Jewelry is often seen as something to purchase for life’s special moments, such as birthdays, graduations, weddings, and other milestones. But that doesn’t mean they’re limited to big occasions! Bijoux enthusiasts will attest to the fact that accessories are also simply personal, and there’s nothing quite like the feeling of adorning oneself with dainty trinkets to glam up an outfit or to feel put together.
However, whether you’re shopping for a loved one or for yourself, nothing beats getting customized jewelry–it just makes it even more meaningful! Plus, you can design it from scratch to truly put thought into every detail and add your own touch.
Below, we round up 10 local brands you can shop for customized pieces, from everyday accessories to fine jewelry:
1. Hello Amelie (@shophelloamelie)
Monogram necklaces will never go out of style, but if you’re looking for something fresh, try Hello Amelie’s ‘necklaces.’ They’ve got the Dovetail one that can fit up to four people, and the Famille necklace which has three different pendants you can personalize!

Looking for dainty designs? Wear Camila offers a range of on-hand jewelry, from necklaces to rings, but they’ve also got cute ‘fingerprint’ necklaces you can literally engrave with your fingerprint, or maybe even your handwritten name. One bar can even fit two fingerprints for you and a special someone!

3. Pulseras by Kim (@pulserasbykim)
Not sure if you should get a ring or a bracelet? Well, you can do both with Pulseras by Kim’s line of custom ring bracelets of which you can engrave with the word of your choice–it doesn’t always have to be your name, you know! Consider words that inspire you or hold special meanings for the special someone you're gifting it to.

For elevated pieces, head to Love, Susie, straight from the same founders of Pulseras by Kim. They’ve got engravable necklaces you can choose from but you can also hit them up if you’ve got an entirely custom design in mind. Plus, they mostly use reclaimed metals and stones!
