Monogram Necklace

I love dainty necklaces. I am not a big statement necklace gal (J. Crew bubble necklace are certainly my exceptions. Feel with the dainty necklaces, it is easier to wear with my every day tops without "wowing" too much. 

If you are a " Sex and the City" fan, you would not forget the " Carrie necklace". I have always wanted  one of those. 

There are also monogram necklaces that I have seen on bloggers(Tweed and ToileRespect the Shoes). They are simple but yet elegant. 

These come in different finishes. You can pick colors or you can pick gold/silver.


I am more a silver gal when it comes to jewelry.  I ordered it from MyNameNecklace.com. They have a  great variety of monogram/name necklaces. It took approximately 2 weeks for my order to arrive. Considering it is custom-made, the delivery time is not bad at all. 


The pendant itself is not very thick as I thought it would be. It is quite thin. Also, the chain it comes with looks really cheap and I replaced it with one of my own sterling silver chain and it looks much better. 

There are many stores which offer similar necklaces (BaubleBar). Think their version is a much better quality one. Just too bad they do not offer shipping to Canada.

    1. If only Baublebar would ship to Canada, I would definitely get that instead of this one. That one looks much sturdier.

    1. Yes, I'm convinced that online costume jewelry purchase is a big GAMBLE! I will try to stay away from them unless I have seen them in person. Online images can be so deceiving!

  5. This is SO pretty! I am obsessed! That stinks that the chain was cheap but the one you replaced it with goes perfectly with the pendant!

    1. yes, I'm surprised the chain it came with is such of bad quality. But glad I have another sterling silver chain to change into. Otherwise, it would be a total bummer.

    1. Find silver jewelry goes with pretty much everything. I just wish it's just a bit thicker and feels sturdier. I'm so scared that I would break it.

  9. I often replace the chains of my pendant necklaces because the stuff it just comes with sometimes feel like after-thoughts. I adore that silver monogram necklace though - it is really classic and goes with everything. I've been contemplating getting a gold or silver one, but I don't want to shell out the bucks!

    1. I saw a rose gold one and really nice. Even though I'm not 100% happy with the quality, I will still wear this a lot as it goes with pretty much everything.

  10. This is SO pretty! I've been eyeing these lately, but I can't decide whether I want it in gold or silver. I like both metals, so it's hard to decide! You've got me looking into this one now :) I know what you mean about the "Carrie" necklace! I got mine as a present back in HS however, a few years before SATC. I loved it to death, literally, and the chain is out being repaired for the 1,000th time (lost count) Ok end ramble.. hahaha

    1. I am always a silver gal so it's easy for me to decide. But I do see a very nice rose gold that I love. The Carrie necklace is so cute. I have always wanted one.
