Fashion Jewelry Trends - The Popularity of Names

Mother Jewelry

Name jewelry is one of the trendiest types of fashion accessory for both men and women. A large part of this modern upswing in popularity is due to the hip hop culture where large name jewelry items have become the defining fashion in bling. Not all name jewelry has to be large and noticeable, however the trend is certainly the bigger the better when it comes to celebrities, rappers and those that want to make a splash in the club. But name jewelry is also very popular as traditional mothers jewelry.

Name rings and name necklaces are by far the most popular items with online stores and retailers. Necklaces can either hold a pendant personalized with a name or can have a name attached directly to the chain. These solid looking and highly flashy necklaces can be long or short, with longer styles more commonly worn by men and short, closer to the neck lengths popular with women. The gamut of precious metals can be chosen for these pieces, depending on personal preference and budget. Gems, particularly diamonds, rubies, sapphires and emeralds are also used on the chains and necklaces, some simulated or synthetic but also some using real gemstones.

The rings that are popular include two and three finger rings that are wide enough to easily display the whole name or a particular slogan or phrase. Fitting these two and three finger name rings is important as they have to be comfortable but also secure on the hand. Many people that are looking for these types of rings have them custom made and fitted, providing just the right match for their fashion taste. Rings, like the necklaces, can be in virtually any metal or combination plus they often have the diamonds and other precious and semi-precious stones.

In some cases the heavier hip hop style fashion looks terrific as a monogram or initial type of ring or necklace. These tend to be bulkier in style than traditional monogram rings and often include additional detailing around the initials. Currently, the white metals are the most popular - sterling silver, white gold, palladium, and platinum. These initial rings or name rings are worn by both men and women, with some styles and types equally suitable for either gender. With men’s styles, you’ll see larger, more masculine styles.
