Name necklaces (or name plates as they are sometimes known) first became popular in the 80's among teenage highschool girls.  In recent years, the iconic Name Necklace has made a dramatic comeback with thanks to celebs such as Sarah Jessica Parker who plays Carrie in Sex and the City.

If wearing your own name around your neck (or wrist or ankle!) is not your thing, think outside the square... you could adorn yourself with the name of your partner, child or best friend.  Even the idea of wearing your family name is really taking off in popularity lately!

Love them or hate them, the Name Necklace is here to stay!
