Jennifer Lopez has been nailing enviable summer style, but there's a tiny accessory she can’t stop wearing that has everyone talking: her beloved ‘Ben’ necklace.

The Hustlers star has been spotting wearing the tribute to her off and now full force on-again boyfriend Ben Affleck just about everywhere - and we’re obsessed.

The tiny gold chain has three gold initials - B, E, and N on one side, and J.Lo has been layering it over another thin gold necklace that has a diamond pendant.

Initial necklaces have been a big trend this year, and we love J.Lo’s accessory, not only for tributes to significant others, but for other ways it can be customized: personal initials, childrens’ initials, or any way you see fit.

J.Lo hasn’t mentioned where she got her necklace, but we found the best dupe on Etsy for less than $20. It’s gold and has three letters on one side too.

We also found several initial necklaces we loved during Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale. Most of those necklaces have since gone back up to their regular prices, but it's worth bookmarking the link above for the next sale that pops up (check back during Labor Day weekend). Although we didn’t see three initials going up one side on any of the necklaces that were under $50, there are several single initial necklaces that are worth checking out. 

One of our faves is the Kate Spade Mini Initial necklace, a chic dainty gold staple accessory that you can wear with nearly anything. It makes for good gifts too.

J.Lo was last spotted wearing her ‘Ben’ necklace as she took a stroll in Portofino rocking a chic, off-white collared Cult Gaia Keegan cutout summer dress that came complete with midriff cutouts and short sleeves.

Ben wasn’t on the stroll or the boating excursion J.Lo and her friends enjoyed that day, but it’s clear she’s keeping him close to her heart.
