Gold engraving plate: Heritage

Description

The „Legacy“ gold plaque – a message that continues its story

A legacy is not always something of great material value. Sometimes it is a name, a date, a sentence or a symbol, behind which lies the history of a family.

The „Legacy“ gold engraving plaque was created around this idea — that a personal message should take on a lasting form and be worn today, so that one day it can be passed on.

The design does not follow the rigid outline of a standard rectangular tile. The ornamentation is reminiscent of the frame of an old document or a family crest, whilst the smooth central section remains blank for the content of your choice. Thus, the engraving is not merely an addition to the piece of jewellery, but its very essence.

Design and fine materials

The medallion is made from 14K gold, 585 fineness and can be ordered from:

• yellow gold;
• white gold.

The approximate dimensions are 22 × 13 mm, and the approximate weight is around 1.10 g. There may be a slight variation in the final weight, due to the fact that each item is made to order.

The elongated shape offers more space for engraving than small standard tiles. The central area is visually uncluttered, whilst the contoured side elements create a sense of a frame and highlight the content within it.

The decorative curves lend a subtle vintage feel, but the overall design remains clean and balanced. This means the medallion can be worn with both classic outfits and a more contemporary, minimalist style.

Personalisation built around your story

Text based on the customer’s ideas can be engraved onto the gold plaque. The larger vertical surface area allows for various layouts depending on the length and nature of the message.

Suitable options are:

• first name or surname;
• the initials of two people;
• date of birth, wedding or anniversary;
• a brief dedication;
• a word associated with family values;
• coordinates of a significant location;
• a small symbol or monogram;
• a combination of text and a graphic symbol;
• a composition based on a personal sketch.

The engraving can be austere and minimalist or more emotive, depending on the chosen typeface and layout. Before work begins, the text is reviewed to ensure it fits within the proportions of the tile.

If you have your own idea, you can send us text, a drawing or an image. We will confirm in advance whether it can be produced, and, if necessary, the design will be adapted so that it remains clear and harmonious on the gold surface.

Who is the „Legacy“ locket suitable for?“

This piece is designed for someone who is not simply looking for a beautiful piece of jewellery, but for an item with personal significance that transcends any specific occasion.

Suitable for:

• a gift from a parent to a child;
• celebration of coming of age;
• wedding anniversary;
• a wedding or the birth of a child;
• a gift between partners;
• a memory of a loved one;
• a personal motto or guiding principle;
• creating a future family heirloom.

The design is unisex and can be worn by both men and women. A more formal typeface, initials or a family crest lend a more assertive air, whilst a delicately inscribed name or a short dedication create a softer, more sentimental character.

„Legacy“ is a particularly fitting choice when the occasion is not simply to be marked, but to be preserved.

Precise craftsmanship and attention to important details

With a personalised medallion, the quality of the final result depends not only on the gold, but also on the way the message is arranged on it. That is why each project is considered on a case-by-case basis.

Particular attention is paid to:

• the proportions between the text and the white space;
• the clarity of the engraving;
• centring the composition;
• the smooth shaping of the decorative elements;
• polishing the visible surfaces;
• the secure attachment of the mount to the medallion.
