Getting sentimental with your jewelry isn’t twee or off-limits—it’s encouraged. “I think the best stacks have a personal element like a pendant or charm,” The Last Line creative director Shelley Sanders tells BAZAAR.com. “It’s a sweet way to keep your loved ones close and often [becomes] a conversation piece when you’re at a party.” And few items get the personal message across more clearly than initial charms and pendants. Taylor Swift has literally sung the praises of her “J” initial necklace.
These wearable mementos are as varied as the people and places we cherish. Jewelry designers have dreamed up all sorts of updates to the initial jewelry market, spanning gemstone initial charms for maximalists, gold and silver chokers for minimalists, and a blend of enamel, pearl, and pavé diamond options for everyone in between. To make your stack a little more personal, we gathered 15 initial jewelry pieces from Mejuri, Catbird, Kinn, and more. Some come straight from designers’ own collections; all will keep those closest to you even closer.
Diamond Letter Hoop Earring Charm
The Last Line
The Last Line’s Sanders has two favorite ways to wear her husband and children’s initials: engraved on a pendant or swinging off a hoop earring in the form of a charm, like this one. “Hoop charms are great because you can work them onto almost any hoop and switch them out whenever you’d like,” she says.
Love Letter Necklace II
Kinn Studio
Here’s an initial chain that’s minimal, but no less sentimental.
Elsa Peretti Letter “A” Bracelet
Tiffany & Co.
Elsa Peretti’s initial jewelry for Tiffany features a swirling script that amounts to tiny, wearable sculpture. The only question is, which letter will you choose?
Letter 18-karat gold diamond necklace
Tomboy Ring
For a true everyday piece, try this recommendation from Catbird creative director Leigh Plessner. Engravings go on the inside of the band, so the letter (or letters) you choose are for your eyes only.
Signet Ring
Shoppers have spoken: This signet ring is another everyday favorite. Reviewers say it still looks new after 24/7 wear, plus there’s no extra charge to stamp the ring with an initial.
Bubble Tea Initial Necklace
Stone and Strand
You won’t find this puffy piece anywhere else: The font is an exclusive to Stone and Strand, and a best-seller at that.
Stellar Letter Pearl Necklace
Alison Lou
For a throwback touch, designer Alison Chemla recommends this seventies-inspired initial necklace—which she calls one of her all-time favorite pieces. “I love how easy this necklace is to layer and how it transitions well from season to season,” she says. “It looks as amazing with a chunky sweater as it does with a beach dress.”
14-Karat Gold, Crystal, and Diamond Ring
Maximalists, this diamond-on-diamond ring is for you. It’ll become the centerpiece of your ring stack—and it’s lighter than it looks.
Double Mini Gold Letter Charm Pendant
Customize the two charms on this pendant with the initials of your favorite person or place. Aurate co-founder Bouchra Ezzahraoui wears the diamond version with her childrens’ initials as part of her everyday necklace stack.
Full Heart Charm
Engrave this charm with a single letter, full initials, or phrase for the people you keep close to heart. It’s a Catbird team staple: Plessner wears one with her daughter’s name and Catbird team members receive one for their five-year “cativersary” gift.
Little Letters Necklace
Roxanne Assoulin
Initial jewelry, meet camp jewelry. This choker is meant for layering with necklaces of any length, and wearing on its own, of course.
Yellow Gold Sealed Gemstone Initial
This bold initial charm is new to Foundrae’s lineup—and co-founder and creative director Beth Bugdaycay says it took many tries to get the pavé diamond and gold letters placed just right within the quartz. Once it enters their jewelry lineup, she suggests wearing it on a necklace or bracelet chain. To make it even more sentimental, Foundrae also takes requests for alternative gemstones.
Silver Alphabet Stud
A tiny stud keeps it simple, but no less personal.
Enamel Initial Charms
Jenna Blake
Jenna Blake’s enamel initial charms are a top choice for more-is-more believers. While standing for something special, “it adds a pop of color and personality to your everyday aesthetic,” designer Jenna Grosfeld tells us.
Gold-Filled Initial Ring
ByChari’s dainty initial rings are meant to be stacked, be it with solid bands or more teeny tiny letters.
