At Magpie Gems, we offer a variety of initial jewellery styles to suit your taste:

• Laser-Cut Initials – modern, precise name and letter designs cut from sterling silver.
  
• Engraved Initials – classic disc pendants where your chosen letter is engraved for a timeless look.
  
• Cutout Initials – delicate shapes where the letter itself forms the pendant for a minimalist, elegant style.
  

All are handcrafted in Ireland from ethically sourced sterling silver, with options for 24k gold or 18k rose-gold plating. This way, you can choose the finish that best reflects your personality or gifting occasion.

Every piece arrives in our signature Magpie Gems gift box with a polishing cloth and message card — perfect for gifting.

Each piece is handcrafted to order, so please allow for a short production (lead) time before your jewellery is dispatched. The exact lead time is shown on the product photos and usually ranges from a few days up to two weeks, depending on the design.

Once your order is ready, it will be shipped with the delivery service you select at checkout (An Post, DHL, etc.). The delivery time depends on your chosen service and destination — for example, standard post within Ireland is usually 1–2 business days, while international courier delivery may take 3–7 business days.

The total time from placing your order to receiving your jewellery is therefore:

Production time (lead time) + Delivery time (transit time).

You’ll receive a confirmation email once your order is dispatched, along with tracking details if applicable.
