Every skater’s journey is different — and that’s exactly what makes it so special. Whether they’ve just landed their first jump or completed a gruelling test, those quiet (and not-so-quiet) victories deserve to be marked. That’s where my personalised ice skating necklaces come in — each one handmade in silver or gold and each one as unique as the skater who wears it.

Over the years, this has become my most popular piece of jewellery. I think that’s because it isn’t just about the necklace — it’s about what it represents.

Gifts with Real Meaning

Most of these necklaces are bought as gifts. Often, they come from parents of skaters — proud mums and dads quietly watching from rink-side, wanting to show their support in a lasting, personal way. Others are gifts from partners who (lovingly) tolerate their other half’s icy obsession. And some are thoughtful presents skaters choose for themselves — a personal reminder of everything they’ve worked for.

What People Choose to Engrave

The engraving options are wide open — and believe me, I’ve seen everything. From the emotional to the cryptic, from the silly to the deeply symbolic. Every word or phrase matters, because it means something specific to the skater.

Here are just a few of the messages I’ve engraved:

• “proud of you always”
• “Never give up” (a firm favourite)
• “Have courage and be kind”
• “Born to skate”
• “the ICE is my HAPPY PLACE”
• “Elevation before rotation”
• “Gliding towards gold”
• “Hand in hand we glide”
• “A little bit naughty”
• Names, initials, jersey numbers, test levels (“SENIOR MIF”)
• Team engravings for entire synchronised skating teams
• Skater’s names in other languages, including Chinese and Arabic, to honour heritage
• Important dates — for competitions, milestones, or something more personal
• Skating boot icons, stars, snowflakes, hearts, or custom symbols

I’ve made necklaces to mark everything from a skater’s first Axel (or triple Axel — no mean feat) to quiet memorials that carry a more private meaning.

Personalised with Care

Every personalised piece of ice skating jewellery is carefully engraved to order — and I take that process seriously. Once you’ve chosen your words or symbols, I send the jewellery away to be precisely laser-engraved by a specialist. This ensures a clean, permanent finish that does justice to your message.

The engraving process usually takes around one week, so please bear that in mind if you’re ordering for a special date. I want every detail to be just right — because I know how much these words can mean.

Moments of Pride, Moments of Loss

Not every engraving celebrates a gold medal. Some honour perseverance, resilience, or even loss. I’ve made pieces to commemorate endings as well as beginnings — and that means a great deal to me. These pieces are often commissioned with incredible care and love. That’s why I always ask for permission before sharing any engraving publicly — especially if it may carry emotional significance. I never share a message before a birthday or special date has passed. Discretion and professionalism are incredibly important to me.

More Than a Necklace

What I love most is that each piece tells a story. Not mine — theirs. It might sit quietly around their neck at school or hang proudly on a competition day. Sometimes, it’s worn close to the heart as a reminder of what they’ve overcome.

A personalised skating necklace isn’t just jewellery. It’s a moment, a message and a memory — in precious metal.
