I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't have a deep love and appreciation for personalized jewelry. From my formative years with beaded bracelets up until now with elevated fine-metal options, I have always had a personalized piece as part of my daily repertoire. I know I am not alone in this, as my friends, peers, and fellow editors are reaching for personalized styles as well. It just so happens that the selection is better than ever, which inspired me to do a deep dive to find the chicest personalized jewelry picks of the moment. Naturally, I went straight to the stylish fashion editors here at Who What Wear to get started.
While this deep dive was, of course, successful thanks to their always-stylish recommendations, I have to admit that this may have done me more harm than good in the must-have department—I found myself wanting to buy every last piece they shared. After you check out all the chic pendants, cool nameplate necklaces, beautiful signet rings, standout bracelets, and so much more below, I bet you'll be in the same predicament. Scroll on to check out 41 chic personalized jewelry picks for treating yourself or perhaps giving to a loved one.
"I'm picky when it comes to personalized jewelry because a lot of styles don't feel 'cool' enough, but I'm obsessed with Stone and Strand's fun-loving take on an initial necklace with its bubble-like letters. It's a style that's easy to wear every day on its own or mixed into your jewelry stack."
"I'm eyeing this year ring right now. I'll be representing 1998 babies!"
"Personalized jewelry—nameplates specifically—is a big part of my culture, so I really appreciate it. Some of mine are from custom jewelers, but I really love the selection from The M Jewelers."
"This locket is a great find because you can choose the type of gold chain and length of the chain and get it engraved, of course. It's simple and elegant and has all of the qualities of an heirloom."
"This whimsical initial necklace would be perfect for gifts, especially at this price point. It's a great size too. It's small enough to wear daily but not so small that you can't see the letter."
"I'm a fan of all of the personalized pieces that Venice-based jewelry brand Öugie creates, but my favorite has to be this Double Initial Necklace. The simple two-letter chain is perfect for my stack, and I love that it's 14k gold and won't get ruined. Ever since I got engaged, I've been getting more and more into investing in my jewelry, and what better investment piece is there than something with your name on it? So good."
"I got this Anna necklace as a bridesmaid's gift for my friend who got married this summer, and it never fails to earn me compliments. It looks cute solo but also paired with layers of gold. You can't go wrong."
"Carrie Bradshaw would definitely approve of these earrings that I own from The M Jewelers. They're so fun for a night out and are a great way to show your personality through your accessories."
"Another personalized item in my collection is this necklace from Stone and Strand. I love having my initial on a pendant because it makes this necklace feel special to me. It's the perfect piece for daily wear."
"I've been a fan of BabyGold for a while because it offers fine jewelry at a great price point. In my opinion, this makes for the perfect gift."
"I'm obsessed with signet rings, and this one is fun and chic. It is hard to settle on getting just one initial."
"These understated charms are a so luxe and a true classic. I love that you can alternate the chain you keep them on and the little bit of sparkle they add to your neckline."
"I was gifted this lovely personalized necklace after the birth of my daughter. It's a sweet and beautiful reminder of that precious, fleeting moment in time."
"When my son and daughter were born, I wanted a special piece of jewelry that celebrated the pride and joy of my little ones. I found the perfect necklaces from Tiny Tags—a fine jewelry company that makes personalized jewelry for moms. They're one of the few companies that offer back engraving, so I got two Mini Dog Tag Necklaces with their names on one side and their birthdates on the other. The brand also offers an option to have your child's birthstone on it too. They're so special and easy to wear. They make for great gifts for expecting moms or parents of all ages."
"I'm obsessed with The Birthdate Pendant Necklace from Birthdate Co. Inspired by astrology and numerology, the brand offers custom-made gold or silver zodiac pendant necklaces with gemstones and crystals specific to your birthday. The quality is amazing, the design is stunning, and the gemstones are beautiful. With each pendant necklace is an astrological prescription of four stones that will bring you the perfect energy and good fortune."
