    Learn More About Monogram & Name Necklaces

    A traditional monogram necklace features initials and comes in a variety of shapes, including hearts, pendants, medallions, and circles. A name necklace spells out a first name, last name, or full name in a specialized font. Name necklaces are often worn to signify a personal connection to yourself as a token of self-empowerment and self-love.

    Personalized name necklaces add shine and self-expression to your necklace collection. There are many ways to customize a name or monogram necklace to make it truly one-of-a-kind.


    While a classic monogram has three letters representing the first, middle, and last name, many custom monogram necklaces feature a single letter representing a person or pet. Monogram pendant necklaces are small tags engraved with your initials or those of a loved one. Add extra tags to your monogram charm necklace for each member of your family or each of your pets.

    Jewelry designers on Etsy create a variety of name and monogram necklace options, from minimalistic and delicate to bold and glittery. Monogram and name necklaces have been popular jewelry pieces for decades, adding a touch of shimmering personality and individualism to your ensemble. Represent your family lineage with a necklace bearing your last name, or keep your pet close with an initial necklace engraved with the first letter of their name.
