Choosing an initial necklace
An initial necklace is one of the simplest personal gifts, because a single letter can stand for a name, a partner or a child. Choose the metal the person wears most, then decide between a plain letter and one set with a stone. A small pendant on a fine chain is easy to wear every day and layers well. Harfi makes every piece here. We looked at how Harfi describes its metals and stones, and how openly it does so.
Gold and silver initial jewellery
Harfi makes initial jewellery in 18ct gold vermeil, which is a thick layer of gold over sterling silver, as well as gold plate and sterling silver. The range includes a gold vermeil initial pendant necklace, a gold plated initial letter necklace with cubic zirconia, a sterling silver initial and crystal necklace and an initial letter personalised charm necklace in sterling silver. There is also an adjustable initial ring in gold plate and a set of gold plated initial pendant charms to add to a chain.
Initial pendant with a birthstone
Many pieces pair an initial pendant with a stone, such as opal, garnet, amethyst, moonstone, labradorite, lapis lazuli, turquoise or Herkimer diamond. Harfi also makes initial necklaces set with the birthstone for months such as April, May and September, and a mini initial and heart birthstone charm necklace in silver. Pairing a letter with a birthstone adds two personal details to one small piece, which makes a thoughtful Christmas present.
Wearing and caring for initial jewellery
Wear the initial of your own name, a partner's name or a child's name, or stack two letters on one chain for a couple or for two children. Take necklaces off before swimming or showering, and store them flat so chains do not tangle. Gold vermeil keeps its colour longest when kept dry and away from perfume. Most pieces arrive boxed, ready to give. Birthstone Jewellery has gifts by birth month, Necklaces has more chains and pendants, Personalised Gifts has more personal presents, and The sustainable jewellery guide: What “ethical” actually means explains jewellery materials.
