My Name Necklace (Repost)

If you are a fan of "Sex And The City", a jewellery fanatic looking for a one-design-fits-all-occasions necklace, or hunting for a customized name necklace company, you will probably be interested in this popular  My Name Necklace online shop. I had recently made my purchase from this company and am HOPELESSLY IN LOVE WITH IT!! ❤

The service I received was unbelievably fast, considering it was custom-made and sent out from Israel, where the company belongs. I made my purchase on 3 Nov, 3.45am in the morning, and received my UPS package on 9 Nov noon! That's just a total of 6 days, including a 2 days weekend! Tell me about efficiency for customized delicate item!! I was told on their website to allow an 18 days of waiting period for normal mail service, BUT 6 days??!! I feel completely pampered!! (,◕ω◕,)

I ordered a customized 14kt solid gold "Carrie" style double thickness (0.8mm) plate name necklace, attached with an adult length 18 inch (45cm) long box chain, and Paypal-ed a total of SGD251.10 after a 10% discount code on top of the year end festive sale price SGD279 (U.P. SGD299). That is a SGD47.90 saving! I am a fan of high quality product and I do not fancy easily tarnished jewellery, so an affordable 14kt solid gold in this time of rising gold price is definitely going into my shopping cart. Default international shipping fee is FREE too! For urgent shipping, top up SGD19.95. To sum, I am really madly in love with my new extremely~extremely beautifully crafted name necklace so much, I am NOT going to take it off!

For a SGD251.10, I am receiving much more than what I can possibly asked for. The company welcomes special requests for your customize pieces if you have any. 

It is pretty hard to illustrate how satisfied I am with my name necklace in text. To make my review much easier and beneficial, I decided to attach a library of my crafted name necklace (large size, high quality) photos instead, tagged with captions. Bigger displays of my photos are avail if you right click on my photo and select "view image". Hope you will find them helpful.

Product Details :

I made a special request on the next day to have my chain link rings' openings soldered for added security. I am intending to wear my necklace to shower and sleep, so having maximum secured attachment for the entire piece is very important to me. The customer service from My Name Necklace replied me 2 days later to apologize that they do not provide solder service. But guess what?? The chain link rings that came were crafted in a securely overlapped 'key chain ring' style, they do not need soldering at all to further secure them! Smart! I had never received a piece of solid gold jewellery with link rings done this way. Highly appreciate My Name Necklace for their generosity in willing to use more 14kt solid gold wires to deliver their VERY BEST!

See the overlapped 'key chain ring' looking link rings?

The box chain comes with a spring clasp instead of a lobster clasp. Although I prefer the sturdy look of lobster clasp, spring clasp provides a more secure closure. It closes without leaving any gap as one thinner end enters deep into the hole of the other end, unlike lobster clasp's.

The chain was separately made from Italy, and came stamped with a tiny but visible "14KT ITALY" label.

At the back of my pendant, another tiny "14KT" marking was stamped on the solid gold for quality assurance.

FYI. The back of the pendant has the same brilliant finishing as the front. (,◕ω◕,)

Moving on to the measurements.

My 6 letters long name pendant measures 3.5cm width length, 1cm tall for the higher letters, 0.5cm tall for the lower letters, and 0.8mm general thickness.

Since I purchased My Name Necklace on the international company's Singapore site, I shall then compare it against the thickness of our Singapore SGD1 gold coin for your familiar reference.

Although the "double" thickness is labelled 0.8mm on their website, it is not a consistent 0.8mm entirely. Due to craftsmanship, the pendant plate thickness ranges from 0.5mm to 1mm. 0.8mm is its general thickness.

Despite how faint it may look on photo and in actual, it is not razor thin and will not cut your skin like a knife. The finishing on the edges are smoothly filed without a dangerous sharp corner, making it safe for children as well. It is not flimsy or easily bendable under normal handling.

Minor Dislikes :

Minor dislikes go to the chain. 

I purchased an adult 18 inches (45 cm) chain but received a 16 inches (40cm) piece instead.

Also, the positions of the spring clasp (hook) that usually falls on the right hand of the wearer, and the ring end (eye) on the left were switched.

Lastly, I find the chain a tad thin, but not the thinnest box chain I had come across though. But since box chains are rather strong, this should be tough enough for everyday wear.

Despite the 3 minor dislikes mentioned, they are not considered damages, hence not a bother to me.

ME!!! IN MY DARLING RAISIN NAME NECKLACE!!!! ❤

Advise :

Please do not get anything less than double thickness even if your name is short. The normal default thickness given is 0.4mm, and that is fragile razor thin, cuts, and bends/breaks pretty effortlessly. If you are unaware of this fact, you might end up getting frustrated with your purchase. The thickest metal plate posted on the site is 1.2mm for sterling silver and yellow gold plated sterling silver categories. If you want it in 1.2mm thickness solid gold plate, please make special request to My Name Necklace personally to check if they are able to deliver. Also, if your name is long, do note that you are actually getting more metal product, which makes it even more value worth without topping up your payment. So do try going for slightly longer names instead of stopping at just a few. I personally find longer names that uses more letters name necklaces much more appealing than shorter ones.

My Name Necklace websites come customized in a few different countries' URLs extension codes (eg. .sg, .co.uk, .com.au, www.collanaconnome.com, www.mijnnaamketting.nl, etc). They display different countries' currencies for their overseas customers' shopping convenience. How thoughtful of them again. All these belong to one same company and does not mean that the pieces are made and shipped from those countries. They all get crafted and shipped out from Israel only. The international site for My Name Necklace is www.mynamenecklace.com.
