Japanese Name Necklace | Personalized Kanji Nameplate in Sterling Silver & 14K Gold Vermeil

Your Japanese name in kanji — every character chosen for its meaning.

The UXV Japanese Name Necklace turns your kanji name into a personalized nameplate. Japanese names are written with characters picked for their meaning: 花子 (Hanako) means “flower child,” 真珠 (Shinju) means “pearl,” 蓮 (Ren) means “lotus.” Each kanji is cut from one solid piece of sterling silver, with every stroke connected so it stays crisp and strong, then polished to a bright shine — a quiet, everyday way to carry your name and your roots.

Real materials — never brass.

Built on a solid 925 sterling silver core. Choose sterling silver, or 14K gold vermeil — a thick layer of real 14K gold over that same sterling silver, not the cheap brass plating that turns skin green. Hypoallergenic and made for everyday wear. (Solid 14K gold — coming soon.)

Meaningful kanji ideas: 愛 Ai (love) · 希望 Kibō (hope) · 花 Hana (flower) · 桜 Sakura (cherry blossom) · 光 Hikari (light) · 夢 Yume (dream) · 力 Chikara (strength). One character makes a small, minimalist pendant; two or three read as a name.

Choose your chain: Cable (delicate and classic), Figaro (Italian-inspired link), Box (sleek and sturdy), Curb (bold, flat links) or Paperclip (modern and trend-forward). Each chain has its own fixed price. See the chain and length guides in the photos — 16" and 18" are our most popular lengths.

How to personalize: Paste your kanji exactly as you want them in the personalization box. Many names can be written with different kanji, so please copy the characters from your own name or a trusted source — we cut every stroke exactly as written.

Made to order & gift-ready — handcrafted just for her, shipped from the USA, delivered in a UXV gift box. A meaningful birthday, graduation or Mother's Day gift for a Japanese or Japanese-American daughter, mom or friend — or for anyone who loves Japan and wants a word that means something to her.

Shipping & returns: Processing 1–3 business days · Shipping 2–5 business days (US) · Free US shipping, no minimum · Express $30. Because each piece is personalized, items can't be returned unless they arrive damaged or defective — and we'll always make it right.

Frequently asked questions

Why do I need to send my exact kanji?
Japanese names that sound the same can be written with different kanji — “Yuki” can be 雪 (snow), 幸 (happiness) or 由紀. Sending your own characters makes sure the necklace shows your real name and meaning.

Can I order a single kanji instead of a name?
Yes — one meaningful character like 愛 (love) or 夢 (dream) makes a beautiful minimalist necklace.

How many characters can I add?
Up to 4 kanji. Most Japanese given names are 1–3 characters, which gives the cleanest look.

Will detailed kanji stay readable?
Yes — every stroke is connected inside the nameplate, so even detailed characters stay crisp and strong.

What is gold vermeil, and is it better than gold-plated?
Gold vermeil is a thick layer of real 14K gold over solid 925 sterling silver. Gold-plated jewelry usually has a much thinner layer over brass or other base metals, so vermeil lasts longer and is kinder to sensitive skin.

Will it tarnish?
Sterling silver and gold vermeil are made to last. Keep it away from perfume, chlorine and harsh chemicals, take it off before swimming, and store it dry.

How long does delivery take?
Each necklace is made to order in 1–3 business days, then ships in 2–5 business days within the US. Express shipping is available.
