Initial necklaces: which letter to pick

3 min read · Petal Charms

An initial is a tiny way to carry someone close. The hard part is choosing whose.

Here are a few ideas.

Your own letter

Your first initial is a classic. It is simple, and it goes with everything.

A middle or last initial can feel a little more private.

Someone you love

Wear the initial of a child, a partner, a parent or a friend. It makes a sweet gift.

The heart initial necklace is $12, in a warm yellow tone, with a letter about 0.5 in tall and a tiny heart beside it.

Make it a pair

Layer your initial with a birth flower necklace for a personal combination. Our layering guide shows how.

Check the letter before you order. All sales are final.

Gift an initial

When giving an initial, double check the spelling of the name and the letter you mean. If the person has a nickname, think about whether you want that letter instead. Add a note saying whose letter it is, because that is the part they will remember. Wrap it in tissue and twine for a finishing touch, and tuck in a small card.
