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.
