Use your Name to Spread the Love with Memi’s Name Necklace

There is nothing better than a new piece of jewellery. Whether it came from a loved one, a close friend, or a decision to give yourself some self-love. No matter how you got it, there is always a story behind every jewellery item. The Memi name necklace is all about embracing your own individual story, but also the story of spreading the love to the Ladies of Love organisation.

Memi:

Despite there being 7.8 billion people upon this planet; there is no one else like you. You are a one of a kind, and Memi as a brand aims to celebrate your spectacular individuality. Through creating jewellery of the highest standard and made from genuine diamonds, colourful Swarovski crystals, and precious metals, Memi provides you with beautiful pieces to express your personality, authenticity, and ultimately your life story.

What is in a Name?

When you meet someone new, the first thing you do is introduce yourself by name. Your name is the initial identifying factor of your entire being, and therefore it holds significance and value. Your name is something that should be embraced and pronounced with confidence and pride.

Your name is important, but so are other people’s names. Be considerate of people’s names when you are pronouncing or spelling them. We live in a country that has many different cultures and traditions, and with that comes a horde of names. For many people, their name is a symbol of who they are. Therefore, even if you are unfamiliar with the name, it is important to make a concerted effort to show respect and appreciation for a person’s name.

The Power of Your Name:

Understanding how you came to be living on this earth with this specific name is a critical component of your life story. Follow these quick steps to understand your name, to open up discussions around your name, and ultimately provide your name with power.

⦁ Research:

Do research into the meaning and origin of your name. This process will aid a sense of connection to your name if you resonate with the meaning behind your name. For example, the meaning behind Memi as a brand name is “me, myself, and I”. This then demonstrates, through the name, that the brand is centred around you and celebrating your originality.

⦁ Reason:

Your parents or guardians would have spent many hours tossing names around until they landed upon the perfect one for you. Ask them about this process, the reasoning behind their choice, and if this has any historical family relevance or religious purposes. Some names are steeped in tradition and have been passed down centuries, while others have been created by the parents themselves. Both express certain aspirations they had in mind for you, and it is then up to you what you do with them.

⦁ Historical Relevance:

If your parents chose your name for the simple reason of enjoying the sound of the name, then it could be interesting to see who else you share this name within history. Look up historically relevant figures and see if there is any connection. This is merely a fun exercise for some at the dinner table conversation starters.

⦁ Reimagine:

Try to imagine yourself with a different name entirely. For some, this may feel foreign and strange, while for others this may be an exciting prospect. In South Africa, it is acceptable to legally change your name for any reason, such as personal choice, ideological reasons, or social reasons. Your name is your power, and if you decide to change it, there is also power in that choice.

Memi Name Necklace:

Memi’s slogan “this is me” is captured eloquently in their name necklace. When you put your name necklace on you are making a statement to the world that “this is who I am”. We have compiled a small list with a few of the name necklaces on offer at Memi to demonstrate how they can be used to narrate who you are.

Your Story Behind Your Name Necklace:

⦁ Your First Name:

Creating a necklace with your name is a bold statement to the world that this is who you are. This demonstrates ownership of your name, a pride in it, and a determination to be correctly identified when socialising or working with people. Take this to the next level with the Memi Diamond Name Necklace. The addition of the diamonds symbolises strength, beauty, and longevity. These qualities will then be associated with your name, making your name truly powerful.

⦁ Your Nickname:

All types of name necklaces can be personalised at Memi, which provides you with the opportunity to create something unique to yourself. Choosing a personal nickname, whether it stemmed from childhood or friendships, will create a conversation with people and allow you to share a personal aspect of yourself with them if you chose to do so. For this, we suggest the Mini Name Necklace due to its dainty sizing which could draw someone in closer.

⦁ Your Family’s Names:

If you are a person orientated around your family then you can incorporate their names in the Memi Multi Name Necklace. Having more than one name demonstrates that you have many important people in your life and creates the impression of you being a loving, friendly, and well-rounded person. This is a great story to highlight about yourself through your name.

