Personalised Gift Ideas: Initial Necklaces

Christmas has a way of arriving all at once. If you'd rather not be panic-buying in the week before, now is a good time to start. And if you want a gift that feels chosen rather than grabbed, personalised jewellery is the place to look.

Why a letter necklace works

The initial necklace is the best-known piece of personalised jewellery for a reason. Almost everyone has received one, or wanted to. It's simple, it goes with everything, and it carries someone's name without spelling it out.

It doesn't have to be her own initial, either. Choose the initials of her children, her partner, or the people she'd keep close. The Double Mini Initial Necklace holds two letters on one chain; the triple version holds three.

For Mum

You're never too old to give your mum jewellery. A necklace carrying the initials of each of her children is one she'll wear long after the wrapping's gone. Something already bought for Christmas? Save the necklace for Mother's Day. See more jewellery gifts for Mum.

For her

A personalised initial necklace is a gift that says you paid attention. Our Initial Necklace is 18k gold plated recycled sterling silver, and it layers easily with plain chains and medallion necklaces she may already own. For something that lasts a lifetime, the Solid Gold Initial Necklace comes in 9ct recycled gold, or add lab-grown diamonds with the Diamond Initial Necklace.

Build your own

Our Initial Pendants are also sold on their own, so you can add letters to a chain she already has, or spell out a short word or a set of initials across one necklace. Two letters for a couple. Three for a family.
