Personalized necklaces for Grandma

1. A heart engraved with her grandchildren's initials ($39)

The Heart Necklace with Initials is a 16 x 14 mm (0.63 x 0.55 in) 316L stainless steel heart engraved with one or two initials, in romantic cursive or timeless serif, on an 18-inch chain. Two initials suit two grandchildren. With more grandchildren, choose one heart per grandchild for Grandma to layer, or engrave her own initial.

2. A heart cutout necklace that says "Nana" ($39)

The Personalized Heart Cutout Necklace pairs an engraved heart with an open-heart outline. Engrave up to 12 characters, such as "Nana," "Grandma," "Mimi" or a grandchild's name. It hangs on an 18-inch chain with a 2-inch extender, so it adjusts from 18 to 20 inches.

3. A name bar with a heart cutout ($39)

The Personalized Name Bar Necklace engraves the name you choose in flowing script beside a small heart cutout, on a slim 1.26 x 0.20 inch bar. Use her name, "Grandma," or the family name.

All three are laser-engraved on 316L surgical-grade stainless steel in 18K gold PVD, 18K rose gold PVD or polished stainless steel, and you can check a live engraving preview before you order.

A birth flower for each grandchild ($39 each)

Choose the birth flower heart for each grandchild's birth month, such as the December narcissus heart. Each heart is pre-engraved with its month's flower, so there is nothing to type and no spelling to check. Grandma can wear one heart or layer several. Not sure which flower goes with which month? See our birth flower necklace guide.

Faith gifts for Grandma

4. A cross necklace engraved with a name ($39)

The Personalized Name Cross Necklace places a name beside a delicate cutout cross on a 1.26 x 0.20 inch bar, on an 18-inch chain. It is a gentle way to carry her faith and a family name together.

5. A cross with a little sparkle ($49)

The Divine Grace Cross Necklace is a white gold plated brass cross set with clear zirconia stones and a crescent moon accent, on an adjustable chain of about 20.7 to 22.8 inches. For more styles, browse our cross jewelry.

Classic pieces she can wear every day

6. Baroque cultured pearl studs ($52)

The Baroque Cultured Pearl Studs set an irregular cultured freshwater pearl in 18K gold plated brass, framed by four small colored stones. At 15 mm long, they are compact enough for every day.

7. A heart bangle to stack ($36)

The Linked Hearts Bangle is a structured bangle with a continuous row of open hearts, in 18K gold plated stainless steel. Its inner diameter is 60 mm, so compare it with a bangle she already wears.

8. A simple knot necklace ($32)

The Unity Knot Necklace has a small 21 mm knot in 18K gold plated stainless steel on an adjustable 16.5 to 18.5 inch chain. Knot jewelry is often chosen to represent family bonds.

What should you engrave on a grandma necklace?

  • "Nana," "Grandma," "Mimi," "GiGi" or the name her grandchildren call her
  • Her grandchildren's initials, one or two per heart
  • A grandchild's first name
  • Her own first name or the family name
  • A meaningful year, such as the year she became a grandmother

How do you choose the right gift for Grandma?

  1. Check the names twice. Personalized pieces are made to order and are final sale, so confirm spelling with family first.
  2. Match her metal. Look at the jewelry she already wears: warm gold tones, rose gold or polished silver-tone steel.
  3. Not sure about names? Choose a pre-engraved birth flower heart or a ready-to-wear piece. Eligible pre-engraved and ready-to-wear pieces can be returned within 14 days of delivery if unworn and in their original packaging; see our return policy.
  4. From the grandkids? Let them choose the flower or the initials, then add a handwritten card in their own words.

When should you order for Christmas?

Orders ship within 2 to 5 days, and shipping is free to the US and Canada. Personalized pieces are made to order, so earlier is better. Holiday arrival is not guaranteed; see our shipping policy.