⦁ Your Lover’s Name:

If you are in a committed relationship, are head-over-heels in love, or highlighting a person of importance in your life, then Memi has on offer the Infinity Name Necklace. This allows for the addition of the other person’s name incorporated into an infinity sign. This will create the story that you are a loyal, dedicated, and loving human being.

⦁ Handwritten Name:

If you have a significant person in your life but still want your name on your name necklaces, we suggest the Memi Your Handwriting Name Necklace. Ask this significant person, whether it be a friend, lover, or family member, to write out your name and then get it created by Memi into one or more name necklaces. This allows for a personal connection to important people in your life while still staying true to your name. It demonstrates that you have people involved in your life story, but that you are the lead writer.

The Story Behind Memi Name Necklaces:

Choosing or personalising a Memi name necklace is a powerful way to embrace the story behind your name. But there is also an additional story behind the Memi name necklaces. This story is one of community upliftment, support, care, and love.

Memi has decided that their social responsibility is to aid the Ladies of Love organisation. They do this by donating enough sandwiches to feed ten children per every item of jewellery that is ordered. This means that behind every name necklace you buy, there is a story of support and love for children in need. As of June 2020, Memi has been able to feed 192 children in need from the consistent love and support they have received from their customers.

The Story Behind the Ladies of Love:

Ladies of Love is a Cape Town based organisation with a purpose to help feed communities and return dignity to families. Ladies of Love is run by a dedicated team and supported by volunteer work and donations. Thus far Ladies of Love have served over 10 716 512 million meals to those in need. This is an organisation that is passionate about people and making a difference in their community.

If you are based in the Cape Town area and are inspired to take further action to support the Ladies of Love organisation, then additional details about volunteer work or donations are available on their website. If you are already making a difference in your community through a feeding scheme, then Ladies of Love offers you the opportunity to apply to them for support for your Non-Profit Organisation.

This creates a beautiful circle; you are supporting Memi through purchasing a name necklace, who in turn is then supporting Ladies of Love, and Ladies of Love are then able to support their community and even possibly help you support your community. That is one spectacular story behind an already breath-taking name necklace.

Benefits of Memi supporting Ladies of Love:

Memi’s commitment to making a difference in the lives of many people who are struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic says three important things about the brand:

⦁ They Care:

Memi is centred on helping you embrace your inner strength, originality, and life story. Through helping aid the Ladies of Love organisation, this demonstrates that they do not only care about you and their target market of consumers but their community as a whole. Their care inspires others to do better.

⦁ They can be Trusted:

Trust is critical for any brand, and through supporting Ladies of Love, Memi has demonstrated that they are a brand that can be trusted to take social action when it is needed. This can then provide peace of mind for you knowing that if there ever had to be a problem with your product, they can be trusted to act quickly and efficiently rectifying it.

⦁ They are Aware:

Memi is demonstrating, through supporting Ladies of Love, that they are aware and engaged with what is happening in their community. They have been able to acknowledge a problem and act towards solving it. This awareness is a great way to evaluate a company, as it demonstrates that they are tuned in to the world around them. In application to Memi, this means, from a jewellery point of view, that they will be able to keep up with the latest trends while still maintaining the integrity of their brand.

Spread the Love:

The Memi name necklaces vary in design, material, and colour. The choice is yours when it comes to which name is written, the font style, and the length of the necklace due to the adjustable clasp. The name necklace is then able to be personalised further with the choice of either additional Swarovski crystal birthstone accents, diamond accents, or butterfly, heart, circle, and flower accents. This enables you to create a name necklace that captures everybody’s attention.

Once you have grabbed everybody’s attention, use this moment to engage in conversation. Tailor your conversation to be descriptive of your personal story, the story behind Memi, or the story behind the Ladies of Love organisation. Either way, your name necklace is an identification piece that will help people understand a little more about who you are and what you stand for.

Share a story through your name necklace which will inspire people to use their name to spread the love to Memi and to the Ladies of Love.
