Best Selling Necklaces

Our best selling necklaces are the pieces NZ shoppers order most: engraved birthstone pendants, heart photo lockets and an interlocking Russian ring pendant, most built on 925 sterling silver. Each one is personalised to order with names, dates or up to five birthstones, making them favourite gifts for mums, partners and milestone birthdays.

Why These Necklaces Outsell Everything Else

Every design in this edit earned its place through repeat orders rather than guesswork. The pattern is consistent: necklaces that hold a person — a name, a birthstone, a photograph — become the gifts people remember. The Russian ring necklace interlocks separate circles engraved with family names; the open heart pendant pairs custom names with birthstones; the angel wings locket keeps a photo tucked behind polished sterling silver.

Birthstone, Photo or Engraving: Picking Your Personalisation

Decide what the necklace should carry before comparing individual designs.

  • Birthstones work best when the gift represents children or grandchildren — one stone per person. The full personalised birthstone necklaces range shows every layout available.
  • Photo lockets suit someone who wants an actual picture close, not just a symbol. Compare hinged heart and wing styles among our photo locket necklaces.
  • Engraved names and dates are the most flexible option, fitting anniversaries, new babies and remembrance pieces equally well.

How Each Piece Is Made

Most here use 925 sterling silver and are personalised to order — the engraving and stone setting happen for your specific order, not in advance. Allow up to 4-7 working days to make plus 7-12 working days for delivery, and double-check spelling and birthstone months before confirming, because engraved pieces are made just for you and cannot be restocked. Orders over $179 ship free within New Zealand.

Who Shoppers Buy Them For

Mums lead the order notes: the engraved name heart with two to five birthstones and the open heart mother's necklace are perennial Mother's Day and birthday picks. Partners favour the two hearts birthstone pendant for anniversaries, while grandmothers often receive the Russian ring necklace, one circle per grandchild. Across birthstone necklaces, one stone usually means the wearer's own month, several mean children or grandchildren.

Keeping Sterling Silver at Its Best

Sterling silver is tarnish-resistant with regular wear — skin contact actually slows dulling. Between wears, store your necklace in a dry pouch away from other chains, fasten the clasp to prevent knots, and wipe it with a soft cloth after perfume or hairspray. Remove it before swimming, as chlorine accelerates discolouration on plated finishes.
