Jewelry can take your outfits to another level, adding some sparkle that you can personalize to fit your mood and activity. Trends like toe rings and belly chains come and go, and typically it’s the basic chains or pearls that are always considered fashionable, but there are some statement pieces that never go out of style — including nameplate necklaces.

The classic jewelry trend has maintained its spot within the fashion realm for decades now and has no plans of fading anytime soon. Celebrities have long been fans of the nameplate necklace, proving that the look still dominates accessories today. Just look at Ice Spice’s iconic princess necklace, seen throughout her Instagram feed and even in a partnership with Dunkin Donuts.

Shows like Sex and the City also spotlight the necklace, which can be seen on Sarah Jessica Parker’s character, Carrie.

Other stars including Jennifer Lopez, Halsey, Beyonce, Rihanna, Adele and Madonna (just to name a few), have also been spotted sporting a nameplate necklace, proving that time has no meaning when it comes to the trend.

What Are the Best Nameplate Necklaces?

From simple designs to more bold and glimmering rhinestone styles, the best nameplate necklaces span multiple styles and materials. What’s even better is you can completely customize most styles to say whatever you want, whether it’s your name, a nickname or someone close to you’s name. Nameplate necklaces also make thoughtful gifts to surprise everyone from new moms to your best friend.

To help inspire you, Billboard Shopping went through and found the most-loved and highly-reviewed nameplate necklaces, to help you hop on the trend no matter your budget or aesthetic. All of the our top picks below let you customize the necklace with the initials or letters of your choice.

This Rainbow Enamel Name Necklace from Etsy is one of the more affordable options that we’ve seen. It’s also extremely colorful, making it a standout on our list. Retailing for $24, this necklace can be customized down to the size of the chain you’d like. You have the option to pick between Rose Gold, Gold and Silver chains. You’ll also be able to pick out the colors you’d like to use for the letter charms. While we think going full-on rainbow is awesome, you can also color coordinate or keep it monochrome. The letter charms are in a funky bubble style, giving the jewelry a maximalist vibe. If you’re looking for a statement necklace that you can tailor to your specifications, then this Etsy option is for you.

This is one of the most unique options we’ve seen for nameplate or nameplate adjacent styles. This Build Your Own Beaded Charm Necklace from Brook & York retails for $110 and is a more maximalist option than the rest. When shopping the style, you can customize the charms and how many you’d like on your necklace (you can have up to five). You’ll also be able to change the chain the charms sit on with options like a Snake, Curb and Tennis. If you don’t want your full name on a chain for all to see, this nameplate option gives folks the opportunity to stick to initials.

Nameplates can kind of be on the nose. If you’re looking for a less-traditional name-forward nameplate, Caitlyn Minimalist has a version accompanied by a cute safety pin motif. The dainty style retails for $29.63 and comes in three finishes: Rose Gold, 18K Gold and Sterling Silver. Just beneath the necklace is where your chosen name lies, a subtle touch. We’d pick up the delicate style to use as a layering piece to make your go-to necklace stack a little fuller.
