10 Best Personalised Necklaces UK 2023 | Pendants, Birthstones, Initials and More

The perfect investment piece that won't completely break the bank, this stunning piece from London-based brand Merci Maman is plated with 18-carat gold. The necklace itself fits more like an elegant choker, with 7 small round discs or pastilles dotted along the delicate chain.

To make it even more precious, each of the small discs can be engraved by hand with a single letter. You can keep it classy and go with a simple initial on the middle disc, or assemble a name that's up to 7 letters long. Although this will make an excellent gift, it's so wearable that you should get one for yourself too!

Gifting someone a heart pendant necklace can already say a lot about how you feel. This one goes a step further, as you can customise the core with a photo to commemorate special events that you and the wearer have shared. 

The picture is so miniature that it's not on full display, but you can use your phone's camera to reveal the picture or even project it onto a wall. How special is that! The visual element makes this an incredibly meaningful and personal gift as it can remind the wearer of a moment you had together no matter where they are. 

This dainty necklace from The Magical Touch UK may look like any other piece of jewellery on the market. But once you add a personal touch, it will become one of your most treasured possessions. If you are looking for a thoughtful gift for someone special, this pendant is suitable for a variety of occasions, from birthdays to anniversaries.

In fact, we think that anyone from the age of 10 to as old as grandmothers will be delighted with this gift. The necklace offers two customisation options – a symbol, name, date, or initials inscribed onto the round disc, plus the wearer's birthstone to make it even more personal. 

Made of sterling silver and plated with 18-carat gold – with the option to go for plain silver if preferred – you can rest assured that this necklace will stand the test of time. It features a slim chain and minimalistic horizontal bar that hangs just right, below the collarbone.

Up to 9 characters can be inscribed onto the bar for a personal note, such as a meaningful word that brings back memories or an inside joke. Even just a name will make it special. Plus, the simple design makes this a wearable piece no matter the gender or outfit of the day. 

This sterling silver bar necklace hangs vertically and you can choose to engrave 3 names or strings of numbers on the front, right, back or left side. It would make a fantastic family gift as everyone including mum and dad will be able to wear it and keep their loved ones close at all times. 

Additionally, the curb chain is available in lengths from 40 to 101 cm. What makes this necklace even more unique, however, is that it can double up as a medical alert pendant. If you or a loved one is in need of special care, it can include important contact details so that the right person can be notified if anything happens. 

Another meaningful and unique gift idea, this necklace from Bloom Boutique features three crystal birthstones and a disc pendant that can be engraved to fit up to 3 names. It would make a wonderful birthday gift or going-away present for someone who's leaving the nest.

The necklace is available in 2 lengths and either a rose gold, gold or silver-plated finish, making it a perfect group buy that each person can customise. Whether for best friends or sisters, mums and grandmas, each crystal represents someone special, allowing the wearer to hold them close to their heart at all times. Unfortunately, the material is not specified so there is a chance of irritation.

This intertwined charm necklace from Merci Maman symbolises an ever-lasting bond and can be used to commemorate different relationships such as a mother and child, a pair of lovers, or BFFs. It features two circular intertwined charms, each able to hold a meaningful note that will be engraved by hand upon request. 

The chain is 40 cm in length and can be adjusted up to 5 cm, so you won't have to worry much about the fitting. It is not a cheap option, but since it's from a trustworthy jewellery designer, you'll get your money's worth in terms of quality.

A classic locket pendant that opens up to reveal a special picture is a precious keepsake and an always-thoughtful gift idea. We've chosen to include this intricate, 925 sterling silver design in our ranking for its beautiful twist that combines rose gold and silver.

On the downside, the finishing may not be as solid as you would expect for the above-average price tag. While plenty of users simply love their necklace, some have said that the locket was too difficult to open and others said it was too loose. 

We all have that special someone that we want in our lives forever, and there's no better way to express it than with this infinity pendant necklace. You can customise it to include a name that will connect a part of the infinity symbol, and you can also have something engraved onto the pendant itself. 

Although it is a very pretty and thoughtful necklace, there were a couple of poor reviews on the necklace's finishing. According to some users, the chain and clasp are especially flimsy and may break easily while putting it on which is something to keep in mind. 

Create a special necklace either by choosing one letter or a string of charms to spell out a name or word with this initial necklace from the Philip Jones Store. Every letter is subtly adorned with Austrian crystals that glimmer in the light for a sparkly effect. 

Whether you're buying it for yourself or as a thoughtful present to someone you love, this classic design will never go out of style. One issue is that if you want to purchase more than one charm, you need to buy them separately as whole necklaces, leaving you with more chains than you need. Also, the brass alloy may irritate those with sensitive skin.
