TIPS ON choosing YOUR NAME NECKLACE
There’s no right or wrong way to choose a name necklace but with so many options to choose from, it can get a little overwhelming. We have some tips to help you narrow down your selection and choose the name jewelry that is perfect for your lifestyle and is exactly what you’re searching for.
BODY FRAME
Think about your body frame. This is an important factor to consider when choosing the perfect name necklace. Those with a smaller body frame might prefer name jewelry that is smaller and more refined in nature such as a signature font name pendant. Those with a larger body frame might lean more towards something that is bold and more of a statement piece.
ACTIVITY LEVEL
Think about your activity level. If you have a more sedentary level of activity, you have a wide range of choices. Signature font, larger statement pieces and tag style name jewelry are a great way to display your name and won’t get in the way for day to day activities.
For those with a moderate to highly active level of living, think name bar pendants or couples name jewelry that is attached to the necklace at either end. This prevents any sort of sliding of the pendant that could get caught in clothing during strenuous activities.
LIFESTYLE
Lifestyle matters when it comes to choosing your ideal name necklace. Those that are looking for a name pendant to fit with a professional lifestyle might prefer understated options such as initial name pendants, name tag jewelry and heart name pendants would be a great fit.
For those who have a more casual lifestyle, add some color and fun! Think birthstone name jewelry and combine birthstones with the names of those special people in your life.
THINK RECOGNITION
When choosing a name pendant, consider who you want to recognize. If you wish to recognize a single individual, bar name necklaces and initial name pendants are a great option and hold anywhere from a single letter to up to twelve characters.
When seeking to recognize families, infinity style name jewelry and family name pendants can be personalized with anywhere from two to six names.
SKIN TONE
Different skin tones pair better with different metals. Cool skin tones pair best with lighter metals such as sterling silver and stainless steel. People with warm skin tones compliment well with gold, rose gold and copper. If you have a neutral skin tone, both silver and gold metals match well.

NAME PLATE NECKLACE gifting ideas AND OCCASIONS
Name jewelry is a great gift option and makes for a great personal choice for any recipient on any occasion.
SELECTING THE RIGHT necklace with name ON IT FOR THE RIGHT PERSON & OCCASION
Choosing the right name necklace can be a challenge. We have some tips and tricks to help remove the guess work out and guide you toward a perfect choice.
KEEP IT FAMILIAR
Choose what is familiar to you or to them such as the name they go by most often, the ‘name’ in their life that means the most to them. Their first name, their role such as ‘Mom’ or ‘Nana’. Stick with what you know is familiar and comfortable to them.
CONSIDER THEIR LIFESTYLE
A busy on the go mom is less likely to wear a larger-sized name necklace, while a less active grandmother or professional might like something that is a little oversized. Be certain to consider their day to day activities when choosing a name necklace.
DESIGN TO THEIR PERSONALITY
Name necklaces can be customized to reflect the personality of the recipient. Straightforward name necklaces are great for the woman who likes to keep it simple or you can add a birthstone to a more ornate name necklace for the woman with a vibrant and colorful personal nature.
CREATE YOUR OWN
Because all of our necklaces are manufactured, designed and shipped from one location, we can help you create a name necklace that is completely one of a kind and unique to your ideas.

FIND ALL your name jewelry FAQ'S HERE
Find answers to all your questions about name on necklace jewelry here!
Does the name necklace tarnish or fade with prolonged wear?
Your name necklace is made of .925 sterling silver with anti-tarnish qualities and will not tarnish or fade. We do recommend not wearing your name jewelry while bathing, showering or swimming as harsh chemicals found in pools and soaps and shampoos can damage the integrity of the metal over time. Consistent cleaning with the included cleaning and polishing cloth will also help to maintain the beauty of your Messages in Metal name pendant.
Do you have to use a name or can you use a word?
Your personalized necklace can be customized with a name, a word, virtually any string of letters that you’d like. First names, last names, nicknames, words that define you like ‘Strong’, ‘Brave’, etc. We can custom create anything you’d like and if you have questions about a custom name necklace, call us at 1-877-244-9625 or email us at sales@messagesinmetal.com and we will be happy to help.
Does the gold plating wear off?
The gold plating will not wear off of your name plate necklace. We do suggest that you refrain from pairing your pendant with other pendants or necklaces that it may rub against as this can compromise the integrity of the plating over time. Weekly cleaning of your name jewelry and removing during bathing will help to preserve the shine and durability of the pendant.
Is it real sterling silver?
Yes. Your name necklace is made from .925 sterling silver with anti-tarnish qualities and the metal is 1mm thick. This far exceeds the industry standards.
How long will my name necklace take to arrive?
Your custom name necklace will ship 2-3 days after order processing. Once your name jewelry is finished, it ships out in our custom Messages in Metal packaging. Delivery time frame is 2-4 days. Total delivery time from order placement to delivery is 5-7 business days.
How tall are the letters?
The height of the letters of the name necklace will vary. Different letters have different heights and uppercase letters are greater in height than lower case letters. The height of your personalized name necklace can range from ¼” up to ¾” from top to bottom depending on the letters that are used.
Do you offer combined shipping if I’m ordering two name necklaces to ship to the same address?
Absolutely! If you are ordering one, two, three or more the shipping cost is one low price to ship all the name plated necklace jewelry to one address.
Can guys wear a name necklace?
