I've been obsessed with monogrammed items for a while. I even purchased a lovely "Debra" necklace and promptly lost it.

Now, the object of my affection is this acrylic block cutout necklace from Moon and Lola. It can be done in single initials, double or triple monograms. I prefer the triple.

Large pendants are one and five-eighths of an inche on a 16-inch chain with three-inch extender. The medium is an inch and a quarter and the small is one inch in diameter. The mongrams are $58 to $78 at moonandlola.com and available in more than 20 colors and two font styles -- block and script. 

But you have to be patient for this one. It will take 4 to 5 weeks for delivery, but if you want to shop an early Valentine's Day gift, you're in luck. 

They absolutely can't help you with a Christmas delivery, but the merchant suggests printing out a picture and telling them that their monogrammed necklace is on the way. By the time it arrives, they'll be surprised again.
