My wife has a birthday coming up and I want to get her something really special. I was considering getting her custom made jewelry. Any ideas?

Is custom made jewelry a good gift? What are some options for customized jewelry? When is custom jewelry appropriate as a gift? On what occasions?

Custom made jewelry is a unique and intimate gift. If you are looking for something that is truly one of a kind, an item which is personalized for your loved one, then consider the following custom made jewelry items:

  • Name engraved ring: These rings are usually crafted with sterling silver, which is both lustrous and affordable. Name rings are engraved with your loved one's name, and are set with his or her birthstone (consider adding your own birthstone to the band, so as to make it a more intimate gift). The sterling silver name engraved rings make a perfect birthday gift.
  •  Engraved family name and birthstone band: The family engraved band is custom engraved with the names of the loved one's family members, and is set with their birthstones. The birthstones are usually set in the order of birth, while the mother's birthstone is set first and foremost. The engraved family name and birthstone band is a lovely gift for Mother's day.
  •  Heart-split pendant: The heart-split pendant is a nice concept since the pendant can be shared by the couple. The pendant can be custom made with the precious metal of your choice and is commonly engraved with the couple's names and set with their respective birthstones. The heart split pendant is a popular birthday or anniversary gift.
    Customized couples' heart band: The band is made up of two intertwined hearts, made out of precious metal of your choice. This custom made band is engraved with the couple's names and mounted with their birthstones.
  • Personalized dog tag pendant: This gift has more of an edge to it. Army dog tags are made into personalized pendants, engraved with the loved one's name and a personal message of your choice (which can include anything from song lyrics to memorable dates, sweet nothings to sentimental lines).
