Personalised Necklaces
Personalised necklaces turn one pendant into one person's story — a name in script, a date that matters, a birthstone for each child, or a photo hidden inside a locket or projection stone. Every piece is made to order in 925 sterling silver, with selected designs finished in gold or rose-gold plating.
Prices start from £35.95, with engraving entered exactly as you type it at checkout.
Deciding What Goes on the Pendant
Choose the personalisation first and the design second. A name necklace suits someone who wears their identity openly; an engraved date or message suits a quieter sentiment; birthstones work when the gift represents several people — children, grandchildren, a whole family. If the necklace is about one irreplaceable image, a photo design says it best. Our guide to the best personalised necklaces for women compares the main styles by recipient.
Photo Lockets vs Projection Pendants
Both carry a picture, but differently. A locket opens to show a printed photo whenever you like — browse personalised photo locket necklaces for that classic keepsake feel. A projection pendant hides the image inside a small stone; it stays invisible until light or a phone camera reveals it, which makes it feel like a shared secret. Lockets suit sentimental traditionalists; projection suits someone who enjoys the surprise.
Made to Order in 925 Sterling Silver
Every necklace here is crafted to order: your engraving, names or chosen birthstones are applied to a base of 925 sterling silver, with selected designs finished in gold or rose-gold plating. Because each piece is produced for one specific person, allow the typical 7-12 working days for delivery, and check spelling carefully — personalised pieces are made exactly as entered.
Who They're Usually Bought For
Anniversaries, milestone birthdays, new babies and Mother's Day dominate. Multi-stone heart pendants and interlocking Russian ring necklaces are favourites for mums and grandmothers — see personalised necklaces for mum — while couples lean towards engraved and photo designs. For a gift built around birth months, personalised birthstone necklaces let you add a stone per family member.
Keeping a Silver Pendant Bright
Sterling silver is tarnish-resistant rather than tarnish-proof. Wipe the pendant with a soft cloth after wear, keep it away from perfume and chlorine, and store it in its box between outings. Engraved lettering needs no special treatment — a gentle clean with mild soapy water keeps the recesses crisp.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a photo locket and a projection necklace?
A locket opens to reveal a printed photo you can see anytime. A projection necklace hides the image inside a small stone — it appears when you look through it against light or with a phone camera.
What can I have engraved on a personalised necklace?
Depending on the design: names, dates, initials or a short message. You enter the text when ordering and it is engraved exactly as typed, so check spelling and capitalisation before checkout.
How do I pick the right birthstones?
Each birthstone matches a birth month. Most shoppers add one stone per person the necklace represents — children, grandchildren or partners — and list the months in the order they want them set.
Are the necklaces real sterling silver?
Yes. Every necklace is built on 925 sterling silver; selected designs add gold or rose-gold plating over that silver base. Each piece is made to order rather than taken from mass-finished stock.
Can a personalised necklace be returned?
Personalised and engraved necklaces are final sale because they are made for one person. Non-personalised items can be returned or exchanged within 60 days.
How should I store a sterling silver necklace?
Keep it dry, away from perfume and chlorine, and store it in its box between wears. A quick polish with a soft cloth keeps tarnish at bay.
