Her name is cut in clean, modern Greek letters, accent included, from one solid piece of sterling silver and polished to a bright shine. A gift she'll wear long after the name day wishes — Χρόνια Πολλά — are over.

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.)

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: Type her name in Greek letters in the personalization box — copy and paste works. If you only know the English spelling, write it in English and add "please translate"; we'll set it in Greek and confirm the spelling with you by email before production. Then choose color, length and chain style.

Order in time for the name day: Each piece is made to order in 1–3 business days and ships in 2–5 business days within the US. For popular name days — Ελένη and Κωνσταντίνα (May 21), Μαρία (Aug 15), Αικατερίνη (Nov 25), Άννα (Dec 9) — order at least 10 days ahead, or choose Express shipping.

Frequently asked questions

What is a name day?
In Greek Orthodox tradition, a name day (γιορτή) is the feast day of the saint someone is named after. It's often celebrated like a second birthday, with family, wishes and gifts.

Will it arrive before her name day?
Allow 1–3 business days for production plus 2–5 business days of US shipping. Ordering 10 days ahead is safest; Express shipping is available for last-minute gifts.

Can I order if I don't write Greek?
Yes. Write the name in English with "please translate" — we'll set it in Greek letters and confirm the spelling with you before we make it.

Are accent marks included?
Yes — the τόνος (έ, ά, ό) is cut exactly as the name is spelled.

Is it a good gift from a godmother (νονά)?
It's one of the most popular name day gifts from a godmother to her goddaughter — personal, lasting and wearable from the teen years onward.

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.
