Ghetto-fab, or just fabulous?


Remember the famous "Carrie" necklace worn by Sex and the City protagonist, Carrie Bradshaw? This simple little necklace sparked a craze for name necklaces with its flirty, curvaceous lettering and delicate gold chain. Well that necklace wasn't made by a huge designer name, nor does it have a huge designer price tag! The makers of these and other personalized pieces is MyNameNecklace.com, an online retailer of hand-crafted, customized, jewellery services, including the famous "Carrie" for prices ranging from $30 to as much as $140.

Styles include the "Carrie" style, Vinyl Crush (on acrylic), Swarovski crystal necklaces, name rings, and the Love collection, which features the intertwined names of couples on a single piece. As well, you can choose from 14k gold, 18k gold plated, 14k white gold, or silver, and a variety of chain lengths.


Other celebs love it too!


As an extra bonus, MyNameNecklace was kind enough to send me a product to review! I was pleasantly pleased with the range of chain length options offered, and was very eager to receive my necklace as I've never been able to find anything with "Jordana" on it before. Delivery was very prompt, with the package arriving in a matter of weeks, which is pretty commendable considering it was specially made just for me!



As seen below, the necklace is perfect! It lies just beneath my collarbone and is a very pretty silver color. The chain is rather delicate, but I wore it straight for a weekend with no mishaps, so I'd guess it's stronger than first thought. Overall this was a very satisfying product, and wearing it instantly makes me feel girly, flirty, and all sorts of sexy, just like that other famous name necklace wearer.

What a gorgeous name you have!

The necklace is just plain fabulous, but the big gold bamboo hoops with "Carrie" written inside them that SJP sported on SATC were totally ghetto fab.

You better believe I would LOVE to get one! If you ever see a boy walking down the street with one, you'll know it's me ;-)

Cheers from Seattle,

steph said...

Aw i like it! maybe i'll get mine next! although i'm worried that "stephanie" is just too long, and "steph" doesn't look very good. what do you think?

Jordana is such a pretty name...love it!

MizzJ said...

@ambika: I do believe! I feel your pain unusual name sister!

@lisa: ohh yes you are totally right! Though I think if you pair them with something very classy maybe they'd be less ghetto fab? Or something boho?

@EmeraldDandy: That would be awesome!

@glove*baby: I got the 2nd smallest size, I think it was like 16"?

@steph: Go with stephanie, it's only 2 letters longer than mine so it's still ok!

Thanks guys for all the compliments on my name!

I love it. I'm a maid of honor at a wedding this summer and my bride is getting all the bridesmaids personalized nameplate necklaces (I think). I can't wait.
Also, thanks for the comment! I'm going to add you to my blogroll.

That's beautiful. Didn't they make a Carrie necklace and weren't girls sporting the name Carrie for a while after SATC? THAT'S GHETTO: wearing someone else's name on your neck, unless it's your sweetie's name. :D Love the look of that necklace! Rock it!

MizzJ said...

@Dream Sequins: lol good point!

Eda said...

I would really like one...maybe this way people will pronounce me name wright:)

Deka said...

cant decide if i'd ever wear one, but it looked good on carrie.
i'm sure yours will work too :)

Johnni said...

I might have to get one (not for myself)! That looks pretty tight. IT would suck if you had an ugly name though. LOL. Jordana is a nice name. I like the J's. I bet you wouldn't wear that to shower though, right? And get the chain all discolored.
