Personalizing Jewelry...

Personalizing is not just for stationary, wedding gifts, plaques, money clips and whatever else they sell at the personalization store in the mall anymore. Now you can personalize everything from jewelry, clothing, water bottles, your shoes, your car, you name it! It is all the rage right now. and I personally (see what I did there) LOVE IT!! This trend continues to build in popularity and is here to stay.

One way to personalize jewelry is with charms or colors. The other is with words, numbers or symbols. I have been asked many of times, what should I put on my piece? This is a question that I do not have the answer to. It all depends on the occasion, the recipient, the purpose and most of all, you. I am always amazed at some of the unique, fun and creative things people come up with and I very often think, why didn't I think of that? For this reason, I have started a list below of not only some ideas of what to put on your personalized piece but also reasons and occasions to give a personalized piece.

My list is just the beginning and what I managed to think up in the last few minutes. I love collaborating and sharing ideas so I would love for you all to share your ideas for these or photos of what you have done. After all a good idea deserves to be shared. Lets keep this list going.
