SHOP LETTER JEWELRY
The letter charm is one of the most personal motifs in modern jewelry, descended from centuries of signet rings, monogrammed lockets and inscribed seals used to mark identity and belonging. In the Victorian era, acrostic jewels spelled secret messages with the first letters of their stones, and today's initial charms carry the same intimate idea in a simpler form. Initial pieces are worn to honor one's own name, a partner, a child or a loved one no longer near, and they are among the most gifted styles of jewelry precisely because they say 'this was chosen for you, specifically.' Paired with pearls for purity and calm or with colored stones for personality, a letter charm turns a simple bracelet into a small, wearable dedication.
