Engravable Jewelry Guide: How to Personalize Your Piece
Turn an initial, date, word, or available symbol into a personal detail with guidance for choosing, customizing, and reviewing your piece.
Make it personal
To personalize Kendra Scott jewelry, choose an engravable piece, select Customize where available, and add the text or design offered for that style. Review character limits, fit, materials, and the engraving preview before ordering. Options vary by design, and engraved pieces are final sale, with no returns or exchanges.
- Choose the jewelry style and fit before deciding on your engraving.
- Use the selected piece’s customization tool to confirm available options.
- Review every detail before ordering an engraved piece.
Choose the piece that fits your style
- Choose a necklace if you want your personal detail on a pendant; consider its dimensions and where the chain length will place it.
- Choose a bracelet if you prefer a personalized detail at your wrist; review fit, closure, and adjustability before ordering.
- Choose a charm if you want to personalize a compatible chain or bracelet; confirm the attachment details first.
- Choose a ring if you prefer a personal detail on your hand; verify size before personalizing.
What makes a piece engravable?
An engravable piece is designed with a designated area where personalization can be added. On the Aubree Pendant Necklace in Sterling Silver, the smooth pendant provides that surface , while the Engravable label and Customize option confirm that personalization is available. Engraving is complimentary on eligible Kendra Scott styles, meaning it can be added at no additional cost. Available text, symbols, zodiac signs, fonts, placement, and character limits vary by design, so review the customization tool before ordering. A smooth surface alone does not necessarily mean a piece can be engraved.
Choose an engraving with meaning
For people, consider initials, a name, or a monogram. For moments, try a birthday, anniversary, or graduation date. A city abbreviation can recall a place, while a short word can offer encouragement. A lucky number, available symbol, or zodiac sign may express identity. These are ideas, not promises that every message will fit; adapt your choice to the selected piece’s options and character limit.
For a gift, start with what the recipient enjoys wearing: their usual jewelry type and metal color. Confirm necklace length, bracelet fit, ring size, or charm compatibility. Choose a message they will recognize without a long explanation, whether you are celebrating a birthday, anniversary, graduation, wedding, new chapter, or a just-because moment. Review the preview carefully when ordering on someone else’s behalf.
How to personalize Kendra Scott jewelry

Select Customize. This option appears when personalization is available for the style.

Step three:
Add your personal detail using the text, symbols, zodiac signs, or fonts offered for the piece.

Step six:
Check the back!. Some pieces may also offer engraving on the reverse. If a back option appears in the customization tool, add or review that message separately and check its spelling, placement, and character limit. Turn the preview to view every available side before completing your order.

Online engraving, store services, and care
Eligible styles can be customized online. For in-store engraving, consult Kendra Scott’s official location page for the current participating-store list. Services vary by location, so confirm availability before visiting.
After personalization, care remains material-led. Engraving does not create one universal cleaning method: the piece’s metal, finish, stones, and other materials determine how to care for it. Follow the instructions for its most delicate component rather than assuming every engraved style needs the same treatment. Consult the Jewelry Care & Repair Policy for guidance relevant to your piece.
