What Is a Gold Plated Name Necklace?
A gold plated name necklace is a pendant necklace in which a name is cut or shaped into the pendant and finished with a layer of gold over a base metal such as brass. It looks like gold jewellery, costs far less than solid gold, and is personalised with any name you choose.

What to Check Before Buying a Name Necklace Online
- Base metal. Brass is durable and holds plating well.
- Gold finish. A 24k gold finish gives a rich, warm colour.
- Chain length. An adjustable 16–18 inch chain sits at the collarbone and suits most necklines.
- Character limit. Shorter names look cleaner and are easier to read.
- Warranty. An anti-tarnish warranty shows the brand stands behind the plating.
- Payment and returns. Check for Cash on Delivery and read the return policy, since custom pieces usually can't be returned unless there's a defect.

- Store it in a dry place, separate from other jewellery.
- Clean it gently with a soft cloth.

- Sisters and best friends: a name or nickname.
- Yourself: a daily reminder of your own story.
