Jewelry name necklaces go beyond basic pendants

Jewelry name necklaces make excellent Christmas gifts for anyone on your list, but they make an especially lovely gift for a girlfriend. After all, what woman doesn't love jewelry? And when the jewelry is personalized, even better-you've given her a thoughtful gift, as well as a beautiful one!

Personalized jewelry name necklaces run the gamut from colored metal charms to diamond-studded gold pendants. You can find jewelry name necklaces at every price point, from less than $30 to well over $1,000, but most fall in the $100-$300 range, making them fairly affordable. Obviously, the price of your necklace will depend on the materials used and the style you choose.

Many people who hear the term “name necklace” automatically think of the famous gold 'Carrie' pendant, which became a huge jewelry trend when it made an appearance around the neck of fashionista Carrie Bradshaw in the hit TV series 'Sex and the City'. While the classic gold pendant is still one of the most popular jewelry name necklaces available today, there are hundreds of styles to look through-so if you're looking for something a little more unique, don't worry, there is sure to be a style out there for you!

You can find horizontal or vertical pendants, single initials, shaped pendants with engraving, and all sorts of pendants with added charms. Many jewelry name necklaces can be personalized with birthstones, or may feature some other type of gemstone in the design. Gold and silver are equally popular picks for jewelry name necklaces, with gold being more traditional and silver generally preferred by people who prefer a sleek, modern feel for their jewelry.
