For sure. We can take your vision and recreate it by our jeweler's sketch or in our CAD software (computer aided design), so you can see exactly how your pendant would look like before it’s made. With this software, we also have the ability to make minute changes to the details so the piece perfectly matches your vision. We understand that nameplates are deeply personal, and our goal is to create a nameplate that matches your vision perfectly so that it’s cherished and enjoyed for years to come.

It’s entirely up to you on what chain you’d like to match your name pendant with, but some things to keep in mind are your body size, your lifestyle, and your personal tastes.

We carry a wide variety of chains - cuban, mariner, box, etc. - in a wide variety of sizes, from 16” all the way up to 26”.

The trick in choosing the right chain is matching it with the style of the nameplate, and also having it in a size that’s comfortable for you to wear. Furthermore, consider your lifestyle - are you going to wear your chain exercising? Are you careful with your jewelry?

These questions are important considerations since some chains lend themselves to certain situations better than others. In any case, our team is here to help you find the perfect chain for your nameplate.
