Initial necklaces are a thoughtful and timeless gift. Whether it’s a personalised piece inscribed with the recipient’s own initials or those of their loved one, initial necklaces are one of the most sentimental items of jewellery that someone can own. When it comes to gifting an initial necklace, there are a few things to consider: Does the lucky recipient wear gold or silver? Do they prefer pearls or diamonds? And will it be a piece for everyday or only for special occasions? We can find ourselves in an endless maze of trying to tick all the boxes, apprehensive of selecting something that will be received with anything less than elation.
But rest assured that whatever you go for, the person you’re gifting will no doubt be touched by the personalised element of their new necklace. There are plenty of opportunities to make the most of initial jewellery. Maybe you want to create a matching necklace with a friend or partner’s initials? In which case, Roxanne Assoulin or Pandora should be your first port of call.
Or, if you are opting for an investment piece, try the Petite Initial necklace from Sophie Billie Brahe, which is adorned with glistening diamonds. For someone who appreciates chunky jewellery, meanwhile, Completedworks’s Classicworks necklace is guaranteed to please.
