What’s In Name Jewelry?

You might have been one of the little tots on the playground back in the day, sporting the latest craze in sneakers. And around your wrist, you might have had a little glint whenever you moved your hand. Or even a flashing of gold or silver across your neck that you might have toyed with in curiosity. When you were a child, receiving a little piece of jewelry with your name on it was precious. As a child, you are still discovering everything about your name. The meaning behind it, the spelling, and the subtle curves of the letters when you wrote it on paper were still fascinating. To see your name embossed in gold or rhinestones was nothing short of a miracle. It was a proud moment to be able to actually wear your name in shining letters. Whether it was a necklace or name rings, as a child the gift was phenomenal.

And yet, some people lose that childlike wonder for his or her name as they grow older. A person can grow so accustomed to writing their name on essay after essay, or signing endless credit card bills, that the wonder and mystery of a person’s name is gone. Which is a shame, since a name is so precious. The meaning and origin behind a name can hold such power over the person you become, it seems disastrous to lose sight of your name’s importance. Name jewelry may seem like it’s targeted towards a younger crowd. But as an adult, it could be even more valuable. After years of evolving with your name, maybe taking nicknames or learning a different way to write it, a name becomes the most inseparable part of you. The self-worth of having you name on a necklace or ring can be beyond moving.

Not that such jewelry is rare in more adult settings. If you already have a special piece of jewelry, why not have your name engraved upon it? And the idea of a name on jewelry is also a great present idea. Jewelry gifts can be daunting to pick out when selections are so wide and varied. But getting someone you love a piece of jewelry with their name on it makes it all the more personal and thoughtful.

So whether or not you were one of the kids sporting jewelry with your name on it as a kid, look to the present. It’s never too late to embrace your inner love for your name.
