baby monogramming (jewelry, that is. not the actual baby.)

my dear friend emma and her husband tom recently welcomed super cute baby grant to their family. i was honored when emma asked me for ideas for a grant-inspired necklace to wear close to her heart. i came across some really nice items in a range of styles so decided to share with you guys, too. after all, you can have any of them monogrammed with whatever your heart desires!

below: this bar necklace from annekiel's etsy shop can be custom engraved for $86. i love how tiny it is - almost like it's your little secret.

below: danielle stevens does a great mongrammed pendant for $78. if you buy through couturecandy.com, first-time buyers get 15% off (promo code "firsttime"). i received one as a gift and i wear it ALL the time.

below: leave it to tiffany to create a classic. i've loved these elsa peretti letter pendants forevs. $165.



below: and if you really want to make a statement, this one is pretty kick ass. jennifer zeuner's Z10 3-initial pendant retails for $242 and was just featured in instyle mag. i haven't found a coupon code but i'll keep looking. it's kinda a less trendtastic nameplate ala carrie bradshaw.
