Name Necklaces

Custom Name Necklaces — Handcrafted in Sterling Silver, 14K Gold Filled & Solid Gold

A name necklace is the most personal piece of jewelry you can wear. It is your name, your child's name, the name of someone you love — spelled out in metal, worn close to your skin. At Zumra Jewels, every name necklace is made to order by hand in your choice of 925 Sterling Silver, 14K Gold Filled, 14K Rose Gold Filled, 14K Solid Gold, or 14K Solid White Gold. No two are exactly alike. Free personalization is included on every order, and each piece ships in a signature gift box within 2–3 business days.

Name Necklace Styles

Gold Filled Name Necklaces. Our 14K Gold Filled name necklaces are our most popular style by far. Gold filled jewelry contains a thick layer of real 14K gold bonded permanently to a base metal core — it is 100x more gold than gold plated, will not fade, chip, or tarnish with regular wear, and is safe for sensitive skin. If you are looking for the look and feel of solid gold at a more accessible price, a 14K gold filled name necklace is the answer. Available in yellow gold and rose gold.

Sterling Silver Name Necklaces. Classic, versatile, and timeless. Our 925 Sterling Silver name necklaces suit every skin tone, every style, and every budget. Sterling Silver is the most durable option for everyday wear and takes personalization particularly well — the bright white metal makes engraved lettering crisp and easy to read. Our silver name necklaces range from delicate fine-chain styles to bolder nameplate designs.

Bubble Name Necklaces. Our bubble name necklace style features rounded, balloon-style block lettering that has a bold, playful character entirely its own. This is one of our fastest-growing styles — it suits names of any length and is particularly striking in 14K Gold Filled. If you want a name necklace that stands out rather than blends in, the bubble letter style is the choice.

Old English Name Necklaces. For a piece with real visual weight and heritage, our Old English nameplate necklace uses gothic script lettering that gives any name a distinctive, confident character. Available in 14K Gold Filled and Sterling Silver, and one of our most popular styles for men's name jewelry as well as women's.

Name Necklaces in Other Languages. Your name in your own language is a powerful thing. We offer name necklaces in Arabic script, Hebrew, Russian Cyrillic, Chinese characters, and more. These are among our most meaningful pieces — they connect wearers to their language, culture, and heritage in a way that a romanized spelling simply cannot. If you would like your name rendered in a specific script, add it in the personalization field at checkout exactly as you would like it to appear.

How to Order a Custom Name Necklace

Ordering is straightforward. Select your preferred style, choose your metal (Sterling Silver, 14K Gold Filled, 14K Rose Gold Filled, or 14K Solid Gold), select your chain length (we offer 14", 16", 18", 20", and 22"), and type the name exactly as you would like it to appear in the personalization field. For names in non-Latin scripts, type the characters directly. We will craft your piece exactly as specified.

For names longer than 10 characters, we recommend an 18" or longer chain to ensure the pendant proportion is balanced. If you are unsure, note the name length in the personalization field and we will advise before production.

Layering Name Necklaces

Name necklaces were made to be layered. A favorite combination: your name on a 16" chain, a child's name on an 18" chain, and a birthstone pendant on a 20" chain — all in matching gold filled metal. The different lengths keep each piece visible and the layered look tells a complete personal story. All Zumra chains are available in consistent metals so multi-piece sets coordinate seamlessly.

Name Necklaces as Gifts

A custom name necklace is among the most reliably loved gifts in jewelry. It is specific — you chose their name, their metal, their style — and specific gifts communicate care in a way generic gifts cannot. Our name necklaces are popular for: Mother's Day (a child's name for Mom), birthdays, Christmas, Valentine's Day, baby showers (new parent's name, or baby's name), graduation, and just-because gifts that say more than a card ever could.

All pieces arrive gift-boxed and ready to give. If you need a gift message included, add it in the order notes at checkout.

Name Necklace Materials — Which Is Right for You

Choosing a metal for a name necklace comes down to three questions: your budget, your skin sensitivity, and your personal style. Here is how each option compares:

• 925 Sterling Silver — Bright, cool-toned, and the most budget-friendly. Best for those who prefer silver-toned jewelry or have very sensitive skin. Requires occasional polishing to maintain shine.
• 14K Gold Filled — Warm gold tone with genuine durability. Does not tarnish or fade with regular wear. Safe for sensitive skin. The best value for everyday gold jewelry.
• 14K Rose Gold Filled — A warm, romantic tone that flatters all skin tones. Identical durability to yellow gold filled. Our fastest-growing metal option.
• 14K Solid Gold — The most durable and valuable option. Available on select styles. Appropriate for heirloom-quality pieces meant to be worn and passed down for generations.

Frequently Asked Questions — Name Necklaces

How long does a custom name necklace take to ship?

All name necklaces are made to order and ship within 2–3 business days. US delivery typically takes 3–5 business days after dispatch. We ship to the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and internationally. Expedited shipping options are available at checkout.

Is a gold filled name necklace the same as gold plated?

No — gold filled and gold plated are significantly different. Gold plated jewelry has a microscopically thin layer of gold (typically 0.5 microns) that wears off within months. 14K Gold Filled has a layer of real 14K gold that is 50–100x thicker, permanently bonded to the base metal. A 14K Gold Filled name necklace will maintain its appearance with daily wear for years, not months. It will not fade, chip, or turn your skin green.

Can I order a name necklace with two names?

Yes. Several designs in our name necklace collection accommodate two or more names, either on a single pendant or as separate pendants on one chain. You can specify all names in the personalization field at checkout. For stacked or side-by-side name designs, note the preferred layout and we will confirm before production.

Can you make a name necklace in Arabic, Hebrew, or Russian?

Yes. We offer name necklaces in Arabic script, Hebrew, Russian Cyrillic, Chinese characters, and other non-Latin scripts. Simply type the name in the correct script characters in the personalization field. If you are unsure of the correct spelling in your language, type it in both your language and in romanized form and we will confirm before crafting your piece.

What chain length should I choose for a name necklace?

The most popular chain length for name necklaces is 18", which sits just below the collarbone on most adults — long enough to be visible, short enough to layer with longer chains. For shorter names (up to 6 characters), 16" works well and sits at the collarbone. For longer names or nameplate styles, 18"–20" provides the best proportion. If you are ordering as a gift and unsure of neck size, 18" is the safest universal choice.
