I recently shared on TikTok about how I love to buy personalized jewelry on Ali Express. I’ve been getting my personalized jewelry on there for 5 years now, and I’ve never had any issues. My very first piece from there is five years old, and it hasn’t turned green, and it doesn’t look crazy.
@flyfiercefab Replying to @lephant95 Ali express is the plug! But lemme tell y’all what you really need to be buying on there ? ?✨#blackgirltiktok #blackgirlluxury #aliexpressfinds #aliexpress #giftideas #personalizedgifts #personalizedjewelry ♬ ALIEN SUPERSTAR – Beyoncé
Not only have I bought personalized necklaces on there for myself, but I’ve bought some as gifts for friends and family too. I had a personalized rhinestone necklace made for my sister’s college graduation this year that says “Ashe”. I paid $10.50 for it in total.
How To Order Personalized Jewelry On Ali Express
When you purchase personalized necklaces on Ali Express, you provide the name or word and select the jewelry color, chain length, and font you want to be used.
I usually order all my jewelry on a 45cm chain
The vendors I’ve bought personalized jewelry from
There are a couple of vendors that I have bought my personalized jewelry from, that I can comfortably recommend based on my experiences.
Theresa Necklace
This is the first personalized necklace that I ordered on Ali Express. I bought it five years ago for $9.99. This one really impressed me, as it’s held up really well. It still looks new, and it hasn’t tarnished. I ordered more necklaces from them last year as gifts.
The vendor is SeenDom, and they are currently on vacation (according to Ali Express)
Oluseyi Necklace
Last year I had another personalized necklace made with my Nigerian name: Oluseyi. Which means: This is of God, or God has done this. I had it made in gold using an old English script font, on a 45cm chain. It’s currently on sale for $4.90, and I think I paid around $8 for it at the time (according to my receipt. I had bought two). It’s still in great condition.
Birthyear Necklace
I ordered this birthyear necklace on AliExpress 3 years ago for $2.83. It’s made using old English script numbers, and you can just select the year you want. It’s available in gold, platinum, or rose gold.
How to Find The Good Stuff
Chile, you gotta read them reviews. If you decide to try another vendor or style, make sure that you read the reviews and focus on the reviews that have pictures. That’s how I figure out who I can trust with my money on Ali Express.
How Long It Takes To Ship
Shipping can vary by vendor on Ali Express. If they’re shipping from the US, or if it’s something premade (like the birthyear necklace) that’s usually a bit faster (around a one-month turnaround time). The personalized ones using a name typically take longer (one to sometimes three months).
Each vendor provides a shipping estimate on the item before you order, and it’s usually correct (sometimes even a little faster). In the long run, I find it to be worth the wait because it’s a lot cheaper than buying them for like $60 or something elsewhere.
How I care for my necklaces
I want to mention that I take really good care of my jewelry. I’m definitely a lotion and perfume girl, but I make sure that I apply my perfumes in areas that won’t touch my necklace. I don’t shower in them either. I store them in my jewelry box in mini Ziploc bags so all my chains don’t get tangled.
