More and more, I see Koreans walking around with these necklaces with their names on them and now I think it's a good idea for a gift.

I wonder if anyone knows somewhere I can go to order one and then pick it up later.

I'd rather avoid ordering one from the internet if possible due to having no credit card and having mail and/or boss trust issues.

.... don't women usually make handmade name necklaces in craft class or something?


Handmade necklaces were popular during my high school years... There were even those necklaces with people's names written on grains of rice.

They are available in Namdaemun, look around in the accessories areas. There is also a small jeweler near the KFC in Itaewon who can make them. I think it would be cool to have someone's name transliterated into Korean and make it. Could suck though depending on how well it translates. Not that they'll ever know! Might also be better for longer names, as one Korean character isn't likely to make a very pretty necklace.

I think most jewelry shops will make them nowadays.

I like them. They make every girl look like a racing girl.

Wow, those are like the paradigm of good style.

I got mine in Jong-no. As you walk out of the main drag of Insadong and come to the big intersection (Tapgol Park with the pagoda on the left) turn right. I think there's a big Giordano store on the corner but I may be wrong. That entire street is lined with jewellery stores and a whole lot of them offer the necklaces. I don't remember where exactly I got mine because those stores all look the same and I didn't take down the name.

Hope this helps.

I had mine made at the gold jewelry counter at EMart about 5 years ago. It cost around W200 000 because I chose a thicker neck chain and the letters are thicker. I suggest you try EMart in your area.

Almost any jeweler is correct. If they can't make it, they'll bring it in.

I paid 180,000 2 years ago for white gold.
