Almost Married/Engaged/Married
The Broken Heart Engraved Pendant (2 pieces that join together) is one of the most popular items for couples. It’s a heart that’s divided into two parts, with a name engraved on each. When put together, it forms a heart. When worn apart (the necklace comes with two pieces), it looks like a sleek, modern piece of customized jewelry.

Matching monogram necklaces is also a fun idea for solid couples or initial necklaces with both initials together or a double name necklace. If you’re living in the southern US, you know that monograms are all the rage. Be a stylish family with matching monograms! And you can even get monogram earrings.
But let’s be serious here, when you get something with your names together, it’s a serious statement. If you’re going to buy a gift like this, be sure you’re in a solid position with your partner.
And here’s a thought – if you’re engaged and changing your last name, this might not be the time to get a monogram or initial necklace.
Just Dating
If you’ve been dating someone a while, the broken heart engraved pendant could be good along with a few other options. However, if you’re in a long-term dating relationship, a broken heart necklace might seem a bit too “soon.”
For those “just dating” a name necklace with your partner’s name might be a gift with less pressure to say, “I love you.” Name necklaces with hearts are popular for this. You can say I care about you, without coming on too strong. From men to women the heart motif is the most popular, but also cupid, or just a classic name necklace.
When women give men name necklaces, a lot of times it’s a sports name necklace or an Old English name necklace, sometimes with a nickname.

Just Met You
Oh my, ladies and gents, if you just met someone a name necklace is not a good gift! It’s a serious gift for people who have a relationship, not a light gift to give someone you just met. That said, an understated gift like an initial pendant or monogram earrings can let you give a customized gift without coming on too strong. The initial pendant is a favorite choice for a getting to know your gift.
Whether you’re married for years or just met your Valentine’s a name necklace is a gift that has been popular over the past 20 years. You don’t want to be THAT girl/guy who gives the gift that’s WAY TOO MUCH. This Valentine’s Day if you’re going to give a custom gift, choose wisely and make sure you are sending the right message to your Valentine.
