At John Greed Jewellery, we believe the most meaningful keepsakes are the ones that capture the moments and people closest to your heart. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our brand new Silhouette Engraving - a beautiful and elegant way to preserve the unique profile of your child in a personalised piece of jewellery.

Perfect as a sentimental gift or a lasting memory for yourself, silhouette engravings are available on a range of our best-loved pieces. Whether it’s their first birthday, the first day of school, or just because - they grow up fast, and this is a stunning way to freeze time.

Here’s how to create your own silhouette engraved jewellery in just a few simple steps:

To begin, take a well-lit, side-on (profile) photo of your child. It’s best to photograph them against a plain background, with their head turned to the side so their full profile - forehead, nose, lips, and chin - is clearly visible.

Use natural lighting if possible to avoid shadows, and make sure the image is sharp and in focus. You can take the photo on your phone, just try to ensure there’s no blur and that the features are easy to distinguish. Don’t worry about cropping or editing; our design team will do the rest!

Please note: All uploaded images are handled securely and in full accordance with our Privacy Policy, ensuring your child’s photograph is used solely for the purpose of your personalised order and never shared or stored beyond production.

Step 2: Choose your jewellery

Once you’ve captured the perfect photo, it’s time to choose the item of jewellery you’d like to personalise. We offer a beautiful selection of engravable pieces, including:

Charms - Choose from either John Greed, THOMAS SABO or Nomination charms to add alongside your other meaningful charms.

Necklaces - From elegant disc necklaces to on-trend t-bar designs, we have a selection of necklaces that are ideal for showcasing a silhouette.

Bracelets - Whether you love layering bracelets for a stacked look or prefer something more simple, we offer several engraved bracelet styles to suit every wrist. We also have men’s bracelet options, perfect for dads and grandads.

Whether it's a gift for a parent, grandparent, or yourself, you'll find the perfect canvas for your engraving.

When you've selected your jewellery, simply upload your child's profile photo directly to the product page on our website using the 'Upload Image' section. For certain products, there’s also an option to include your child’s name, initials or date of birth alongside the silhouette for an extra personal touch.

Step 4: Sit back, relax & let us create your keepsake

Now, it’s over to us. Once your order is placed, our experienced engravers will carefully craft your chosen piece, transforming the photograph into a lasting, wearable memory.

Each item is finished with care, packaged beautifully, and delivered straight to your door - ready to wear, gift, or treasure for years to come.

We know how special these pieces are, and we aim to get them to you as quickly as possible, without compromising on quality or care. Once you’ve uploaded your photo and placed your order, your personalised silhouette jewellery will be carefully crafted within 1–2 working days.

In a hurry? Order before 3pm and choose Next Day Delivery at checkout to receive your item as soon as the following day, and don't worry - we'll keep you updated every step of the way.

Your child's silhouette is something you'll always hold in your heart. Now you can hold it in your hands too, thanks to this timeless engraving option. Check out our handy silhouette how-to-guide and SHOP ALL silhouette engraved jewellery, available only at John Greed.
