❤❤❤ Traditional vs Non-Traditional Spellings ❤❤❤
One of the biggest decisions expecting parents face when selecting a custom name necklace is whether to use a traditional or non-traditional spelling for their baby’s name.
A traditional spelling choice is the most commonly accepted version of the name. This option ensures people will quickly recognize and understand the spelling when reading your child’s name necklace. Picking a well-known spelling can also make paperwork and schooling easier down the road.
However, non-traditional spellings allow you to get creative and unique with how your baby’s name is styled. Swapping in extra letters, double letters, apostrophes or creative phonetic spellings can help your child’s name and necklace stand out. Just keep in mind overly complicated spellings may lead to a lifetime of mispronunciations and spelling corrections.
When weighing traditional versus creative spellings, think about your child’s personality and your family’s values. If you envision a child who loves self-expression, a unique spelling may perfectly capture their spirit. For a more reserved kid, a classic spelling can allow their name to speak for itself. You also want to ensure the length and styling fit the jewelry design you have in mind.
At the end of the day, opt for the spelling choice that captures your child while representing your family. The perfect custom necklace commemorates their name in letters you’ll proudly share for years to come.
❤❤❤ Nicknames vs Full Names ❤❤❤
Another decision expecting parents face is whether to engrave their baby’s full first, middle, and last name on their custom necklace, or opt for a nickname.
Using a formal full name can create a sophisticated, timeless piece they can wear for life events like graduations or weddings. It also prevents any confusion or questions about what their legal name is. However, longer full names may wrap or require smaller engraving sizes.
Nicknames are personal, and cute, and capture a casual essence true to a baby. “Tom” for Thomas feels friendly, while “Katie” for Katherine feels youthful. Make sure the nickname has significance and that you’ll be calling your baby by that moniker for years to come.
If your child’s name lends itself easily to short forms, consider including both a full name and nickname style piece in your jewelry order. For example, “Christopher” in script on the front, with “Chris” or “Topher” engraved on the back. This allows your child to transition the necklace as they grow.
At the end of the day, choose the name form that feels the most genuine and meaningful for your baby. A thoughtful custom necklace cherishes your child at any age with letters that reflect your affection.
❤❤❤ Consider the Metal & Engraving ❤❤❤
When selecting your baby’s name necklace, the metal type and engraving style are also important decisions that can impact how the piece looks and lasts.
Softer metals like sterling silver or gold vermeil are budget-friendly options suitable for babies. While prone to tarnishing and wear over time, they can be polished to keep looking nice. Sturdy metals like gold or rose gold will stay lustrous but come at a higher price.
The length of your baby’s name and desired font will also determine the pendant size needed. Short nicknames can be small and delicate. Longer names may necessitate a larger pendant width to ensure the full name is legible when engraved. Swirly script fonts are beautiful for short first names, while sans serif fonts are cleaner for lengthy names.
Consider spacing needs as well. Complete first, middle, and last names with lots of fine details like apostrophes and hyphens will require more engraving real estate versus a simple first name. Be sure to double-check the spelling, as engraved pieces cannot be altered after purchase.
Finding the right metal and engraving style comes down to balancing meaning, budget, and longevity. Our experienced staff is happy to guide you through all personalized options to arrive at a name necklace that fits your vision and commemorates your baby’s arrival in a touching, lasting way.
❤❤❤ Make it Meaningful ❤❤❤
Beyond decisions like spelling, name form, and metal, many parents look for ways to add an extra layer of meaning to their baby’s name necklace.
Incorporating birthstones corresponding to your child’s birth month is a popular way to make the piece more symbolic. Swapping the metal type to align with your family heritage also adds significance. Engraving the back of the pendant with your baby’s birth date, birth location or a short blessing can make the jewelry more unique.
If faith is important to your family, choosing religious motifs like crosses, doves, or angels to accompany your baby’s engraved name offers spiritual significance. For nature-loving families, imagery like trees, leaves, or flowers may hold meaning.
You can also add birth order symbolism for a second, third, or fourth child. Big sister and big brother pendants allow older siblings to celebrate the new arrival. Zodiac symbols align the necklace with your baby’s astrological personality.
A meaningful custom name necklace feels like it was made just for your little one. Work with our specialists to craft a piece as special as your baby’s place in your family’s lives and legacy.
