Name Necklace Trends 2025: What’s Hot This Year

People in the UK have been wearing name necklaces for years now, and it is no different in 2025. With mass-produced jewellery taking over every personal jewellery collection, people want to wear something that has meaning, and nothing gets that job done better than a custom name necklace.

In 2025, more customisation and styles will be available in name necklaces. There are different trends you can explore this year to make this personalised jewellery even more yours. From fonts that are bold to pieces that look straight out of nature, personalised gold name necklaces cater to all the different styles and meanings out there. Here are nine dynamic trends.

Bold and Custom Fonts

Nowadays, flamboyant designs are the go-to for reflecting a confident personality. Large, pronounced lettering can make even the simplest of names striking. Check out this Old English Diamond Name Necklace. 

If you want something more sophisticated, you can opt for cursive and script fonts, which are so elegant and give you a flowy, romantic vibe. Check out this Script Gold Name Necklace. 

It doesn’t end there. You can also go for something chic: geometric block letters. Do you like clean lines and love your jewellery to have a contemporary edge? Geometric letters are definitely for you, it’s the right amount of subtle and bold!

Choosing a font that’s different from the regular ones allows you to personalise your name necklace even more. It gives you the freedom to truly express yourself! This way, your name necklace becomes a wearable work of art.

Multi-Layered Name Necklaces

Take different lengths, materials, and designs, and you are on your way to creating a stacked, layered, personalised look with your customised name necklace.

Perhaps you could pick a personalised name necklace that has your name in beautiful cursive. Combine it with an initial necklace on a chunkier gold chain. Maybe add a bead necklace or maybe even a geometric piece? The options are endless!

You can even mix names of your family members, partners, or words that mean something to you.

If you want to become a pro at layering, it’s important to understand the different types of chains out there. Read our article 7 Different Styles of Gold Chains and How to Wear Them!

Birthstones and Gemstone Additions

In 2025, personalisation has stepped up a notch, because adding birthstones and other gemstones to your gold necklace with a name? You have achieved a whole new level of meaning and style to a piece that’s already special! Now it’s not just your name in a lovely script, there’s a splash of colour and a personal touch.

Birthstones are getting very popular. Especially people who like their birthdays and zodiacs are leaning into this trend of name necklace with birthstones. This trend is also great if you want to give someone a present on their birthday, think a fiery ruby for someone born in July, or a calm, deep blue sapphire for a September birthday.

You can also go beyond birthstones and try other gems like diamonds, amethysts, etc. They can be set into the name itself, like a beautiful diamond name necklace, or just hang them like a pretty little charm. The fine details on your necklace will shine through as the stones catch the light beautifully.  

Minimalist and Delicate Styles

Yes, bold designs are amazing, but sometimes less is more! For those days, like running an errand or a really busy day, you need minimalist jewellery that makes you feel pretty, like yourself, without going overboard.

Minimalist and delicate gold name necklaces usually have a smaller nameplate, and they come with a small, fine chain. It has a very understated style, and you can wear it with jeans and a tee, but even with a dress as well.

The trend fits nicely with the move towards effortless, no-fuss fashion.

Nature-Inspired and Symbolic Elements

Don’t you just love all the little elements of nature? There’s something so charming about leaves, flowers, and animals, especially the cute tiny ones. And when they show up in jewellery, especially name necklaces, it just works, doesn’t it?

Especially people who love nature would enjoy a touch of it on their personalised name necklaces; it adds another layer of personalisation. Suppose a beautiful leaf is wrapping around your name necklace, or maybe a flower charm sitting close to your heart, along with beautiful script letters. Or maybe tiny birds or butterflies? They look adorable, but also say something about who you are, your spirit, and your vibe.

This trend isn’t about the looks (though if we are being honest, we know it looks stunning!). It’s about expressing yourself in a way that’s serene and meaningful.

Vintage and Retro-Inspired Name Necklaces

People are loving the throwback feel, designs that look like they’ve stepped right out of the 70s, 80s, or 90s. That includes chunky disco-style lettering but also old-school romantic, delicate scripts. 

You’ll see gold and mixed metals, with craftsmanship that’s up to date, but the style? Pure nostalgia. If you think about it in a poetic way, it’s like wearing a memory, but it still fits the current times. These pieces are a nice way to tip your hat to the past.

Celebrity Influence on Name Necklace Trends

Ever since Carrie Bradshaw wore that iconic gold name necklace in Sex and the City, personalised jewellery has been in high demand.

Nowadays, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and Reese Witherspoon have all been spotted wearing their versions, each putting their spin on the trend.

Take Rihanna, for example. She’s never been one to shy away from a bold look, and her blocky “FENTY” chains have helped bring statement name jewellery back into the spotlight.

And with social media constantly serving up celebrity style inspo, it’s no surprise so many of us are jumping on board.
