In this article, we offer the fashion-conscious reader information about how to choose personalised jewellery, with the aim of helping to choose suitable jewellery.
Let’s face it, we all love to adorn our bodies with stylish jewellery and personalisation is in trend right now. When you give a gift of jewellery, it is nice to have a special message engraved and there are online jewellers that offer a personalisation service, which allows you to add the text you want, as long as it falls within the maximum number of characters.
Here are a few tips when looking to buy personalised jewellery.
How creative can you get with your personalisation?
Some jewellers allow you to add symbols and certain images to your message, not only simple text, while most would have a choice of fonts and perhaps even the size of the font used. Many couples have secret symbols that mean something only to them. If you and your partner share a special symbol, this could be engraved onto a pendant.
Check out the supplier.
If you are buying from an online jeweller (the best prices) then check out their customer service rating. If they post customer reviews, do read them as this is a good indication of what to expect if you order something. If, for example, you are looking for a sterling silver pendant necklace that you can add a special message to, there are online sterling silver jewellers that will engrave your special words.
Check out the return policy.
When purchasing anything online, you should always read their returns policy, which clearly outlines when they will replace items. In the event the supplier makes a mistake with the engraving, will they fix it free of charge? By reading and understanding their returns policy, there will be no nasty surprises later.
Be careful about shipping costs.
Some online suppliers advertise their products at a very low prices, then they add to the shipping cost, which means you didn’t get the good deal you thought. Most online jewellers offer free delivery when you order a certain amount, but jewellery should never be expensive to send, as it is small and lightweight.
Is their website secure?
This is very important, as you do not want to give your credit card details on a platform that is not secure. This security is denoted by the ‘s’ in the URL, https, which indicates the website has an SSL certificate, which is also symbolised by a small padlock icon in the URL window. You should never buy products from any website with the prefix ‘http’, rather look for one with ‘https’, as this indicates the website is secure for financial transactions.
Personalised jewellery is so much more than just a gift, as it allows you to add a special message that will remain with the recipient all the time they wear the item. Once you have decided on your special message, search online for a sterling silver jeweller that offers personalisation and enquire about the cost. When you select a certain jewellery option, there should be a personalisation window that pops up, and you can insert your message into the information field provided. Head to checkout, and with a secure online payment, the engraver will get to work and your personalised gift will soon be dispatched to either you or the lucky recipient, whichever you prefer.
