Nameplate necklaces have been a massive trend within the jewelry industry. They can come in all types of different styles, metals, and can feature full names, nicknames, or the names of loved ones on it. One of the most popular and meaningful gifts has been the mother’s name necklace. This is a beautiful, thoughtful piece of jewelry that has become the ideal gift for all the mothers in our lives.
But what exactly is it, and why is it so special? Also, how can we find the perfect style to gift to them? We hope to give you the answers to your questions, and even help you with picking out the ideal, personalized gift for your mom!
WHAT IS A mothers name NECKLACE?
We have all seen nameplate necklaces before. They are usually a simple shape on a thin chain, with a name engraved in them. Sometimes they come in different shapes and sizes, and you can find them in all types of colors. While those are rather trendy, a Mother’s name necklace has a bit more sentimentality than your normal nameplate.
A mother's necklace not only includes her name engraved on the metal, but also the names of her loved ones, often her husband and children. It's a beautiful and tangible way for them always to keep family close to their heart even when everyone may be far away from her. Another reason why these particular necklaces are so popular is because of the multiple styles and customizations you can do with them. From the names engraved to the metal used to the shapes of the nameplates, there are plenty of ways to make this necklace individually unique.
WHO TO GIFT A mothers name necklace TO
Who should you gift this to? Honestly, you can give this to any important woman in your life, be it your mother, aunt, or grandmother. The joy of a necklace like this is that you can make it unique to each recipient. Maybe your mother prefers a silver pendant in the style of disks, or maybe your aunt wants something in gold. There are plenty of choices for you to pick from.
Another reason why you should gift mothers name necklaces from us individually is that we make sure that our name necklaces from the highest quality metals. Because of us taking the time to ensure quality, our accessories are perfect for those who have sensitive skin. Take our Patchwork Pendants, for example, they are made of Sterling Silver and are not only durable but also excellent quality, and very stylish. You want to ensure that a necklace with meaning like this, that it will be able to last for years to come.
BEST BANG for your BUDGET
Before you go into buying a necklace, it’s good to set a budget. When you are shopping for nameplate necklaces, price is something to consider, because this can be a factor in what features you can receive in a name necklace design. While a more straightforward design that features a single name is a cheaper option, it won't be the top option if you want to include multiple names on the pendant.
It’s also important to look at the engraving costs when buying custom name necklaces. With most necklace options, you will have to pay an extra charge upwards of $15 to $50 depending on the design and how many names you want to be engraved on it. Some sites like ours will do the calculations for you and will give you multiple options and set prices for how many engravings you want. Other websites and stores can charge by the character, usually a $1 per letter.
Here are some more things to consider when budgeting for the cost and style of your name necklace purchase:
- Do you want a specific font for the names?
- How many names do you want to include?
- What style will best fit your wants?
- What metal do you want your necklace to be made from?
- Are you including and unique stones or gems to your necklace?
- Are there any specific finishes or textures you want to have on your pendant?
Does a higher price mean better quality?
Just because a pendant may cost a high amount, it doesn't mean that it is better quality. In fact, some of the best-designed necklaces won't require you to break the bank. So, search for the design you really want, and don't let it be about the price. Let it be about how the design will complement the wearer and the meaning that it will hold for them.
CHOOSING your METAL
In planning what necklace you will purchase, it is essential also to consider what kind of metal will be the most agreeable for the person you are buying it for. But why? Well, while the design is essential, so is the metal that you choose. Your mother may have a preference for what metal she likes and dislikes to wear. Maybe she is a fan of gold because it matches with her other jewelry and accessories. Or perhaps she loves how silver looks on her. Taking time to know what her preference is, shows that you put thought and care into her style.
Another reason why it is essential to take care in choosing the metal is that some may cause an allergic reaction to the wearer. For example, while you may prefer the look of the color silver, your mom may be allergic to it, and can only wear 24k gold. Because of this, and multiple other reasons that we will cover, it’s good to know all the options, pros, and cons, of each metal, specifically gold and silver.
