Whether you’re shopping for yourself or looking for a loved one, the best initial necklaces are the perfect jewelry gifts for everyone on your list. And with the holiday season just around the corner, the hunt for thoughtful presents is officially on.
Vogue’s Guide to the Best Initial Necklaces:The Letter Locket: Monica Rich Kosann sterling silver petite initial locket necklace, $295The Bold Gold: Mejuri bold letter necklace pendant, $148The Corded Creation: Alison Lou silver cloud letter necklace, $425The Pop of Color: Boochier jumbo malachite nostalgia letter pendant, $3,760The Cursive Classic: Tiffany & Co. Elsa Peretti alphabet letter ‘G’ pendant, $450The Diamond-Encrusted: Sydney Evan diamond initial necklace, $2,215The Asymmetric Initial: Zoe Lev diamond asymmetric initial necklace, $395Choosing a piece with someone’s first initial is always the safe and obvious choice when it comes to initial necklaces, but picking a style that highlights a friend’s last name could be a fun way to mix it up as well—especially for a newlywed, who may be proud to flaunt their new family name. Looking for some style inspo? Turn to none other than Hailey Bieber, who’s sported her big, bold, bubble B necklace on numerous occasions (for Bieber, of course!). Another idea? Shop for a necklace with your partner’s initial—think T, as in Troy—or one with the initials of your children, parents, or other loved ones, to keep those near and dear close to your heart.
From delicate, dainty chains, to maximalist pendants, to pieces glittered with diamonds, you truly can’t go wrong with a personalized pick. Our more minimalist finds are great layering pieces to easily integrate into any neck stack and the more statement-making ones are perfect to style solo. Below are some of Vogue’s favorite initial necklaces worth snagging this season.
