Buy initial necklaces and stay on trend.

 

If you're an avid reader of Who What Wear, you're probably familiar with the initial pendant necklace from Celine that nearly took over Instagram last year. Unfortunately, with Phoebe Philo's departure, we can no longer get the real deal unless we manage to track down a second-hand one on Vestiaire Collective – and trust us when we say the markup is quite phenomenal.

However, it wasn't just Celine that created exceptional initial pendant necklaces... From Jennifer Meyer's letters, one of which was recently spotted on Meghan Markle at Wimbledon, to the bold look of Monica Vinader, there are 16 other fashionable girls who are really into it. Not only are they the perfect personalized piece, but they're also great for layering with other chains (or silk scarves). The styling and outfit options are truly endless – and you can keep scrolling to see what we mean.

Initial necklaces are among the best embellishments for personalizing the look of jewelry. From delicate chains to bold pendants and sparkling diamonds, there are endless options for customizing your neckline, whether you prefer white or yellow gold, silver, or modern rose gold. Of course, gemstone, charm, and astrological jewelry are other stylish personalized ornaments. Nevertheless, there is nothing quite like a metal-crafted or diamond-studded A, B, or C to showcase your favorite letter.

Some of the most popular and easy-to-wear initial necklaces are elegant and often rendered in print or gothic script. Baguette stones, sparkling pavé, and oversized letters are also bolder initial jewelry moments. Of course, gemstones, pearls, and enameled elements also create a more striking initial necklace.

Wearing it alone in all its glory, the original necklace gives you a more minimalist look. Or, you can take things in a maximalist direction by combining multiple letters on one chain or layering them to represent your first and last name, a favorite word, or initials of loved ones. Why not wear a strand with your pet's name, favorite mantra, or nickname as a playful tribute? Regardless of your preference – and we strongly recommend owning a variety – you can beautifully layer all types of initial necklaces with other chains and pendants. 

Remember, initial necklaces also make exceptional gifts for birthdays, holidays, or celebrating special occasions, like a wedding (new last name, anyone?) or the birth of a child. From affordable jewelry to fine seductive designs, head to Omar for the best initial necklaces representing every letter of the alphabet.
