Initial jewelry, explained
An initial is the most personal symbol in jewelry, because it carries no meaning until someone gives it one. People wear their own initial, a partner's, a child's or a parent's. A small letter in solid gold is also one of the few pieces that can be worn every day for decades without dating.
How to choose an initial piece
Stud earrings are the quietest way to wear a letter. Charm pendants hang on a fine chain or a charm bracelet; check whether the chain is included. Pendants set with lab-grown diamonds add light for a bigger occasion. For a new mother, a child's initial is the classic gift; for a couple, each other's. Several letters can be layered on one chain or worn on separate chains at different lengths.
Whose initial should I wear?
Your own, a partner's, a child's or a parent's. Each says something different, and none is wrong.
Can you wear more than one initial?
Yes. Several charms on one chain, or separate chains layered at different lengths.
Is an initial necklace a good gift?
It is one of the most personal gifts at any price, and fits without a size.
