Top Picks for Name Necklaces Inspired by Sex in the City
There’s no doubt that Sex in the City was a show ahead of its time. Some of us have grown up watching the four ladies and their journey. But it isn’t just the storyline, it’s also the fashion trends that came from the iconic show.
One unforgettable trend the series gave us was Carrie Bradshaw’s timeless name necklace. Whether you are a Carrie fan or simply believe in individuality, name necklaces will never treat you wrong. Today we will discuss the best picks for name personalisation, inspired by the truly iconic Sex in the City.

The Rise of the Name Personalisation
Do you remember the scene where Carrie misplaces her name necklace and panics? This subtle scene is a reminder that her name necklace is not just a piece of jewellery; it is a symbol. A symbol of her identity, independence, and her journey in New York. In today’s fast fashion world, we have begun to lose our unique touch. Amidst this mainstream energy, name personalisation help you express your personality.
That is exactly why audiences all over the world were able to relate to Carrie and craved a name pendant, marking the start of the name necklace trend. In 2025, name necklaces are still going proud and strong. It’s a deeply personal piece that tells a story.
The Best of Carrie-Inspired Name Necklaces
If you are looking to channel your inner Carrie while keeping up with modern trends, here are our picks for what designs your name necklace could be. Take a look!
Classic Gold Name Necklace
Classic will always be iconic, and never a wrong choice. This is an absolute winner for those looking for a timeless piece. Those who say, "Diamonds are a girl’s best friend”, forget to tell you about what Gold can do for a woman! Gold never goes out of style and is subtly gorgeous. A classic real gold personalised necklace is perfect for every occasion, starting from a coffee run to an anniversary dinner.
Minimalist Name Necklace
Less is the new “more”. If you are one of those who agree with that statement, then minimalist name necklaces are for you! This is for a subtle approach to elegance and reflecting your identity. Imagine wearing a dainty chain, small letters, and a classy sleek design. And the best part is? If you aren’t feeling minimalist today, you can go extra by layering it with other neckpieces.
Custom Script Name Necklace
If you look carefully at Carrie’s necklace, you will see a beautiful script-style font. If that’s the vibe you want for telling your story, a custom script necklace would be perfect to channel that inner Carrie in you. It’s equally chic and timeless.

Embracing Nicknames or Initials

Layering

Choosing The Perfect Name Necklace
Your work isn’t done by just deciding the name to put in the necklace. Today’s name necklaces come with many customisation options and it’s important to know which to go with, that will reflect your identity well.
Font: Chunky modern font will give you a bold and eye-catching neckpiece. On the other hand, a thin cursive font will give a sophisticated and romantic feel.
Material: A personalised gold pendant is always a great investment because it’s durable and won’t tarnish. But don’t be afraid of experimenting and mixing metals!
Chain Length: Short chains give off a dainty, elegant vibe. Longer chains are great for layering or creating a more casual, relaxed look.
Customisation Options: One of the best things about name necklaces is that they’re customizable. Argent & Asher offers a range of customization options, from different fonts to gemstones, so you can create a necklace that feels truly personal.
