Short answer: a name necklace is a pendant engraved with a name, a nickname or initials. At Loretana we laser-engrave names on 925 sterling silver coin and square pendants: up to 15 characters on each side, in 25 font styles, including Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian letters. You see a preview before you order, and we engrave it in Lithuania and ship it within 48 hours.
A name is the most personal thing you can put on a piece of jewellery. Here is what to engrave, which pendant to choose, and how the engraving works.
What to engrave on a name necklace
- One name: your own, a child's, a partner's or a pet's.
- Two names or initials: for a couple, or for siblings.
- A name on the front, a date on the back: a birth date, a wedding date, the day you met.
- A nickname only the two of you understand.
- A name with a symbol: a small heart, star or other symbol beside the text.

Which pendant to choose
- Engraved Coin Necklace, 925 silver, 79.99 EUR: our best-selling piece. A round coin, engraved on both sides. Also in 14K gold-plated silver.
- Engraved Square Necklace, 925 silver, 79.99 EUR: a larger flat surface that suits longer names. Also in 14K gold-plated silver.
- Prefer the wrist? The Engraved Curved Bar Bracelet, 57.99 EUR, takes a name of up to 15 characters on the bar.
Short names and initials look best on the coin; names of eight letters or more have more room on the square.
Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian letters
A name must be spelled correctly. Most of our 25 fonts include ą, č, ę, ė, į, š, ų, ū, ž, as well as ā, ē, ģ, ī, ķ, ļ, ņ and õ, ä, ö, ü. The preview shows your name exactly as it will be engraved, so you can check every letter before you order.
How it works
- Choose the pendant and type the name on the product page.
- Pick a font, add a symbol if you like, and check the preview.
- We engrave it by fiber laser on the silver in Lithuania and ship it within 48 hours.
The engraving is cut into the silver itself, so it does not wash or wear off with daily wear. Read How Laser Engraving Works on 925 Silver for the details.
