1. Custom Name Necklace – Classic and Chic
First up is the perennial people-pleaser, the Custom Name Necklace. Classic, sleek, and infinitely personal, it’s one of New Zealand’s most popular jewellery gifts of all time.
Your chosen name or word is beautifully handcrafted in stainless steel, finished in gold, rose gold, or silver plating. The necklace is polished and ready to gift, presented in a premium jewellery box.
It’s special because it’s simple — a single name or word can mean so much. You could wear your partner’s name, your child’s name, or a meaningful word that makes you feel strong and centred like Hope, Joy or Courage.
💡 Ideal for: birthdays, anniversaries, or self-gifting to celebrate YOU.
2. Two-Bead Personalised Necklace – The Bond Between Two
If you feel like words are insufficient, then let’s speak the language of symbols. The Two-Bead Personalised Necklace talks about two people, two hearts, one bond.
A name or a date of your choice on each bead, hanging on a delicate chain, modern and versatile. It is a minimalistic accessory with a big emotional resonance, made for couples, besties or siblings.
Pair it with another short chain to make a layered and very on-trend look, or wear it on its own for a more discreet appearance. It’s one of those personalisable necklaces from NZ that have won the shoppers’ hearts because of their meaning and wearability.
💡 Gift idea: “You & Me” or “Mum & Emma” , a small gesture and a lifetime of sentiment.
3. Personalised Photo Projection Cross Necklace – Faith and Love Combined
If you’re looking for something truly one-of-a-kind, the Personalised Photo Projection Cross Necklace marries faith, technology and craftsmanship in a stunning way.
At first glance, this piece looks like a sophisticated cross pendant – sleek, polished and simply timeless. But take a closer look at the pendant, and you’ll discover a hidden surprise: a miniature photo projection tucked inside that will display your chosen image when light shines through the centre (or when viewed through your phone camera).
You can also have a name or short message engraved on the surface of the pendant, turning it into a meaningful custom name necklace with spiritual significance.
💡 Ideal for: baptisms, confirmations or gifts of remembrance – especially if the person in your life is someone who values both love and faith.
This necklace is a beautiful reminder that even the most contemporary designs can still have centuries of emotional and spiritual connection behind them.
4. Heart Puzzle Necklace – Together, No Matter the Distance
Sometimes the perfect relationships fit together like puzzle pieces — even when you’re miles apart.
The Heart Puzzle Necklace comes with two or three puzzle pieces in the shape of a heart with a name engraved on each piece.
It’s the ideal gift for showing love to someone or for a shared friendship or family necklace.
Send it to your daughter studying abroad or your girlfriend in a different city, it’s a wonderful way to express “together in heart”.
💡 Why we love it: It’s more than jewellery — it’s a relationship you can wear.
5. Engraved Bar Necklace: Modern, Minimal, Meaningful
Simple and bold at the same time, this Engraved Bar Necklace is a great pick for the lovers of minimal jewelry with a purpose.
Made of well-cut and shiny metal, the piece can be engraved with initials, coordinates, or simple and powerful words and short phrases like Love, Faith, or Strength. The design also makes it a perfect option for everyday wear, office styling, or layering.
It’s also a great solution for corporate gifts or gifts for appreciation, when you want to stay on the formal and classy side, but not forget to make the present personal and unique as well.

6. Birthstone Necklace – Bring on the Colour and Soul
Birthstones are given to, and representative of a particular month, but they also have meaning, history and unique characteristics. Birthstone Personalised Necklace brings it all together. With the best of both worlds, you will find yourself presented with a piece that is as unique and special as your child.
Choose one of twelve beautifully faceted stones, representing their birth month and add the finishing touch with a name or initial engraved. Complete a bespoke gift set that is the perfect combination of meaning, protection and love, and one that literally sparkles!
💡 Best For: Birthdays, Mother’s Day or to celebrate the arrival of a newborn
Birthstone necklaces also make a special set piece for families – by matching each family member’s birth month stone with a complementary design.
