When I saw Coleen Rooney’s necklace in the I’m a Celeb jungle, I just knew HELLO! readers would love it. If that’s the case with you, I have some good news and I have some bad news.
I’ll start with the bad. Coleen’s necklace isn’t cheap. In fact, the mum-of-four’s multiple name necklace she wears often on her Instagram account is bespoke - and cost £1,500 from a brand called Say It With. The good news is, there are plenty of necklaces that are similar for a fraction of the cost.

With Valentine's Day coming up, this could make a really sweet gift for someone you love. Be warned though, as with all personalised jewellery, you may need to wait. And these necklaces tend to be non-refundable due to the bespoke nature of the piece.
I’ve found a great alternative to 38-year-old Coleen’s multiple name necklace on Abbott Lyon - this one is also discounted by the way in the brand’s winter sale. Use code LOVE15 at checkout for 15% off.
You can have up to three names and there are three different chain lengths, too. The 16-18inch chain is the most popular according to the retailer.

I’ve looked through the reviews so you don’t have to, and customers appear to be thrilled. One happy shopper wrote: “I have just received my order and it is absolutely beautiful and already one of my favourite pieces. I will not be taking this off and to top it all off the customer service has been great. I really appreciate the effort and care that was taken in making this.”
Another verified customer wrote: “Absolutely love my chain, got my boys names on it have not taken it off since I got it and getting so many compliments.”
It’s not the only store you can buy one of these necklaces from, I’ve found one on NotOnTheHighStreet.com and you get the addition of a cute little heart. You can choose up to four names, with a choice of six different fonts.
