Nameplate necklaces aren’t anything new. With rich history within the Latino and Black communities, they’ve been an integral part of cultural representation for quite some time. I’ve been wearing my own version since just about birth, when I had a personalized gold bracelet strung around my wrist. Today, name-donning jewelry extends beyond cultural representation and into self-expression for all — and Jennifer Lopez is showing us how to do it right.

Lopez has been wearing personalized jewelry for what seems like forever. But most recently, she’s been obsessed with her gold ‘Jennifer’ necklace. For the Fourth of July, she paired the delicate necklace with a peach-colored swimsuit, having worn the exact same piece just the day before and back in 2021. Before this block lettering version, she was all about nameplate necklaces in a cursive font, wearing the pretty writing alongside intentional layering. As another iteration, she proudly displayed her husband Ben Affleck’s name around her neck this time last year.

Baublebar Pavé Custom Nameplate Necklace

$198

If you want to go full J.Lo, then this Baublebar Pavé Custom Nameplate Necklace is for you. The uppercase block font sits similar to Lopez’s, while small gems add a bit of sparkle to your look. Unlike the previous options, this necklace is made of 18-karat gold-plated sterling silver or sterling silver metal, depending on your color preference. Even better? Full customization is available right at your fingertips.

If you want to try the customized look but don’t want to display your full name, then consider initial jewelry. Hailey Bieber and Zendaya have been spotted wearing rings and earrings with just letters, and there are tons of similar options to try out for yourself.
