Initialise your Personality
Initial jewellery, and in particular initial necklaces, have always been popular, whether depicting a whole name, or just the first letter. Years ago, it was generally available in gold or silver only but, nowadays, an initial necklace can be made from a variety of materials such as Perspex or even glass.
A simple single letter on a delicate gold or silver chain will look very sophisticated and will go with most outfits. However, for something slightly more eye catching it is possible to buy an initial necklace which looks slightly bolder and is made from a lightweight wood, allowing the necklace to look slightly more substantial.
Wearing an initial necklace is a great idea, and offers just a clue to someone’s name; not everyone wants their whole name to be visible but are happy to wear a letter instead.
Initials themselves can be quite unique, ranging from a simple carving out of wood, to a more complicated filigree design in gold or silver. They can be small when a dainty delicate look is required, or big and chunky for a bolder more ethnic look. Several initials, even made out of different materials, can be worn together, something which would look great with a Bohemian outfit.
Asides from n initial necklace personal initials can be worn in many different ways. Rings are a popular item, especially with men, as are neck chains, and, for many men these days, even earrings. For the girls, they can also be worn as earrings, bracelets, even key rings or handbag and mobile phone charms, as well as the more traditional necklaces. They are also a great idea for children who will be more than happy to have the first letter of their name on a chain. An initial can also be added to a treasured charm bracelet for a girl, whatever her age.
Initials are one way of wearing jewellery that looks equally good on men or women – one of the reasons why it will remain a popular choice with most people.
