Wedding Jewellery Etiquette: What Brides Need to Know ?

Have you ever wanted your jewellery to tell a story? A custom gold necklace can do exactly that, transforming a simple accessory into a cherished keepsake. By engraving names, dates, or meaningful symbols, you can create a piece that reflects your most treasured memories and relationships. Whether it’s a loved one’s name or a special date, your necklace can become a personal symbol of what you hold dear. Here’s how you can create a piece that’s truly your own.

1. Engraving names and initials

One classic way to personalise your gold necklace is by engraving names or initials. This customisation is perfect if you want to carry a reminder of someone special.

● Names: Engraving the full name of a loved one, or your own name, can turn your necklace into a meaningful keepsake. 

● Initials: For a more subtle approach, initials are a beautiful option. A necklace with your initials or the initials of someone important can be simple, elegant, and deeply meaningful. You might like monogrammed necklaces, where initials are artistically intertwined, creating a unique and sophisticated design.

2. Special dates and milestones

Another great way to personalise your custom necklace is by engraving important dates. Dates mark significant moments in your life, such as anniversaries, birthdays, or other milestones.

● Anniversaries and birthdays: Commemorate a wedding, a relationship anniversary, or birthdays by engraving the date on a pendant or charm. This personalisation is not only sentimental but also a constant reminder of cherished moments.

● Milestone achievements: Whether it’s the date of a graduation or another personal achievement, engraving the date on your necklace can serve as a reminder of hard work and success.

3. Meaningful words

Words have the power to inspire and evoke deep emotions. Engraving a word on your necklace can add depth and meaning to the piece.

● Inspiring words: A single word, such as “love”, “strength”, “faith”, or “hope”, can make a powerful impact when engraved on your necklace. These words act as reminders of your values, emotions, or personal journey, making your necklace a meaningful and reflective accessory.

● Personal messages: A short, meaningful message or phrase can make your necklace even more special. For example, “always in my heart” or “never give up” can serve as a daily source of inspiration and comfort.

4. Symbols and icons

Besides names and words, symbols are a subtle yet impactful way to personalise your necklace. Engraving meaningful icons or symbols can reflect your personality, beliefs, or culture.

● Hearts and stars: Simple shapes such as hearts or stars can represent love, dreams, and aspirations. You can engrave these symbols alongside initials or names for added charm.

● Zodiac signs: If you feel connected to your astrological sign, consider engraving a zodiac symbol. This adds a personal touch that speaks to your individuality and traits.

● Cultural symbols: Symbols with cultural significance such as an Om symbol, can reflect your personal beliefs, heritage, or spiritual connections. These engravings make your necklace not only a beautiful piece of jewellery but also a representation of your identity and values.

At Kirtilals, we understand that jewellery should reflect your personal style and story. Our custom design service allows you to create a gold necklace that’s uniquely yours. For instance, we can personalise a gold necklace by incorporating a scanned ECG pattern to symbolise the heartbeat of a loved one. By engraving the distinct peaks and valleys of an ECG onto a necklace, you create a deeply intimate and symbolic piece of jewellery. Whether it represents the heartbeat of a child, partner or even a memory, this design adds an emotional layer, making the necklace a truly special keepsake. For instance, this stunning pendant can match the heartbeat of your loved ones. 

Similarly, we can customise our jewellery to feature the fingerprint of a special person in your life. This can be your parents, your spouse or children. So, wherever you go, these pieces will make you feel like your loved ones are always close to you. For instance, check this fingerprint drop pendant that features diamonds.  

We also make jewellery shopping simple from the comfort of your home. With our virtual store, you can explore designs from our global collection with guidance from one of our team members over video call.
