Short answer: at Loretana an engraved pendant necklace costs €79.99, and the engraving is included in that price. You get a 925 sterling silver or 14K gold-plated 925 silver pendant on a 45 cm chain, engraving on both sides or one photo, a gift box, and free delivery to Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.
What is included in the €79.99
- The pendant and the chain: hallmarked 925 sterling silver on a 45 cm chain with a 5 cm extender. Choose rhodium-finished silver or 14K gold-plated 925 silver; both cost the same.
- The engraving: text of up to 15 characters and a small symbol on each side, or one photo. There are 25 font styles, and most include Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian letters.
- A preview: you see your text on the pendant before you pay.
- The gift box: every piece arrives in a Loretana gift box at no extra cost.
- Delivery: free to Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, because the order is over €50. We engrave and dispatch within 48 hours.
- Cover: a 24-month warranty against manufacturing defects, and our engraving guarantee: if your engraving differs from the preview you approved, we re-engrave or replace the piece free.

Does engraving both sides or a photo cost more?
No. The price is the same whether you engrave one side, both sides or a photo. There is no charge per letter and no extra fee for the symbol. Our photo necklace guide explains which photos engrave best.
Silver or gold-plated: what is the difference?
Both finishes cost €79.99, and both are 925 sterling silver underneath. The silver pendant is finished with rhodium, which keeps it bright and slows tarnish. The gold version is plated with 14K gold. Any plating wears gradually with daily wear, usually over 2–5 years, and the 925 silver underneath stays.
What makes an engraved pendant cheaper or more expensive
When you compare prices, compare what is actually included:
- The metal: 925 sterling silver costs more than stainless steel or brass, and solid gold costs far more than gold-plated silver. Look for a hallmark.
- How it is engraved: a fibre laser marks the metal itself, while printed text can wear off. Our article on how laser engraving works on 925 silver shows the difference.
- How much you can engrave: one side or both, text only or a photo.
- Whether the chain is included: some shops price the pendant alone.
- Delivery and packaging: check the delivery price to your country and whether a gift box is included.
Delivery times
- Lithuania: 1–3 business days after dispatch.
- Latvia: 2–3 business days after dispatch.
- Estonia: 2–4 business days after dispatch.
Delivery is by Omniva to a parcel machine, and it is free on every engraved necklace.
