Personalised necklaces are a nostalgic piece of everyday jewellery that will *never* go out of style. Whether you put on an engraved locket, a birthstone necklace, or the initials of someone you love, there's just something comforting about wearing jewellery that represents your personal history.
Besides: wearing personalised jewellery gives main character energy - we don't make the rules. Carrie Bradshaw's nameplate necklace had a starring role in Sex and The City, and who could forget Regina George's initial "R" pendant in Mean Girls? Elle Woods wore a silver engraved Tiffany necklace in Legally Blonde, and... well, you get the picture.
If you're shopping for a gift for a loved one (or a well-deserved payday treat for yourself), the Cosmopolitan fashion desk has put together a definitive guide to the best personalised necklaces to buy now and cherish forever.
