Sentimentality

These vertical bar necklaces can’t help but lend the memory to ‘dog tags’. That may seem like a huge stretch of the imagination. However, folks don’t tend to realize that dog tags were and are given to those who mean something to the military partners who wear them; e.g. military men would give them to their girlfriends. These bar necklaces are similar in the sense, particularly the vertical bar necklaces which bear a striking physical resemblance, not to mention the physical trait of having coordinates placed on them. Although, dog tags probably aren't that detailed in engravings/inscriptions.

It seems all glitz and glamour in the world of fashion as to why we wear the things that we wear, and how we get caught up in the celebrity status to see if they're wearing them too is a huge facade. But what if these bar necklaces were to hold much more significant meaning than just ‘the new trend’? What if they came to be held in (a much smaller, but of course) similar accord as dog tags are to those we love and care about. We could hold these as a much more important memento of our personal history and something that we could pass on to those that mean something to us. That very well may be why the celebrities and everyday folks are clinging to the vertical bar necklaces with the coordinates on them. They may have the same general idea in sentimental power.

Bar necklaces could be used in the same vein as letterman's jackets were used in high school, or name bracelets were used in middle schools, or class rings throughout formal education. Instead of this cold, technologically dependent, digital world of dating, we could actually go back to ‘courting’. Passing the bar necklaces on to the girls/boys that you may have an interest in. Even husbands and wives could share in the magic of making and/or exchanging 'bar necklaces' with each other; so they always feel as though they’re together, even when they need to be apart. The bar necklaces allow for so much sentimentality; more so than just about any other fashion trend out there.

The same could be true if it served as just a friendship-type bar necklace. Friends are so vitally important in the world as it is today with our horribly hectic work schedules, and straying from the families that we used to know. We hold on to the few friends that we make as the only real ‘family’ that we have when we’ve moved far from what we consider to be home. Engraving bar necklaces to pass on to a friend just to let them know how special they are to you is the perfect gift when you aren’t quite sure just how to verbalize it. It would be almost the same idea as a friendship ring in a sense.

The family that you left back home could benefit from some of the bar necklaces you purchase from us as well. It would be special to send one to maybe a mother with the coordinates of your birth (on top or on the bottom), and then the gemstones for you (and possibly your siblings) birth months anywhere on the piece. This would give her something to hold onto when she misses you so terribly, and she could send a custom made bar necklace back - one that will carry information that you hold dear.

We hold the people in our lives in our hearts, but rarely do we get to see or speak to many of them because our lives are so jam packed with things to do. These bar necklaces are a super simplistic way of taking a moment and reaching out to let them know we’re still here and we still care. It’s not often that a really cool product comes out that lends itself to presenting such an authentic emotional opportunity to the masses. Sure, there’s greeting cards and gifts, but the bar necklace is one of the coolest and prettiest/incredible gifts for showing you care that we offer.
