You might have been one of the little tots on the playground back in the day, sporting the latest craze in sneakers. And around your wrist, you might have had a little glint whenever you moved your hand. Or even a flashing of gold or silver across your neck that you might have toyed with in curiosity. As a child, nothing could be considered more precious than getting a little piece of jewelry with your name on it. When you’re young, your name is still so new to you. The meaning behind it, the spelling, and the subtle curves of the letters when you wrote it on paper were still fascinating. Then, to have your name in precious metal was miraculous. To wear your name proudly and shining on yourself was an honor. Necklaces and name rings alike, it was a youngsters dream come true.
And yet, some people lose that childlike wonder for his or her name as they grow older. A person can grow so accustomed to writing their name on essay after essay, or signing endless credit card bills, that the wonder and mystery of a person’s name is gone. Which is a shame, since a name is so precious. The meaning and origin behind a name can hold such power over the person you become, it seems disastrous to lose sight of your name’s importance. Some people may find that name jewelry appeals more to children. But as an adult, it could be even more valuable. The longer you spend with your name, the most it becomes a part of you. A tasteful necklace or ring with your name engraved upon it can only add to your self-being and growth.
Not that such jewelry is rare in more adult settings. If you already have a special piece of jewelry, why not have your name engraved upon it? Giving someone jewelry with your name on it is also a great gift idea. Jewelry gifts can be daunting to pick out when selections are so wide and varied. But getting someone you love a piece of jewelry with their name on it makes it all the more personal and thoughtful.
So whether or not you were one of the kids sporting jewelry with your name on it as a kid, look to the present. It’s never too late to embrace your inner love for your name.
