How Your Name Pendant Is Made
Nothing here is pre-made. Every pendant is cut, plated and engraved after you order it — and still leaves within two days.
-
1. Choose a design and a finish
69 designs — the Cuboid bar, the Butterfly, the Swan, a single Initial, a Zodiac sign, or a photo. Each comes in 22 carat gold plating or a silver steel finish, over the same 316L base.
-
2. Type the name
Any name, word or short phrase, in your choice of fonts — English on every design, Hindi on several. You preview the engraving before you pay, so nothing is left to chance.
-
3. Engraved, chained and dispatched in 24–48 hrs
We laser-etch the letters into the metal at our own workshop, thread the pendant onto its matching chain, and pack it gift-ready. Free shipping across India, Cash on Delivery available.
Engraving and the chain are both included in the price. There is nothing extra to add at checkout.
Gold or Silver: Choosing a Finish for Your Name Pendant
Both are built on the same surgical-grade steel and carry the same engraving. What differs is the tone, the starting price, and whether there is a plating to look after.

Name Pendants, Engraved to Order
A name pendant is the most personal thing you can wear and one of the few gifts that cannot be bought for anyone else. Every pendant in this collection is made after you order it: choose a design, type any name, and we laser-engrave it into surgical-grade 316L stainless steel. Because the lettering is cut into the metal rather than printed or stamped onto it, it does not fade, chip or wear away — it is still legible when the pendant is years old.
Prices start at ₹799, engraving included. There is no personalisation surcharge on anything on this page.
What Is a Name Necklace?
A pendant is the engraved charm; a necklace is that charm on its chain. The distinction matters when you are shopping, because a great many name pendants sold online arrive as a charm alone and need a chain bought separately. Every pendant here ships on a matching chain — gold plated with the gold designs, steel with the silver ones — so what you unbox is a finished, wearable name necklace rather than half of one.
Chains are adjustable, so there is no length to guess at when you are buying for someone else.
Name Pendant Designs
The designs fall into four broad families, and it is worth knowing them before you scroll.
Shape pendants put the name inside an outline: the Butterfly and Swan are the ones most often bought for daughters and younger wearers, while the Shape of Love, Leaf and Moon read quieter. Bar and geometric pendants — the Cuboid, the Orb, the Eternal — are the minimal end, and the ones that suit men as readily as women.
Single-letter designs are for anyone who would rather not wear a full name: the Initial Pendant carries one letter at ₹999. And meaning-led designs carry something other than a name — the Photo Pendant engraves a photograph you upload, the Zodiac Pendant a sun sign, the Nazar and Evil Eye pendants a protective symbol.
Name Necklaces for Women and Girls
Most of this collection is sized and weighted for women, and a good part of it is bought for girls. A first name necklace is a common gift at birthdays, Raksha Bandhan and Daughter's Day, and it works because a child's own name is the one thing on a jewellery counter that was never going to be there already.
If you are buying for a younger wearer, the lighter shape pendants are the safer choice — they sit flatter, catch less, and the adjustable chain grows with them. Our bracelets for women are engraved the same way if you would rather give a set.
Gold Name Pendants and Silver Name Pendants
The gold range is 22 carat gold plated over 316L steel, which is what makes a gold name pendant wearable daily at this price rather than kept in a locker. It carries a no-questions-asked 6-month anti-fade replacement warranty; keep perfume and chlorinated water off it and the colour holds well past that. If the plating ever does wear, stainless steel shows through — not a green base metal.
The silver-finish designs are polished steel with nothing plated over them, which means there is no coating that can ever wear through. They start at ₹799 and are the more sensible pick for a pendant that will simply never come off.

Name Pendants & Necklaces — FAQs
What is the difference between a name pendant and a name necklace?
A pendant is the engraved charm on its own; a necklace is the pendant together with its chain. Every name pendant here ships with a matching chain included, so you always receive a complete, ready-to-wear name necklace rather than a charm you then have to find a chain for.
Does the name pendant come with a chain?
Yes — every one, at no extra cost. Gold plated designs come on a matching gold plated chain, silver-finish designs on a steel chain. Chains are adjustable, so there is no length to choose, and nothing to add at checkout.
Can I get any name engraved on a pendant?
Yes. Enter any name, word or short phrase while ordering and pick a font — you see a preview before paying. Every design supports English lettering and several also support Hindi. Character limits vary by design because the engraving area does; the product page shows the limit for that piece as you type.
Which name pendant design should I choose?
If it is for a young girl, the Butterfly or Swan are the most-gifted. For minimal everyday wear, the Cuboid bar or the Orb. For someone who would rather not wear a full name, the Initial Pendant carries a single letter. And if you want it to hold something other than a name, the Photo, Zodiac and Nazar pendants do exactly that.
Will a gold name necklace fade with daily wear?
Ours are 22 carat gold plated over surgical-grade 316L steel, with a no-questions-asked 6-month anti-fade replacement warranty. Plating wears from friction and chemicals rather than time, so put it on after perfume and take it off before a swimming pool and it lasts well beyond the warranty.
Will a steel name pendant irritate skin or turn it green?
No. Green marks come from copper and nickel alloys reacting with sweat. Grade 316L stainless steel — the alloy used for surgical implants — contains neither in a reactive form, which makes it safe for daily wear, safe in the shower, and suitable for most people with metal sensitivities.
Is a name necklace a good gift for a girl?
It is one of the most-gifted pieces we make, for daughters, sisters and friends. The reason it works is simple: her own name is the one thing on a jewellery counter that could not already be in her drawer. Birthdays, Raksha Bandhan and Daughter's Day are the common occasions.
Do men wear name pendants too?
Yes — the bar and geometric designs in particular. The Cuboid, Orb and Eternal read as unisex, and many are bought by men who want a name or date on a chain rather than a shaped charm. Our men's jewellery range carries heavier chains if you want a thicker link.
How long does delivery take, and is COD available?
Engraved pendants are made to order and dispatched within 24 to 48 hours, with delivery typically 3 to 7 days after that depending on location. Cash on Delivery and free shipping are available across India.
