Even though the holiday season has come and gone, the hunt for thoughtful presents never ends. Initial necklaces are one such jewelry gift perfect for special occasions, be it an upcoming birthday (yours included!), Valentine’s Day, anniversary, or more.
From delicate chains to bold pendants and glittering diamonds, there are endless options for accessorizing. Whether the metal preference is white or yellow gold, silver, or so-modern rose gold, a lovely letter always stands out, no matter if it’s small and delicate or weightier and mixed with heavy chain links and beads. Of course, birthstones, charms, and astrological jewelry are stylish personalized adornments. Yet, there’s nothing quite like a metal-worked or diamond-encrusted “A,” “B,” or “C” to showcase a letter or initial.
Vogue’s Favorite Initial Necklaces:
Some of the most popular and easy-to-wear initial necklaces come from some of our favorite jewelry brands, from Mejuri to Jennifer Meyer, are dainty and often rendered in script, block, or gothic letters. At the same time, baguette stones, glittering pavé, and oversize letters amount to bolder initial jewelry moments. Of course, gemstones, pearls, and enamel touches make for a more striking lettered necklace, too.
When worn alone in all its glory, they’ll glean more of a minimal look from an initial necklace. Or, take things in a maximalist direction by combining several letters on the same chain or layering several to represent their first and last name, a favorite word, or as a playful homage, a pet’s name, favorite mantra, a nickname? Whatever their preference, they can layer all types of initial necklaces beautifully, like with other chains, charms, and pendants.
From affordable jewelry finds to lust-worthy fine designs, scroll on for Vogue’s edit of the very best initial necklaces representing each letter of the alphabet. As you shop for presents this year—whoever it may be for—do so with a personal touch.
