The Best Initial Jewelry That Is Both Chic And Meaningful

Inspired by 1900s coin jewelry, Jane Win Jewelry is both symbolic and stylish. This .75-inch diameter pendant is made from sterling silver plated in 14K gold. The shiny front side can be engraved—you can choose from four different fonts—and it’s surrounded with white topaz stones while the backside features a crescent moon and star design. You can choose from two different chains, which is helpful if you plan on layering necklaces.

Made with gold plated brass and a mother of pearl and glass stone background to showcase your initial, this delicate necklace looks great layered with a variety of other chains in various metals. You can also choose from a dark mother of pearl of turquoise backdrop.

Worn by Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez, Jenny Bird’s designs are subtly statement-making. Made from 14K recycled yellow gold, this puffy silhouette is both playful and unique. It comes on a diamond cut cable chain, and because it has a shortening ring, the chain can be worn at 16.5 or 18 inches.

Zoe Lev makes gorgeous, personalized jewelry, from heirloom charms to signet rings. We love that you can customize this necklace with between two and five initials to make it special. (Note that the price increases with each initial, however.) The asymmetrical placement of the initials is unexpected and unique, and it will have everyone asking about the significance of each letter.

Catbird’s minimalist jewelry blends trendy and classic, and it’s also responsibly sourced. This thin 1mm band is made from recycled solid 14K yellow gold and set in pave with recycled round brilliant cut white diamonds. Stack it with another alphabet letter ring or with a solid gold band.

California-based Gorjana is beloved by everyone from tweens to celebrities. This low-key bracelet—it features a single letter on a fine chain in 18K gold plated brass—looks great on its own or styled with a larger stack in different materials and metals. At this accessible price, this initial bracelet makes a great thoughtful gift.

For an extra meaningful piece of jewelry, choose a sweet single initial pendant with a hand stamped initial alongside a birthstone. The 16-inch satellite chain has a two-inch extender for different lengths, and you can opt for gold or silver metal.

Sweet and stylish, these cursive studs are crafted from 14K solid gold. Choose any two initials with meaning—for yourself, your kids or really just any letters that serve as a source of inspiration.

If you’re looking for a larger-scale piece, we love this substantial pendant from female-founded Sequin. It’s made from 22K gold-plated brass with a padlock-style element with pave crystal details. The 18-inch chain is substantial, durable and stylish, and it perfectly complements the rugged-yet-feminine initial.

With an ‘80s-inspired letter shape and a .06 carat touch of sparkle, this unique initial style from Los-Angeles-based Adina Reyter is a showstopper. We love this paper clip style 16-inch chain yellow gold chain, and it’s also available in a mixed metal chain version.

While pearls can at times feel stuffy or dated, this delicate charm gives them an updated feel. It features small freshwater pearls against a 14K gold backdrop—almost like pave diamonds—so they stand out. Note that this piece does not come with a chain.

Lockets are decidedly old school and can sometimes feel limiting because they can fit only a single image. This 1-inch high locket, however, can fit four so you can include multiple meaningful images, notes or other bits of inspiration. It’s made from sterling silver and set with white sapphires and comes with a 22-inch chain that has a loop for adjustability.

Sometimes you want multiple letters in the same font on a chain—maybe you want to include your first and last initial, the initials for your kids’ names, or even letters to honor your pets’ names. Edge of Ember’s 18K gold plated double initial necklace allows you to select two letters in a modern, chic font. You can choose from a 17-inch or 21-inch gold ball chain; or alternatively, this style is available in sterling silver.
