A personalised name necklace is the perfect way to express your identity. As it's entirely unique to you, a custom name necklace can be a key part of your personal identity and everyday look. Camile & Stone has many personalised name necklaces in stock. And we are sure to have styles to suit you. But how do you pick the best custom jewellery name necklace for yourself or a loved one?
Below is our guide to finding and buying the right personalised name necklace. Check it out.
So, what can you get when it comes to personalised necklaces? There's a few options.
First is a simple name necklace where the charm itself spells the name. Sometimes called a Carrie-style necklace because of the iconic style worn by Carrie in Sex and the City, this style is very versatile. You can get your name in lots of different fonts, and pick from metals like sterling silver and rose gold. We have this style in our 'Mama' necklaces range.
You can also find name necklaces with charms. This means that each charm is a letter that spells your name across the chain. This kind of custom necklace can usually be adapted to your name, though people with particularly long names might need to consider an alternative option!
Lastly, we have a whole range of personalised name necklace styles that are blank until engraved. You can have any name or nickname engraved onto these styles, and they include bar and pillar options. This is a great choice for people with longer names or those who want a few names on their necklace.
With all but the charm option mentioned above, you have some degree of control over the font and design of your necklace. At Camile & Stone, we include information on the designs you can have on each of our engraving options.
With nameplate charms (the Carrie styles!) you're slightly more restricted, as the charm is already created. However, as you can see in our 'Mama' necklaces, there are different font options, like this italicised style and this block style.
It is important that you shop around to find the best style. Name necklaces make thoughtful gifts but if you choose the wrong font or design, it might not work for your loved one! Remember, you can also find simple initial engraved necklaces too, and those might come with additional designs, like our medallion style with laurel wreath.
If you're planning on wearing your personalised name necklace every day, which most people do, you should also think about key aspects like the metal it's made of, the size of the charm, and the length of the chain.
For the metal, you can find silver and gold name necklace styles. If you wear mostly gold, choose a gold necklace, and if you wear mostly silver jewellery, choose a sterling silver name necklace. It's always best to stick to what you commonly wear. If you choose something different, like a rose gold style, you may decide you don't like it after only a few wears. If the name necklace is a gift, think about the colour the recipient wears most.
The charm size is also something to consider. A bigger charm might work if you only wear one necklace at a time, but if you're a fan of stacking necklaces, then opt for a smaller charm so it can be layered up.
Lastly, the length of the chain is important. The length will determine where the necklace sits on your neck. If you like chokers, then a shorter chain is better. You can measure yourself to work out where you want the necklace to sit before you buy it.
And an additional note to consider is the chain itself. Many name necklaces come with delicate chains, but you might want to change it up and opt for something different like a herringbone chain, a snake chain, or even a paperclip link style.
Incorporating your name necklaces into your daily wear is easy because there's lots of style options. We've already mentioned layering your necklaces, and this is a great way to incorporate them into your everyday look. It gives you the option to wear two or three of your favourite pieces each day, and it's very stylish.
You might also grab a necklace that matches your daily bracelet or earrings. If you wear diamond studs every day, consider an inlaid name charm necklace. This can pull together your jewellery for your everyday look.
Another way to incorporate it into your everyday look is to ensure your metal colours all match. If you're a silver jewellery lover, then make sure to buy a silver name necklace. You could pair it with some silver hoops too.
Remember that name necklaces are super versatile. You can wear them every day but they also work for special occasions and formal events.
Gifting a name necklace is the perfect way to give a personalised and thoughtful gift to a loved one. Our favourite occasions to gift them are for significant birthdays so that your loved one will remember them.
You might also choose to gift a name necklace when someone graduates from school or university. This is a significant milestone that you want them to remember and be proud of. A name necklace will remind them of it every time they wear it.
Name necklaces are timeless and come in so many different options that we think they're here to stay. We have a wide range of options so that you can find the perfect gift for yourself or a loved one. We also offer customization options so that you can make the necklace truly personal.
Name necklaces are a fantastic gift for yourself or a loved one. Remember that we offer gift wrapping at our check out too!
