  Bracelets are a traditional piece of jewelry that are easy to engrave. Men's bracelets often feature a thick, engravable face and a leather band and can be engraved on the front or back. A universal bracelet for men, women and children is the cuff bracelet. Stylish and trendy for everyday wear, this bracelet easily wraps around the wrist and has a large enough band to engrave a name, date or even medical information on the inside. Women's bracelets range from bangles to thick, clasp-type bracelets and are often engraved with a message from a loved one, children's names or someone's initials.

  Being front and center on the body, a necklace falls in the perfect spot for people to see. Women enjoy a locket, for example, engraved with an enduring message on the outside while holding a picture of a loved one on the inside. Another popular necklace choice is the engraved dog tag. Although dog tags were originally used in the military, today men and women alike consider them a fashion accessory. These circular or rectangular tags make the perfect engraved option because they are flat and can easily be seen and read.

  Charms dangle from bracelets, necklaces or anklets. These small pieces of jewelry represent something special to the person and come in a variety of shapes, sizes and subjects. For the person graduating from college, an appropriate charm is a diploma or graduation cap featuring the graduate's name, the date of commencement and the school. When a new baby arrives, a mother or grandmother might receive a classic boy or girl head charm engraved with the child's name and date of birth. Best friend charms are popular with children and feature shapes ranging from hearts to puzzle pieces, which are engraved and then split down the middle for each person to wear.

  Engraved watches are popular with men, women and children and are often heirlooms that are handed down from generations. A man wears his grandfather's watch, for example, engraved with his name on the back. What is engraved is of particular meaning, even though it was not originally engraved for the person wearing it today. When a child celebrates a religious rite of passage, such as First Holy Communion, a watch is often given with the child's name and with an engraved religious symbol. A popular choice for a boy is a pocket watch large enough to feature his name, the event and a meaningful religious saying or passage.
