We had a really busy year for bespoke jewellery in 2019, and some designs clearly stood out as popular gifts. Our roundup of the top 5 most requested personalised designs from our jewellery range from the past year may well inspire you for those special birthday, anniversary or wedding gifts, or a special present for a new mum to be on Mother's Day.
Number 5:
Bespoke gold charms. Our range of gorgeous silver charms are collectable, elegant and filled with perfect detail, but if you're a fan of gold instead, we can make 99% of our charms in solid gold on request. This year has been a busy one for casting our charms in gold, these are a few of our favourites!
A gold welly boot charm, complete with fine detail on the sole, and the trademade buckle at the top. This was cast in 18ct gold as opposed to 9ct, giving it a rich yellow tone and luxuriously heavy weight.
All the other gold charms in this collage, the bluebell, dragonfly and adorable mouse charm were all cast in more affordable 9ct gold. Each charm is bespoke made for you using a traditional loss wax casting technique, hallmarked, and hand cleaned up in our workshop. The process takes between 2-4 weeks depending on the time of year and complexity of the charm.
If you've seen one of our silver charms and would like a quote in gold, get in touch today by calling 01273 722110 or dropping us an email to info@scarlettjewellery.com with your idea and we'd love to make it happen!

Bespoke & Engraved Necklaces
We had a lot of requests this year for bespoke, unusual and hand crafted silver 7 gold pendants engraved with everything from initials, star signs, horoscopes, babies names, memorials for beloved pets that passed away, and messages for mum.
Engraving is our speciality, and we love taking your ideas and turning them into reality, be they in gold or silver.
The delicate gold initial pendants were a joy to make, each one bespoke engraved, hand cut and shaped to form simple wearable pendants. In solid gold they were surprisingly weighty and shipped all the way to Australia. The initials represent each of the recipients much loved cats.
The bow tie and initial pendant was made to commemorate Barry the Beagle who wore a bow tie every day, and was a gift from one best friend to another as a memorial for her beloved pet.
The other designs were variations on some of our collection of personalised necklaces but all with a personal twist. Adding a horoscope sign or family initials is a unique and fun idea.
Get in touch if you've got an idea for a unusual jewellery gift this year - we can help make something truly unique just for you.
Number 3:
Personalised Mojos.
Our eternally simple, beautifully made and unique Mojo charms engraved with the message you want are still one of the most popular ways people share their love and give a unique jewellery gift.
Each one is bespoke engraved deeply, in a simple script font that's easy to read and long lasting. With the bespoke printed meaning card, they really are an easy choice and always well received. Worn as pendants, on Pandora style bracelets or bangles, their versatility makes them popular with all kinds of jewellery fans.
Engraved with messages for a birthday, anniversary, a gift for Nanna, a new mum on the birth of her baby, or to commemorate the day you met, these solid silver, gold and rose gold charms are sure to be popular in 2020.
If you have an idea for a Mojo you'd like us to make for you, drop us a line.
Number 2:
Personalised Signet Rings.
Our range of signet rings has made them second most popular engraved piece for 2019, and with two simple, sturdy designs to choose from, and a range of things we can engrave, they really are unique and well received gifts, often but not always, for men to wear as pinky rings.
We have engraved initials, bicycle symbols, family initials in arrow symbols, and even the Christian trinity symbol.
Our in-house design service means we can turn your symbol ideas into reality, creating you a unique silver signet ring engraved the way you want it.
We're planning to invest in some new engraving technology in 2020, so the range will only increase - watch this space!
