How to immortalise your 2025 memories with our personalised jewellery

The year 2025 has come to a close, leaving behind moments that marked our lives.

Whether it was a life-changing encounter, the birth of a child, a challenge overcome, or simply the little everyday joys that bring happiness, these moments deserve more than to be “stored” in a crowded smartphone memory.

In 2026, the trend is memory jewelry. Wearing a piece that carries meaning is a way to keep the positive energy of the past year close to you.

At Merci Maman, we believe every engraving tells a unique story: yours.

Below, discover our best ideas for capturing the most significant moments from last year.

Why choose jewelry to engrave your 2025 memories?

Unlike clothing or tech gadgets, jewelry withstands the test of time without losing any of its value. It is a lasting symbol. By choosing memory engravings, you transform a beautiful object into a true emotional anchor.

What makes a piece truly special in 2026 is the human touch. Our artisans engrave each piece by hand in our Parisian workshop.

Why is this important? The artisan’s hand brings a nuance that machines cannot replicate. Each curve of a letter, each subtle variation in pressure on the metal, reflects the care put into your order. This human dimension makes your memory jewelry vibrant and authentic.

Our ideas for immortalizing your memories from the past year

1. Transform major milestones into meaningful symbols

2025 may have been a year of big changes, such as a wedding, a new professional start, or the arrival of a baby. For these defining milestones, you need jewelry that constantly reminds you of that unforgettable moment.

The Personalised Unity Name Necklace perfectly illustrates this idea, allowing you to engrave a name or a meaningful word on a timeless piece. Its circular design represents unity and continuity.

You can also engrave a specific birth date or a word like “Resilience” or “Victory” to celebrate what you accomplished last year.

2. Celebrate the bonds that were created or strengthened

Some years are defined by connections. In 2025, you may have built a new friendship, deepened a love story, or strengthened family ties that mean everything to you today. These relationships deserve to be honored in a tangible, lasting way.

A personalised engraved jewel becomes a symbol of those shared moments - a reminder of support, love, and togetherness. Initials, intertwined names, or a meaningful date can capture the essence of a bond without saying too much.

For this type of memory, delicate necklaces or bracelets with multiple charms are ideal. Each engraving represents a person, a promise, or a shared journey. You can also choose to engrave a discreet message such as “Always together”, “Side by side”, or simply two initials linked by an infinity symbol.

Worn close to the skin, this jewel becomes a quiet celebration of the people who made your 2025 unforgettable.

If 2025 brought you closer to your mom, your best friend, or your partner, the jewelry becomes a witness to that connection.

We often look for a keepsake piece that symbolizes this bond without being too overwhelming.

The Personalised Love Links Bracelet is perfect for representing these precious relationships. With its intertwined rings, it beautifully illustrates two paths crossing.

For example, you could engrave two initials linked by an "&" or a geographic coordinate of a place where you shared a magical moment in 2025.

3. Give a voice to your secret emotions

Sometimes, the most meaningful memory of the year isn’t a public event, but an inner feeling, a realization, or a promise made to yourself.

The Personalised Hammered Open Bangle is ideal for those who appreciate discretion. Its textured finish captures the light, while the engraving can be placed on the inside, against your skin. This becomes your private little 2025 garden, a memory only you know. It transforms into a personal good luck charm.

4. Immortalize the little details that matter

You don’t need a grand achievement to deserve a personalised piece of jewelry. The warmth of a Sunday morning, a shared burst of laughter, or a small personal victory are all reasons to treat yourself.

The Personalised Mini Crystal Alphabet Necklace allows you to capture these little moments with elegance. It’s the ultimate “signature” piece.

Wear it with the initial of someone who brightened your year. The small crystal adds a touch of sparkle, evoking the sunny days of summer 2025.

5. Engrave a longer message to never forget

Do you have a quote that guided you throughout last year? Or a phrase your child kept repeating? Don’t let it fade away.

The Personalised Crystal Solitaire Message Necklace offers a generous engraving space for this. It’s the perfect medium for a short phrase or a promise. Wearing this message in 2026 ensures that the lessons from the past year stay engraved and accompany you every day.
