Selecting jewelry for the extraordinary women in your life can require some extra thought and patience as you search for the ideal jewelry gift. Whether you’re shopping for your mother, daughter, or significant other, the piece you add to her collection is more meaningful when it comes from the heart.
Birthdays, anniversaries, and graduations are all wonderful moments to commemorate with the gift of a personalized necklace. The sentiment that comes with gifting a diamond initial necklace or custom name necklace creates a unique keepsake she will always cherish.
Custom Jewelry Trends Throughout History
The use of name necklaces and other personalized jewelry pieces has held significance throughout many cultures over time. For example, during the Victorian era, many Europeans wore name pins and brooches. The personalized pieces were a gifting tradition amongst working-class families given as tokens of affection. Gifting name pins also became popular with the inscription “mother” rather than using a mom’s first name.
Around the same period, wearing pendants inscribed with "Mizpah" became a Jewish tradition. The personalized necklace signified the wearer had been separated from loved ones.
The significance of the name necklace carried on through World War II. Stories could be heard of women along the east coast wearing name necklaces to display the name of a loved one they lost in the war.
The Significance Behind Personalized Necklaces
Even today, personalized jewelry is much more than a fashion trend. A personalized necklace can be a symbol that offers a glimpse into one’s identity or family history. If you ask, a wearer will often share the jewelry's memorable story of how it came to be placed upon their neck. For some, the name necklace marks a significant life moment, like coming of age or becoming a parent. For others, they are worn in remembrance of a family member.
