Sterling Silver Custom Engraved Name Bracelet / Anklet

Did you know that the Arabic alphabet is different from the Latin alphabet? When you write a name on a bracelet with this alphabet, it is like writing code - the signs are stylised in a way which looks beautiful when engraved. An Arabic name engraved onto a piece of jewellery looks exquisite, and to learn more about this interesting form of writing, here are some facts about an Arabic name bracelet. It is important to note that in Arabic, you read letters from right to left, unlike English in which it is left to right. Incorrect direction when adding the name to a chain could lead to it being written backwards. Arabic is descended from Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, with it having evolved from (among others) Aramaic, Syrian and Nabatean which dates back two thousand years! Vowels also have different rules when written in Arabic - short vowels are not written, and so the reader must identify the missing vowel to get the correct interpretation of the word. Finally, Arabic, is a handwritten language, so the form and position of the characters are important when writing. The links between the words are meaningful, and incorrect form or position of the characters can change the meaning of the whole word. So, when choosing a design for your Arabic name bracelet, it is important to check that the spelling and form are correct before it is printed.
