Name Necklace & Name Necklaces with chains
Ever since the name necklace made its debut the television series Sex in the City - as worn by the main character Carrie - its popularity has continued to rise. Sarah Jessica Parker's character wore a solid silver name pendant on a simple silver necklace - giving the name Carrie style name necklace to this iconic piece of jewellery that everyone easily recognises.
Cheryl Cole recently wore a gold name necklace when judging on last year’s X Factor and this year's X Factor star Ella was seen wearing a script style name necklace recently, and another made a starring role in two popular soaps, Emmerdale and Eastenders.
Other celebrities who own a name necklace include Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Gwen Stefani, Siena Miller and Christina Aguilera. They have all been snapped the wearing name necklaces and name pendants. Even Paris Hilton has a name necklace and the legendary Madonna has one bearing just the letter "M".
Just why is this simple yet elegant jewellery piece so popular?
In a 100-mile per hour world, hearing your name brings a sense of belonging. That is why a name necklace gift, such as a Christening - where a birthyear necklace is perfect, or even for Mother's Day, brings a sense of intimacy. Better still, over the years the name necklace will remain a sentimental feature in anyone's jewellery box.
Some come with a small flourish like a star, butterfly or a heart (see below) conveying a sense of love or appreciation.
Name necklaces are often given to bridesmaids as a thank you for helping make the wedding day special. Some people even choose a word that holds special meaning for them and their partner. The ways of giving a name necklace are limited to the imagination.
Nothing is more unique or individual as a name necklace, and whether in gold or silver or platinum plated, the sentiments and its longevity is priceless.
