Name Jewelry and Its Memories
You might have been one of the little tots on the playground back in the day, sporting the latest craze in sneakers. And around your wrist, you might have had a little glint whenever you moved your hand. Or maybe it was a flash of gold or silver around your neck that you liked to stop and fiddle with from time to time. As a child, nothing could be considered more precious than getting a little piece of jewelry with your name on it. When you’re young, your name is still so new to you. Everything from the spelling to the way it looked on paper was fascinating to you. To see your name embossed in gold or rhinestones was nothing short of a miracle. To wear your name proudly and shining on yourself was an honor. Whether it was a necklace or name rings, as a child the gift was phenomenal.
And yet, some people lose that childlike wonder for his or her name as they grow older. A person can grow so accustomed to writing their name on essay after essay, or signing endless credit card bills, that the wonder and mystery of a person’s name is gone. Which is a shame, since a name is so precious. The meaning and origin behind a name can hold such power over the person you become, it seems disastrous to lose sight of your name’s importance. Name jewelry may seem like it’s targeted towards a younger crowd. And yet, it can hold even more sentimental value for adults. The longer you spend with your name, the most it becomes a part of you. The self-worth of having you name on a necklace or ring can be beyond moving.
Not that such jewelry is rare in more adult settings. If you already have a special piece of jewelry, why not have your name engraved upon it? Giving someone jewelry with your name on it is also a great gift idea. It can be overwhelming in a store when trying to find jewelry gifts. But giving someone jewelry with their name on it makes it a much more loving and personal gift.
Even if you weren’t one of the children on the playground with your name on your jewelry, never fear. There’s always time to find that newfound love for your name and celebrate it.
