Name Choker in Gold Vermeil

The name necklace became a very popular jewelry piece way back in the 90s thanks to the character that we all love, Carrie Bradshaw from Sex & the City. Beautiful name necklaces can have significant sentimental value and memories attached to them, or they can be fun pieces to add to any outfit. Here are 8 celebs still rocking these stylish and impactful name necklaces in 2023.

1. Adele

English singer and songwriter Adele has been rocking her classic look since she made her red carpet debut in 2008. From her signature cat-eye look, bold red lips, and those gorgeous little black dresses that were a staple in any 90s wardrobe, Adele has been making heads turn with her unique style. She was first seen way back in 2013 wearing a new gold necklace that spelled out the name "Angelo," after her newborn son.
