Name Necklace as a Gift for Mum: Her Name or Her Children's
Gifts for mum
A name necklace for a mother usually carries one of three things: her own name, the name of one of her children, or a single Arabic letter for each child. The Lana Al Kamal Arabic Name Necklace spells one name in 18K yellow, white or rose gold, from AED 4,250 (November 2026). For several children, the Arabic Letter Necklace gives one initial per necklace at AED 3,200 each. Both are made to order, so allow about four weeks before the date you need it.

Her name or her children's names?
Her own name is the classic choice and works for any occasion. A child's name turns the necklace into a message from that child, which suits a first Mother's Day or a gift from a son or daughter living abroad. The Arabic Name Necklace is priced by the letter count of one name, with options for 3, 4 to 5, 6 to 7 and 8 to 9 letters. If you want more than one name on one piece, ask the Lana Al Kamal team on WhatsApp or by email before you order, because the product page does not offer it.
One letter for each child
When there are several children, many families choose an initial for each one. The Arabic Letter Necklace offers all 28 letters, each about 10 x 14 mm with a VS diamond, and the product page says the size works on its own or layered with other necklaces. Take each letter from the Arabic spelling: Omar and Ali start with ع, Ahmed with أ. Our guide on choosing your Arabic letter has a table of common names, and our chain length guide explains how far apart to wear layered chains.
What to buyArabic Name Necklace, from AED 4,250Check the spelling before you order
A gift for a mother is personal, so the spelling must be right. Write the name in Arabic letters, check it with the family, and count the letters to pick the right option. Our guide on writing a name in Arabic explains how.
When to order for Mother's Day or a birthday
Both pieces are made to order. Production takes about 15 working days, then shipping about 3 working days in the UAE, about 5 to Saudi Arabia and the rest of the GCC, and about 10 to the USA. Mother's Day falls on 21 March in many Arab countries, so order by late February. For a birthday, order about four weeks ahead. See our guide to custom name necklace delivery time for the details.
