Name necklaces have been fashionable items for decades now, particularly in the African American communities. Even though it's commonly thought that black rappers were the ones who brought up the concept of wearing name necklaces, actually this fashion was a historical development by the black community, which set out to reclaim their fading cultural identity after they themselves were starting to fade away due to the harsh societal conditions they were living in at the time. The styles and designs varied from simple rope chains to elaborate bracelets with embedded names.
These days, these jewelries are once again becoming very popular, although they still are for the most part reserved for women belonging to the black community alone. It's mostly women who wear these pendants nowadays and it's not uncommon to see teenagers and young adults adorning their wrists with matching jewelries like these. However, there are still some instances where a woman can be seen wearing them (usually by members of the upper class) as symbols of status. This is actually a very old tradition and goes back to the time when white slave traders brought along with them some silver name necklaces which their slaves used for identification purposes. Those who weren't lucky to escape from the clutches of these brutal exploiters would be marked for life with these chains that hung like cuffs from their necks.
In the modern day, many jewelers have rethought these necklaces and released numerous styles of these pendants which have become quite popular even among non-racially specific groups. There are still some groups, however, that still adhere to certain traditional styles of these jewelries but at the same time, they now come in various styles, designs, shapes, sizes, etc. You can get pendants that have emerald green, black, blue, white, and yellow gemstones but most of the new designs that we see these days have gone more natural with just about any gemstone you can think of. There are some which come with genuine sapphires, rubies, and even topaz. Some jewelers even sell personalized gemstones such as engraving names and initials on the back of these pendants.
Another trend of the last few years has been the use of sterling silver as the material for making the pendants and necklaces. This is especially true for the more expensive ones since sterling silver is known to be much higher in quality and value than other types of materials used in making these jewelries. This is also the case with some of the newer and more popular name necklaces, which are usually made with semi-precious and sometimes precious gemstones. Some of the more popular options are pendants that come in round, oval, heart and square shapes; ones that feature emerald green or ruby red gemstones; and those that have rubies, sapphires, or emeralds as their stones. Some of the more unique ones that I have seen are pendants that have the names of the recipient and are worn on the right shoulder while there are others which are made to be worn on the left shoulder but have the same gemstones.
Because of the recent surge of popularity of this kind of name necklaces and pendants, many jewelers are starting to offer them in a wide variety of styles so that people can choose between the different pieces they want. You can also get these jewelry pieces at affordable prices from online jewelry shops. You may want to check out the different websites of these jewelers to get more information about the styles they are offering and the price ranges they have. The best thing about buying jewelries online is that you will be able to see the product before you buy it. There are some jewelers who ship their products for free especially if you buy in bulk orders.
Another reason why some people prefer sterling silver or other high-quality metals as the precious stones for their name necklaces and pendants is because of the affordable prices they have. Sterling silver jewelry is less expensive than other precious metals such as gold. Prices of gold are on the rise nowadays and it would not be surprising if its price continues to rise because of the growing demand for gold and jewelry. The price of sterling silver is lower than most other metals and it has the natural beauty and durability people are looking for when choosing jewelry. I am sure that as time goes by, the use of silver name necklaces and pendants will become more popular and more people will wear them. Personalized Jewelry
