The best thing about personalized jewelry is it never goes out of style. The pieces can be cherished for decades, and who doesn't love bit of legacy in her jewelry box? Below see what customizable finds our editors have added to their collections recently. Whether you're looking for a gift or to treat yourself, these accessories don't disappoint — and won't break the bank. (They also will spark a lot of "OMG, where did you get that!?" from your friends.) Brittany Talarico, Style and Beauty Director: Every time I get a new piece of jewelry, my four-year-old daughter Gracie asks, "That's going to be for me one day, right mom?" (Smart girl!) I actually got her a jewelry box for her birthday last month so she can start building out her own collection. Next up is a trip to our local Pandora store so I can get my new tag pendant necklace engraved with both of my kids' names, and she can pick out her first charm for a charm bracelet. (My money's on thissparkly blue butterfly.) $230 at us.pandora.net Jackie Fields, Deputy Beauty Director:My whole vibe is customized. No, really, I never have on fewer than a couple of pieces, whether they be clothing or accessories, that were crafted specifically for me. But ever since I got my dog Bowie, my focus has shifted from outfitting myself in monogram kicks and "Jackie" nameplates to creating items with his name on them, too. And now, I've got my eyes on this engravable chain-link, gold-plated bracelet that allows enough characters for me to cap my collection with a piece that reads "Jackie + Bowie 4 Eva." $130 at gorjana.com Michelle Lee, Editorial Assistant:Like many editors who write about celebrity fashion day in and day out, I often find myself recreating many of the looks I see. For example, Kim Kardashian recently rocked adiamond anklet, which inspired me to take my foot jewelry to the next level with this dainty chain. This one is perfect for anyone looking for customization without going as far as initials or nameplates — birthstones add a meaningful touch to any look while maximizing sparkle. $59 at millrockeast.com Karli Bendlin, Director of Content Strategy:Call it the Hailey Bieber effect, but ever since the Rhode founder started wearing her signature "B" (for Bieber, of course) pendant, I've been seeing initial necklaces all over my feed. While her custom Alex Moss sparkler might be out of my price range, this initial piece from Astrid & Miyu gives me the same effect for way less. I love how the dainty chain contrasts the bubble "K," so it makes a statement without overwhelming the rest of my necklace stack. $210 at us.astridandmiyu.com Alex Apatoff, Managing Editor, Special Integrated Projects:Doing this job for as long as I have, it takesa lotfor me to be influenced by something I see on a celebrity (otherwise I'd be completely broke). But when I sawJenny Slate wearing this charming Cupid-inspired spinner necklace— which is delicate and classic, butjusteccentric enough that you know you're not likely to see clones of it on everyone in town — I immediately sent the link to my husband ahead of the holidays. It arrived under the tree, thoughtfully engraved. But not with my children's names! Instead, he chose a nod tomy longtime social handle(née AIM screen name): Nice on one side and Fun on the other. It makes me laugh whenever I pull it out of the velvet bag! $84 at catbirdnyc.com Hedy Phillips, Senior Style News Editor:I can confidently say that I will put my name on everything — it's the beauty of having a unique name that I absolutely love. But having a unique name means that everything has to be customized. I'm not finding my name on those keychains at the gas station on a road trip or on a teddy bear at the boardwalk. Fortunately, places like Baublebar make beautiful nameplate necklaces (and a whole slew of other personalized pieces) so that I never have to worry about trying to find "Hedy" pieces at the store. My latest customized piece from the brand, however, was a gift from my mom, dedicated to my cat after he died, and I wear it every day. $182 at Baublebar Andrea Lavinthal, Executive Director, Special Integrated Projects:Ever since I had my kids (the first in 2016, the second in 2019), I've acquired half a dozen necklaces that have some combination of my initials and theirs. And while these pieces are meaningful, I sometimes feel like my neck looks like alphabet soup. So I've paused on buying anything with a letter and have moved onto personalized charms. I recently discovered the brandAweand I am absolutely obsessed with their designs including this necklace which features multiple charm links and can be worn as a traditional necklace or as a lariat with a drop. And with so manygorgeous charmsto choose from, there are infinite ways to customize this piece. $755 at aweinspired.com Ana Calderone, Senior Editor, Special Integrated Projects:Jennifer Fisher was the first piece of designer jewelry I invested in and I've never regretted it. I've worn this necklace nearly every day for the last seven years. Fisher's gothic letters are so iconicallyherwithout requiring a flashy label. It's just like, "if you know you know." They come in a variety of sizes — or studded with diamonds if youreallywant to splurge — so you can layer different initials of your loved ones. I hope to add additional charms for my kids one day. $450 at jenniferfisher.com Starr Bowenbank, Style News Editor: Nameplate necklaces, rings, and bracelets wereallthe rage in my neighborhood when I was growing up, so as an adult, I began leaning towards more unconventional and subtle ways to personalize my jewelry. This Keary & James custom calendar charm definitely checks those boxes for me, and since I'm a sucker for birthstones and finding way to honor my loved ones, the charm is perfect. In addition to selecting the month of the calendar, I also placed multiple stones — aside from my usual sapphire — across the calendar to represent different people or important dates in my life. $72 at kearyandjames.com Read the original article onPeople
