Believe it or not Christmas is coming and it’s time to start thinking about your online shopping. Remember personalised jewellery can take a bit longer as many are made to order.

There are a couple of ways to personalise jewellery : names or initials, gemstones, and special places or locations.

Initials
I’m very excited to launch my own range of personalised jewellery with these sweet and affordable initial necklaces. Currently available in copper and brass for just $29 including a 45cm sterling silver necklace chain.

Names
Name necklaces have been cool ever since Carrie on Sex and the City. There are now a few different ways to have names, the traditional cut metal, a wire outline or a stamp or engraving on a metal shape. My personal favourite at the moment is this one from MhohoandCo on Etsy

Gemstones
Birth stones are a subtle way to personalise jewellery and can make great gifts even for Christmas. For the full list of birth stones check out this resources which includes both the precious, semi-precious and some more affordable options (particularly useful for anyone born in xx who’s primary stone is diamond). Fairina Cheng offers beautiful birthstone bracelets like this peridot for August and you can even add an engraved initial for that extra level of personalisation. And yes August is my birthday!

Special Places or Locations
This could be a home state or town, a special holiday, maybe even the place someone got engaged or married. Again etsy abounds with different ways to commemorate including cut outs of state shapes, geographic longitudes and latitudes or even landmarks. I’m very pleased to announce the return of both the silver and copper Sydney Opera House necklace to Wryght Designs. Handcut and finished on a 45cm sterling silver chain and currently exclusive to www.wryghtdesigns.com.
