Our Story – Where Laalie Began

This is our story — how Laalie grew from a personal search for meaning into a personalised jewellery business helping others hold onto life’s most precious moments. We believe memories shouldn’t fade. They should live on in something beautiful, lasting, and deeply personal.

With over 20 years of experience in the personalised gift industry, we searched long and hard for a way to capture memories that felt truly right. There were many thoughtful and well-made products out there, but none had the unique emotional connection we were looking for. That’s when we realised we had to create it ourselves. Laalie was born, and we’ve never looked back.

From our workshop in Northallerton, North Yorkshire, we create personalised jewellery engraved with real fingerprints, handprints, footprints, or photo portraits. Whether you’re choosing a piece from our fingerprint jewellery collection, or shopping for a memorial gift, every order is handled with care and attention to detail.

And the name? That comes from our daughters, Charlotte and Lizzie. When Lizzie was small, she couldn’t pronounce Charlotte — instead, she called her “Laalie.” It stuck, and it still makes us smile. That name, and our story, are part of everything we do — and now we hope to help you tell your story too.
