Behind the Design — Engravable Charms by Brave Daughters

At Brave Daughters, every detail tells a story.
Our newest addition — engraveable 14k gold charms — was created to help you make your forever jewelry even more personal.

We sat down with founder and jewelry designer Erin Myles to explore the inspiration behind these new customizable pieces and what makes them such a meaningful addition to our collection.

Why We Introduced Engravable Charms

“We wanted to take the personalization aspect of our offering one step further,” says Erin. “Engravable charms felt like the next natural progression.”

Engraving allows you to infuse your jewelry with deeper meaning — a word, a date, a name, or even a sketch that holds personal significance. It’s an evolution of the Brave Daughters experience: jewelry designed not just to wear, but to remember.

How Personal Can You Make It?

Our engraveable collection includes three timeless shapes:

• The bar for longer phrases or coordinates

• The disc for initials and zodiac signs

• The heart for motifs or short words

You can choose from three fonts and a range of icons — or go fully custom with photos, handwritten text, or hand-drawn art.

✨ Custom designs can even be ready for next-day delivery.

Staying True to the Brave Daughters Aesthetic

Erin explains, “We knew our engravable charms had to feel like Brave Daughters — dainty, elegant, and timeless. Our laser engraver is incredibly precise, so we can keep our delicate aesthetic while still offering full customization.”

Each piece layers beautifully with your permanent jewelry and blends seamlessly into your existing stack — soft, subtle, and deeply personal.

Ideas for What to Engrave

If you’re unsure where to start, Erin recommends choosing something that makes you smile.

Popular engraving ideas include:

• Pet names or nicknames 🐾

• Dates or coordinates of special moments

• Zodiac symbols or astrological motifs

• Initials of loved ones

• Short affirmations or meaningful phrases

“I have my dog’s nickname engraved on mine,” says Erin. “It’s my favorite detail.”

Caring for Your Engraved Charms

To keep your engraved charm looking bright and beautiful:

• Gently polish with a soft cloth to remove oils or fingerprints.

• Avoid harsh cleaning agents.

• Treat it with the same love and care as your other 14k gold Forever Jewelry.

With a little attention, your engraving will remain crisp and clear for years to come.

Why We Chose the Bar, Disc, and Heart

“These shapes are classics for a reason,” Erin shares.
“They’re versatile, layer beautifully, and align with our existing charm collection.”

Each design was chosen to fit different engraving needs — from longer messages on the bar to smaller symbols on the heart and disc. Every charm is thoughtfully sized and shaped for balance, beauty, and personalization.

What’s Next for the Collection?

“We’ll always listen to our clients,” says Erin. “What you love, what you want more of — that’s what drives our next steps. So if there’s something you’d love to see engraved, tell us!”
