Pretty Politics

Les Trois Enfants Engraved Jewellery

‘Mummy’. ‘Daddy’. ‘Charlie’. ‘Lola’.

The first word is always precious, so cherish it for always on an engraved pendant from Les Trois Enfants.

With its charming new range of goodwill bracelets, the online boutique hopes to spread harmony to youngsters everywhere (there’s also a duplicate range for sentimental grown-ups).

Founder Evey Kurlander will inscribe any name, date of birth or heartfelt message onto her range of sterling silver and gold-plated discs and hearts. Engraving is included in the fixed price, and the durable waxed cotton bands give the message some grit, so little men can wear them, too.

Word up.
