Trend: The Name Necklace

Were you around in the 80's?!?  If you said YES, then I'm sure you remember the popular personalized name necklaces that just about every teenage girl wore. And, they were so pricey!!

I was waaaaay too young & NOT cool enough to wear these - but all the older girls at my school definitely had them.  I knew one day I'd own one, but had no idea it would be in 2013. 

Just to give you a little history, these name necklaces have been spotted on popular celebrities from Rhianna to Madonna. But the most iconic name necklace gal has to be Sarah Jessica Parker wearing her 'Carrie' necklace on Sex & the City! She revived the trend & made it popular - so once again, EVERY girl has to have one with her name on it!  Not only can you buy one with your name, but you can gift one to your best friend, or wear one with your daughter's name & so on! Get creative.

You can now buy these wanna-be Carrie Bradshaw necklaces made of 18k GOLD plated over Sterling silver at MADE BY GIRL.

My Jewels Wishlist

I'm a ring, bracelet & necklace kinda gal. 

For whatever reason I'm not that into earrings. My husband always found that to be odd, since so many women wear earrings. Anyone else earring-less like me?? 

So, because I don't DO earrings I end up filling my jewelry drawer with necklaces, rings & bracelets. Lately my wishlist includes any of these below. Dying to get this Gold Shark necklace from ShopKei and of course the Acorn ring by Julie Vos. 

Are any of these your style?? Which of these could you see yourself wearing??

Kelly Wearstler necklace / Pamela Love ring / Shopkei necklace / Losselliani ring / Campbell knuckle ring / Coletta necklace / Kelly Wearstler ring / Shopbop necklace / Julie Vos Acorn Ring / Julie Vos Soho Stack ring
