Jewelry with names is both a jewelry classic and one of the trendiest choices today. A large part of this modern upswing in popularity is due to the hip hop culture where large name jewelry items have become the defining fashion in bling. While much of the current fashion is large, bling-style pieces, name jewelry can range from delicate and subtle to big and bold. But name jewelry is also very popular as traditional mothers jewelry.
Name rings and name necklaces are by far the most popular items with online stores and retailers. The necklaces are not typically necklace and pendant sets, but rather the name is directly attached or part of the actual chain of the necklace. These solid looking and highly flashy necklaces can be long or short, with longer styles more commonly worn by men and short, closer to the neck lengths popular with women. Chains and names may be in silver or yellow gold, or even in more expensive metals such as palladium, platinum or white gold. Gems, particularly diamonds, rubies, sapphires and emeralds are also used on the chains and necklaces, some simulated or synthetic but also some using real gemstones.
The rings that are popular include two and three finger rings that are wide enough to easily display the whole name or a particular slogan or phrase. Fitting these two and three finger name rings is important as they have to be comfortable but also secure on the hand. Many people that are looking for these types of rings have them custom made and fitted, providing just the right match for their fashion taste. Rings, like the necklaces, can be in virtually any metal or combination plus they often have the diamonds and other precious and semi-precious stones.
In some cases the heavier hip hop style fashion looks terrific as a monogram or initial type of ring or necklace. These tend to be bulkier in style than traditional monogram rings and often include additional detailing around the initials. White metals such as silver, white gold, palladium and platinum tend to be most popular with yellow gold also in high demand. These rings appeal to both men and women with different styles. With men’s styles, you’ll see larger, more masculine styles.
