Personalize Your Jewelry Style

When you add your personal touch to something, you are giving it a taste of your emotions and sentiments. Whether it is for an engagement or wedding, birthday or any special occasion, personalized gifts have more life than readymade gifts. When you are thinking of getting something for a girl, a little jewelry always does the trick. You don’t need to buy diamonds to win her heart, you just make sure that the gift comes with love, and you will win her over for life. Does the idea of personalized jewelry sound prospective? Read on.

One may think that custom jewelry is expensive. To be honest, searching for the jewelry store that makes such jewelry and you will be amazed to find a wide assortment of options. Necklaces, bracelets, rings, charms – you name it, and you will find at least a dozen related options. The advantage of choosing personalized jewelry is that you can get your thoughts or message hand-stamped. If you are looking for silver jewelry, and want to engrave the words ‘Friends Forever’, the jewelry store will stamp the words on a sterling silver disc.  You are given the freedom to choose the font and the style as well as add little details like a freshwater pearl or birthstones to make it more attractive.

Another benefit of giving personalized jewelry includes customized fitting for body or hand size, plus custom jewelry is usually higher quality than mass-produced items. Another advantage of such jewelry is because of its uniqueness; you will be giving or purchasing one of a kind item. A unique piece can also be passed on as a vintage heirloom, so make sure that what you choose reflects your style, love and unique to your needs and taste.

If you have an idea for custom jewelry and the perfect occasion to give it, don’t waste any time finding a jewelry store that houses a variety of options. A personal touch is much more appreciated and gratifying.

Customized Gifts for Special Occasions

A girl loves her jewelry. It helps her style and gives her a unique persona. Gold, silver, platinum or diamonds, rings, earrings, necklace or bracelets – jewelry or even trinkets are very pleasing to wear. I myself am fond of trinkets and almost every month, I end up buying nice pair or earrings or rings for myself or for my friend. So whenever I see something new, being an impulsive buyer, I purchase it for myself.

My friends know me so well that on my birthday, they often give me gifts, too. But what they gave me this time was something beyond my expectation. I usually plan a small gathering at my place for my friends and family and usually choose a theme.  Everything matches from the decorations to the lighting to the foods and drink. My friends usually come a day before and help me set things up, but this time, they said they something had come up and they would come by later.

So without further discussion, I went on and arranged things on my own. Then exactly at 12 midnight, my doorbell rang, and to my surprise my friends sprang on me, their hands filled with food and gifts. I was delighted to have them and quickly brought in plates and glasses to begin the party. They also bought my favorite cake, red velvet.  Then they gave me a small box with a pearl dangling on it. I looked suspiciously at them and thought it could be as prank. But when I opened it, I saw the most wonderful present that I could have ever received. It was a personalized bracelet, hand stamped with our initials and a ‘Friends Forever’ engraved on the sterling silver plate, with a crystal and a freshwater pearl dangling at the corner. I got overwhelmed and we embraced in a group hug. This was perhaps one of the beautiful gifts a friend can receive.

If you are thinking of giving someone a token of love or want to personalize your reciprocation, opt for customized jewelry like personalized bracelet and watch your loved one enjoy your gift.

Wearing your Heart on your Sleeve




I was looking for some sterling silver jewelry to go with my new black dress, but nothing in the stores at the mall caught my eye. There was something special I was looking for, something personal, that would reflect who I am and what I like. I browsed some online websites, but again, the regular run-of-the-mill items never seemed to match my taste. 

I came across TheVintage Pearl website and realized that what I really wanted was something unique, something custom. So I started browsing through the eclectic collection of hand stamped jewelry and was immediately floored by the numerous ways in which I could add a personal touch to my jewelry collection.

I finally zeroed in on a love birds necklace that has a charm of love birds on a chain. On the other charm I chose to have my spouse’s initials stamped with my own as well. Along with this, I couldn’t resist ordering leather cuffs for him with both of our names on them.

My Charm Necklace is like a part of me – I never want to leave the house without it.  Jewelry like this is perfect for so many different events and situations.  When my brother gets married next year, I’d love to order something custom for all of the bridesmaids and groomsmen, and something special just for the happy couple.  I’ve given my nieces a charm to add to their charm bracelets every year, and this year I’ll be sure to add a personalized trinket.

In a day and age where everything is mass-produced in large quantities, it is refreshing to have access to something that is unique, small batch and custom.