You bet he can! Personalized necklace name jewelry is ideal for men and women alike. We have styles like our dog tag name pendants that may be more appealing to men but we can also change up the style of a particular necklace with name on it and give it a more masculine feel. Call us at 1-877-244-9625 or email us at sales@messagesinmetal.com and let us help you design a custom name necklace for your favorite guy!
Can you capitalize a letter after the first letter? Like DawnLucy?
Most definitely! We can custom design your personalized necklace with capital letters, birthstones, letters strung together that hold particular meaning and more. The options are endless and our goal is to give you name jewelry that is exactly what you want.
Do you deliver name jewelry to Canada?
deliver name jewelry to Canada, the United States and all over the world. Your name necklace will arrive in our specially designed black and white Messages in Metal packaging. Tracking information is sent when your item ships to the email address used when you placed your order and this gives you up to date information on where your package is at.
What is the total length of the name necklaces?
The length of your name necklace will vary depending on what style of name jewelry you ordered. Our signature font necklaces include an 18” high quality chain plus a 3” extender. Depending on the length of the name, the total length of your name jewelry will range from 19” to over 23” in length. For our other necklaces with names like our name tag jewelry, a 20” chain with 2” extender is included with your selection. The total length of the name tag necklace will be 20” to 22” depending on use of the extender.
Will the name pendant bend?
Your necklace with name on it will not bend. We do recommend that you do not where your personalized jewelry during strenuous activity or while sleeping in order to prevent the jewelry from getting caught on clothing or inadvertently damaged.
Is the necklace more like a choker or is it longer?
The name necklace will lie differently on every person. The chain for our signature font name necklaces measures 18” in length and the necklace has a 3” extender. Depending on the length of the name and whether or not you use the extender, the personalized necklace will sit at the base of the throat or further down on the chest near the top of the sternum. Our name tag jewelry and family name pendants include a 20” chain with 2” extender and this means your name necklace will lie around the top of the sternum or slightly lower.
What kind of chain comes with the name jewelry?
Our necklace name plate jewelry includes a high quality chain. The chain will measure anywhere from 18” up to 24” and our 18” and 20” standard chains include extenders on the end. This allows for great versatility with your personalized jewelry and lets you make it longer or shorter with ease.
Can I order this morning and receive tomorrow?
A personalized necklace name pendant takes 2-3 days to design and manufacture. All of our name pendants are made in house and are made to order - nothing is prefabricated. We do have expedited shipping which means after the 2-3 days need to design and manufacture we can overnight or two day air your Messages in Metal selection. But we do not have 24 hour turnaround due to the specialty nature of your name necklace.
Can I see a proof of my name pendant before you send it?
We absolutely can send you a proof of your custom name necklace before we send it. Once you approve the design proof we can begin the actual manufacturing of the name jewelry. From order placement to design to manufacturing to packaging takes 2-3 business days.
Can you do Chinese characters instead of a name?
Yes we can! We can design a custom name necklace that is exactly what you’d like. A name, a word, Chinese characters, a dog paw - the sky is the limit! Simply send us an email at sales@messagesinmetal.com or give us a call at 1-877-244-9625 and we will help you come up with a personalized name necklace design that suits you to a T!
I can’t tell how thick the pendant is. Do you have specifics on the thickness of the metal?
Our name plate necklace jewelry is 1mm in thickness. This exceeds the industry standards as other companies only offer a thickness of 0.6mm - 0.8mm for their name necklaces. We strive to give you the best value for your money!
Is the name necklace easy to clean?
Our name necklace jewelry is very easy to clean! A Messages in Metal monogrammed cleaning cloth is included with your order and we suggest that you clean and polish your name jewelry once every couple of weeks. Consistent cleaning will help to remove build-up and oils that may cause the name pendant to look dull or dirty. Do NOT use harsh chemicals to clean your name necklace as chemicals can compromise the integrity of the jewelry.
I want a 16” chain. Is this an option?
At this time we only offer 18”, 20” and 24” high quality chains to go with our name necklaces. Our 18” chain includes a 2” extender and our 20” chain includes a 3” extender. The extender gives the wearer a higher degree of versatility with the name necklace and allows for the necklace to be lengthened or shortened as desired.
I’m buying this as a gift and shipping it right to the person. Does it come gift wrapped and can I request a gift receipt?
Your custom name necklace from Messages in Metal comes packaged in a jeweler’s gift box and monogrammed white presentation box. The jewelry will be surrounded by monogrammed Messages in Metal tissue paper and includes a high quality cleaning and polishing cloth. We absolutely can include a gift receipt and gift wrap your name on necklace jewelry at no additional charge.
I don’t like any of the fonts you offer. Can I send you a font that I like and have a name pendant made in that font?
Yes you can! We specialize in custom name necklaces and would be happy to design a pendant in the font that you love. Simply send us an email at sales@messagesinmetal.com and include a sampling of your font and the name that you would like. We can do a proof and email back and begin manufacturing your name necklace once the proof is approved and the order is placed.
I have a hyphenated name. Can you add the hyphen?
We sure can add a hyphen. Just be sure to include the hyphen when you personalize your necklace with name on the product page. It does count as a character so if for some reason this makes your name longer than the allowed characters, give us a call at 1-877-244-9625 and we can modify the order on our end to accept the extra character.
Where is the name necklace made?
