloons carelessly float in the air, when the display of shops is splashed with red, when at every corner you would find cute teddy bears inviting you!

And it is also the time of the year when people buy gifts for their loved ones that represent their love, commitment and concern towards their partners.

If you have given him/her pounds of chocolates, a dozens of cards, millions of flowers and bunch of teddy bears then how about jewellery this year?

Many women prefer something that they can keep with them all the time like a constant reminder of the beautiful relationship. So what better than jewellery which they can wear everyday!

While buying jewellery for Valentine’s Day, it is not necessary that you empty your pocket in a day. Your women would appreciate even a simple piece of jewellery as for her the thought matters. So buy her a beautiful yellow/white gold pendant necklace. The pendant could be in the shape of hearts, flowers, padlocks and keys. If conventional designs is not the way to go, as your partner has an unconventional taste in jewellery then buy an owl shaped pendant, angel wings or something more quirky for her.

If you want to appear more thoughtful then maybe go for something that matches the jewellery collection that she possesses. For instance, if she has a ruby pendant that she wears often then try to find earrings or a bracelet to complement.

So make this Valentine’s Day special by presenting your special someone a lovely piece of jewellery!
