<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 11273628, member: 10944"]I saw a couple Christmas gift themed posts and was inspired. I’m thinking of purchasing a few sterling pendants and one gold pendant to have engraved to remember a family member that passed this year. I’ve purchased very little new jewelry in my life and a crap load of vintage and antique jewelry. So when I look at prices for new silver pendants I nearly sh|t myself. I’m used to buying silver jewelry for peanuts, not many multiples of its intrinsic value. I guess a heart form would probably be good, but not a cheesy heart. Another shape could work too. If the place I buy them from also engraves them that would be convenient. I could also bring them to a local place that did a watch for me a couple years ago. Having things hand engraved is crazy expensive and requires a lot of advance notice it turns out. I don’t love the machine engraving, but I’m cheap. For the single gold pendant I can probably find a vintage or antique example I like. For the silver pendants having them all matching would probably be ideal since they’d go to three sisters. That way no one could get upset if they got one they didn’t like as much as one that someone else got. I’ve never liked Pandora stuff but their pendants actually seem very modestly priced vs. other websites I saw. Wondering if anyone knows a good option for purchasing pendants that could be engraved? Ideally I could fit “in memory of A.B.C. 19..-2025” but just the initials and years could work too. Just looking for some reasonably priced options if anyone knows any off the top of their heads?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
