A small oval gold plaque

Description

A small oval gold plaque – a personal symbol in a minimalist design

Luxury is not always expressed through intricate ornamentation. Sometimes, a clean design, precise craftsmanship and a detail that holds meaning only for the person wearing it are enough.

This small oval gold plaque was created with precisely this idea in mind. Its surface does not impose any pre-determined symbolism, but leaves room for your own. A name, a date, a short word or a symbol transforms this simple medallion into a personal piece of jewellery that cannot be separated from the story behind it.

This is a design for people who prefer subtle messages to ostentatious forms — a presence that is noticed not for its size, but for its meaning.

Design and materials

The medallion is made from 14K gold, 585 fineness and is available in:

• yellow gold;
• white gold.

The dimensions of the tile are 17 × 13 mm, and the approximate weight is between 0.85 and 0.90 g. Minor variations, typical of bespoke jewellery, may occur.

The gently rounded silhouette gives it a more delicate appearance than that of a classic rectangular tile. The subtle border outlines the central panel and creates a sense of completeness, without detracting from the engraving to be added.

Its compact proportions mean the medallion can be worn on its own on a delicate chain or combined with other small pendants. The design remains well-balanced in both women’s and men’s styles.

Customization options

The central area can be personalised with text or a graphic element, depending on the space available. Suitable ideas for engraving include:

• one’s own name or the name of a close relative;
• initials;
• date of birth or anniversary;
• a short word with personal significance;
• lowercase letter;
• coordinates;
• zodiac sign;
• A minimalist composition based on the client’s idea.

At this size, short and carefully chosen messages look most striking. A single date, two letters or a small symbol can say enough without overwhelming the jewellery’s design.

Before production, the content is reviewed to ensure it fits the tile’s format. Where necessary, the font, size and layout are adjusted so that the final result is legible and proportionate.

If you have a more specific idea, you can send us a sample, a sketch or an image. We will confirm in advance whether the design can be produced, depending on its complexity and the area to be engraved.

Who is the small gold bar suitable for?

This locket is ideal for someone who is looking for a piece of jewellery with personal significance, but prefers it to be subtle and understated.

It can be selected as:

• a personalised piece of jewellery featuring a name, date or symbol;
• a gift between partners;
• a memento of a birth, christening or coming of age;
• a symbol of a family relationship;
• anniversary present;
• a discreet medallion for men;
• a minimalist pendant for women;
• a piece of jewellery to wear every day.

The neutral design allows the character of the medallion to be defined by the engraving itself. With simple initials, it can appear more austere and masculine, whilst with a delicate name or a small symbol, it can appear more tender and emotional.

Thus, the same design can convey a completely different message depending on the person for whom it was created.

Quality and fine craftsmanship

With small pieces of jewellery, every line counts. Given the compact size of the plate, particular attention is paid to the smoothness of the surface, the symmetry of the shape and the positioning of the engraved element.

The medallion is crafted from solid 14-carat gold, and the final weight may vary slightly within the specified range. The engraving is customised for each piece, rather than being applied using the same template for every order.

Before dispatch, you will receive real photos or a video of the finished piece of jewellery. The item comes with a certificate and is presented in Ringfinity-branded packaging.
