Do you remember Carrie’s personalized necklace in Sex and the City? Yeah, we do, too. It was so chic and perfect that we all wanted one for ourselves. These days, monograms have upped their game. You can still probably find the classic “Carrie” necklace somewhere, but the monograms of today are way cooler than those of the ‘00s. These are some of our favorite personalized necklaces, and where to find ‘em for yourself!
1. Morse Code
Imagine if you had to use Morse code to text… sounds terrible, right? Fortunately, the only dots and dashes you’ll ever have to use are in this adorable bar necklace. Spell out your first name or initials and choose a pretty color to set them in!

2. Geographical Coordinates
Instead of a bracelet engraved with your name, how about the geographical coordinates of your hometown or a different meaningful location? We’re obsessed this gold bangle—you can personalize it however you want! Choose the metal, coordinates you want, engraving, and even if you want to add gemstones! It’s like the Veuve Clicquot of bangles.
