Carrie Bradshaw’s name necklace on Sex and The City was practically a character in its own right along with Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda, and with the SATC reboot Just Like That about to air its third season on Max next week (and yes, with John Corbett, aka Aidan will be joining again), there's still time to earn your fan rights by buying your own personalized name necklace. Sarah Jessica Parker would be proud.
It made a cameo in the third episode of And Just Like That season 2, when a would-be thief tries to take it from Carrie while she's enjoying a night out with Seema at a pop-up jewelry event of her cool-girl neighbour, Lisette.
And Sarah Jessica Parker spoke to her fans on Instagram, dedicating a post to her namesake necklace. See, even she's not over the affordable accessory.
© InstagramMarking the show's incredible 25 years, she captioned her post: "It’s our silver anniversary but the memories will always be gold. X, SJ."
Carrie’s necklace was a simple gold plated pendant, rumoured to have cost around $100, which she expertly paired with luxe jewels and designer clothing, but we’ve found some even more affordable versions of the iconic pendant.
How we chose the best nameplate necklaces
As a self-confessed Sex And The City superfan, I'm pretty well versed to find the best nameplate necklaces - if there's a good one, I'll have found it! Here's what else I considered:
- Personalization: You might want one that says Carrie, but most of us want one we can personalize! All of the necklaces I've listed have this option, including not just the name, but extra options too from the metal color to the font.
- Metal: I've included gold, silver and rose gold options.
- Price: Carrie considered her nameplate necklace 'priceless', but I've found options from both affordable brands, independent boutiques and sellers plus designer too.
Even though Carrie swapped her nameplate necklace for a New York state necklace in And Just Like That season 1, it clearly didn't make the same impact - hence the nameplate necklace's return for season 2 and fingers crossed for season 3. We're still obsessed with the original SATC must-have - and we've found some incredible lookalikes on the high street for your own Carrie moment.
