Engravable Pendants

Round discs give the most room for lettering. Larger discs, with sizes listed in millimeters on each product, hold a name, date and short message. Smaller hearts and slim plates suit a single name or a few initials.

Metal, size and design set the price. Sterling silver and gold-plated sterling silver cost less than 14K gold, and gold color and diameter or length also matter. Details such as a rope edge or a stone add to it. Use the Price filter on this page to set a budget.

Heart disc pendants lead, followed by round discs. Rose gold-plated sterling silver heart discs appear most often at the top of the list. Round disc pendants in sterling silver, lockets and ID plate pendants in 14K yellow gold also rank well.

Sterling silver suits budgets; 14K gold suits a lasting gift. Both hold engraving well. Gold-plated sterling silver gives a gold look for less, while solid 14K gold comes in yellow, white, rose and two-tone. See jewelry care for upkeep.

Yes, some lockets on this page are engravable. The oval and floral heart lockets here have an engravable surface, and a locket also gives you a place to hold a photo. That makes it a good choice for a gift with two personal touches.
