Jewelry can take your outfits to another level, adding some sparkle that you can personalize to fit your mood and activity. Trends like toe rings and belly chains come and go, and typically it’s the basic chains or pearls that are always considered fashionable, but there are some statement pieces that never go out of style — including nameplate necklaces.
The classic jewelry trend has maintained its spot within the fashion realm for decades now and has no plans of fading anytime soon. Celebrities have long been fans of the nameplate necklace, proving that the look still dominates accessories today. Just look at Ice Spice’s iconic princess necklace, seen throughout her Instagram feed and even in a partnership with Dunkin Donuts.
Shows like Sex and the City also spotlight the necklace, which can be seen on Sarah Jessica Parker’s character, Carrie.
Other stars including Jennifer Lopez, Halsey, Beyonce, Rihanna, Adele and Madonna (just to name a few), have also been spotted sporting a nameplate necklace, proving that time has no meaning when it comes to the trend.
