The Timeless Appeal of Personalised Jewellery
Personalised jewellery has once again become one of the most sought-after gifts, offering more than just a Silver or Gold accessory—it’s a piece that carries significant meaning for the wearer. Whether it's for a birthday, anniversary, or a just-because gift, personalised jewellery is a sure bet to be a treasured keepsake.
The History of Personalised Jewellery
Personalisation in jewellery dates back centuries, with roots in ancient traditions of honouring gods, rulers, and marking social affiliations. Engraving, an art form that began half a million years ago, has been a way to tell stories, signify wealth, and represent personal milestones. From the etchings on cave walls to the intricate carvings on gemstones in Greece and Egypt, personalisation has been a part of human history.
In the 15th century, metal engraving became increasingly fashionable, with coats of arms and shields bearing family crests to symbolize loyalty and allegiance. This evolution of engraving paved the way for personalised jewellery as we know it today.
The Rise of Personalised Jewellery in the Victorian Era
The Victorian era saw a significant rise in the popularity of personalised jewellery, with intricate designs that often carried secret messages of love and devotion. The Victorians were particularly fond of monograms, seals, and elaborate engravings. These pieces were more than just accessories; they were symbols of status and personal identity.
Monograms became a popular form of personalisation, often featuring the initials of the wearer or their loved ones. Victorian monograms typically included three letters, with the last initial—often representing the family name—placed prominently in the center. This tradition of monogramming has seen a revival in modern personalised jewellery, offering a timeless elegance that remains popular today.
Perfect Personalised Gifts She'll Love
At Bianca Jones Jewellery, some of our best-selling pieces are from our personalised jewellery collection. Following the Victorian tradition, you can choose monogramming to engrave a necklace or bracelet, adding a personal touch that makes the piece uniquely special. Whether it’s an Initial Necklace for a new mum or a Double Initial Necklace for best friends or couples, these pieces are perfect for any occasion.
For newlyweds, symbolise the unity of marriage with interlocking initials, or for a mother of two, engrave the initials of her children. Our Triple Initial Necklace offers even more personalisation options, making it a thoughtful gift for any special woman in your life.
Adding a Sparkly Personal Touch
Beyond engraving, our personalised jewellery collection includes Birthstone and Diamond Initial Necklaces and Bracelets. Adding a birthstone alongside an initial makes for a truly meaningful piece. Birthstones are not only beautiful but carry their own meanings, myths, and legends, making them a perfect addition to any personalised jewellery.
How to Wear Personalised Jewellery
Personalised jewellery offers versatility in styling. Layer multiple necklaces for a chic, layered look, or keep it simple with a single pendant. Our Double Disc Collection showcases elegant personalised pendants that can be worn together or separately for added style.
For something unique, consider our Double Disc Latitude and Initial Necklace. One disc is engraved with an initial, and the other with latitude and longitude coordinates of a special location. Whether it’s your first home, wedding venue, or favourite vacation spot, these coordinates add a personal and meaningful touch to your jewellery.

Whether in a necklace or bracelet, personalised jewellery is available in sterling silver, 18ct Yellow or Rose Gold, and solid gold to suit any preference. Each piece is handcrafted with care, ensuring that it will be a cherished keepsake for years to come.
