Crafting Your Custom Jewellery: A Step-by-Step Guide

2 min read

Here at Kadio, we will turn your unique designs into beautiful, crafted pieces of jewellery for you to treasure. Read below for tips and tricks to bring your design to life!


Step 1: Choose The Size

We currently have 4 different sizes of pendants to design on; 10mm, 15mm, 20mm and 25mm. Initials, dates, names and small icons are perfect for the 10mm pendant and images, quotes and more intricate designs work best on pendants 15mm or larger.


Step 2: Get Creative!

This is where the fun begins. Nothing is off limits when it comes to what we can engrave, so put your creative hat on and start designing! Here are some tips for each element to maximise your design:

  • Text: choose from our large range of fonts and incorporate text that holds special significance to you whether it be names, dates, initials or meaningful quotes.

  • Icon: enhance the personalisation of your custom necklace by incorporating our range of icons. Add intricate patterns, travel symbols or zodiac signs to add more character.

  • Image: we will convert all images into black and white to create an ultra HD design. We will take the outline of your image i.e. your pet, family members and fit it perfectly. For images with a person or animal, we suggest images that are high quality and taken in good lighting.

  • QR Code: add your website link or social media address for a fun way for people to connect


Step 3: Choose your Chain

We currently offer three styles of chain to match with your pendant; our classic chain, flake chain and ball chain. The chain is 40cm in length with a 5cm adjusting extension (total length 45cm). Should you need extra length, add a note in the checkout and we can include an additional extension for a customised fit.


Step 4: Review and Place Your Order

Now take a moment to review every detail. Ensure the text is accurate and free from spelling errors. Check the images and icons are clear, with no blurriness. Make sure that all elements fit perfectly within the pendant space.


That’s all! Once your order is placed, we will bring your custom design to life!
