subject: 5 Best Ways To Personalize Silver Jewelry [print this page] Silver jewelry is pretty to look at and lovely when coordinated with your wardrobe, but there are ways to get more out of it and add value beyond what the price guides and experts say. Personalizing goes a long way in creating special memories for a person that can mean a lot more for the pieces down the road than just "a lovely accessory." While you always want to look nice when you go out, a little thought and good intentions add value that only the human heart can measure. If you're looking for the best way to personalize your silver jewelry, or if you're thinking about giving it as a gift and you want it to really resonate with the recipient, make sure you take advantage of one of the following options: Birthstones or gemstones: Adding these to the piece creates a personal yet not so obvious link that will allow the jewelry to cross lines from formal to informal wear. Whether or not you are the recipient, you can choose the stone that best represents the recipient, or even mix and match with a stone that will represent people important in their lives. That could mean children, deceased loved ones, or even best friends. Alphabet soup: You ever get frustrated because you want an affordable customized piece of jewelry that can be worn in casual settings, but nothing that comes fresh off the assembly line ever matches you in a way that is unique enough to put on display? Finding the right online Jewelry Store will allow you to forgo the lack of creativity found on the assembly line and give you the choice to choose your own way to customization. Often, this means choosing a name from a group of letters and incorporating them into the final piece. That way you never have to worry about atypical spellings or anything of the sort. A favorite color combination: Say you've got a sports nut in the family. It may or may not be easy to choose a pattern and color scheme to trick out your jewelry. If you run into a roadblock, you can at least choose a color scheme that works for you or your loved one. Some places online can even go that extra mile to make sure the silver is ready by the start of the next sports season. Special messages: If there are any short words to live by, inscribing them on the piece may bring with it a little extra cost, but it will mean that much more to the individual recipient. Pictures: Some pieces, such as lockets, lend themselves to extreme personalization. Use a scaled down picture, and you have an instant keepsake to preserve memories.
