18K GOLD, SEALED WITH PALLADIUM

Warm. Rich. Unmistakably gold. That’s how our 18K gold finishes look on day one, and our palladium layer helps them stay that way.

WHAT IS OUR PALLADIUM PLATING?

Our gold vermeil starts with a 925 sterling silver core, and our gold-plated pieces start with a brass core. Before we apply the gold, we coat the core with palladium, a precious metal in the platinum family. This layer acts as a barrier, slowing the movement of metals from the core into the gold, where they can dull the color over time.

Then we electroplate 18K gold on top: 3.0 microns on our vermeil and 0.5 microns on our gold-plated brass. The palladium layer helps the finish retain its original 18K gold color and glow, wear after wear.

18K GOLD VERMEIL

A 925 sterling silver core, a palladium layer, and 3 microns of 18K gold. Our thicker gold finish gives the piece a rich color and the look and feel of fine jewelry. It comes with a 2-year warranty.

GOLD-PLATED BRASS

A brass core, a palladium layer, and 0.5 micron of 18K gold. It’s our more affordable option for everyday wear, with the same three-layer approach to help preserve the color and shine.

14K SOLID GOLD

Solid gold throughout, for a precious piece made to keep close for years to come.

This is my second necklace from this seller. I purchased the original three years ago and have worn it daily, including in the shower. I only bought a new one because I’ve lost a significant amount of weight, and the original no longer sits where I want it to on my neck. If anything happens to this one, I’ll purchase it again!

I absolutely love it! I was concerned the letters would be too large for what I was wanting, but they are just the right size. Dainty for sure! I chose a different font and I appreciated the options. Other necklaces I looked at did not have different fonts. I really like the chain, it’s very delicate, not like the other standard ones I’ve seen. I do wish the clasp was a bit larger and easier to open, maybe a lobster claw. And the extender rings are just soldered to the chain, it would be nice to have an o ring connection. Shipping time was awhile. Overall though, very happy with purchase!!

The necklace turned out beautiful — exactly what I hoped for. The engraving on both sides looks perfect, and the pearl charm is such a pretty addition. It arrived packaged so thoughtfully, with a gift box, pouch, cleaning cloth, and care instructions. The seller was very accommodating and easy to work with, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!

After a long wait for this item (two and a half months to South Africa), my beautiful necklace finally arrived!

It is exactly what I was looking for and so lovely and dainty! Very happy with my purchase ✨💛

The I does not have the classic capitalization bars at top and bottom so you can hardly see the letter as it’s just a straight bar in line with the necklace. I’ll never wear it as you can only see the other letter and I have two children. Looks cheap.

Antique engraving of the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul: merchants, shoppers and a rider on horseback beneath long painted stone arches

Made in the Grand Bazaar, Istanbul

Centuries of Skill. In Every Piece.

Not a trend. Not a shortcut.

Your piece is made by goldsmiths in Istanbul's Grand Bazaar, where gold has been shaped, set and polished since 1461, and you can see it in the details: clean lines, an even polish, nothing rough against your skin.

Color That Holds Up

Real Gold. Real Silver. Nothing Cheap Underneath.

3 microns of 18K gold.
15 times standard plating.

Most gold-tone jewelry is a thin coat over base metal. Ours starts with solid 925 sterling silver, then adds 3 microns of real 18K gold, about 15 times the 0.2 microns of standard plating, so the warm color holds up to everyday wear. The silver base is gentle on sensitive skin.

Shopping on a budget? Our gold-plated option uses 0.5 microns of gold over brass. Want gold all the way through? Select designs also come in solid 14K.

925 sterling silver.
15x the gold of standard plating.
2-year warranty on vermeil.

Questions, answered

Everything people ask before they buy this necklace.

Is this initial necklace real gold?

It depends on the metal you pick, and only one of the three is solid gold. 14K Solid Gold is gold all the way through, not a layer over another metal, so there is no base metal underneath to wear through. 18K Gold Vermeil is a thick 3.0-micron layer of real 18K gold over solid 925 sterling silver: the colour and warmth of gold, made for daily wear. Gold Plated is 0.5 microns of 18K gold over brass, the lowest price of the three. Choosing White Gold/Silver? On vermeil that is the sterling itself, on plated a silver-tone finish, and on 14K white gold. Warranty: 1 year on Gold Plated, 2 years on vermeil and 14K.

Whose initial do you wear on an initial necklace?

Your own, most often — and that is the modern way to wear it. The older convention was to wear a partner's or a child's letter; now a single initial on a fine chain reads as a signature. Mothers stack one letter per child on the same chain. Couples wear each other's. A bridesmaid set is the bride's initial for everyone. There is no rule, only the person you want to be reminded of when you touch it.

What is different about 14K Solid Gold?

It is the same design, made of gold instead of finished in it. 14K means 58.5% pure gold, alloyed for strength — the standard for fine jewelry you wear every day. It is solid gold all the way through, not a layer over another metal: no base metal underneath, nothing to wear through. That is why it costs more — with vermeil and plated, the gold is a surface layer measured in microns; with 14K, the gold is the metal the piece is made of. The gold does not tarnish and does not mind the shower or sleep, and it is the one that gets handed down. 2-year warranty. Every 14K piece is made to order, so it takes 4 business days longer than vermeil or plated.

Can I get two initials on one necklace?

On our two-initial and multiple-letter designs, yes — they hold two or more letters side by side: yours and theirs, or the first letters of two children's names. On the pavé designs each letter is outlined in stones; on the tag and sideways designs the letters are cut or engraved. A design made for a single initial holds just the one. Tell us the letters in the order you want them read, left to right.

What is the difference between an initial necklace and a monogram necklace?

An initial necklace carries a single letter, or a couple of separate ones; a monogram interlocks two or three initials into one design, traditionally with the surname initial larger in the middle. Monograms read formal and preppy; initials read minimal. If you want something that goes under a T-shirt and over a blazer equally well, the single initial wins.

Can I shower or sleep in my necklace?

It depends on the metal. 14K Solid Gold: yes to both — it is solid gold all the way through and does not tarnish, so it can stay on in the shower, in bed and every day in between. The one exception is a piece with pearls or soft natural stones: those come off before water whatever the metal. 18K Gold Vermeil: sleep in it, yes; shower, pool and gym, no. Gold Plated: off before the shower, the pool and the gym, and ideally at night too — water, sweat and perfume are what wear plating down fastest. With vermeil or plated, jewelry goes on last, after lotion and perfume have dried, and back in its anti-tarnish pouch when it comes off. Clean the metal with a soft dry cloth; never use jewelry dip or anything abrasive on vermeil or plated, which strips the finish.

What does a heart with a name or initial mean?

That the name is loved — by you, if it is your own, or by the person who gave it. A name alone is an identity; a name with a heart is an identity with someone attached. Mothers read it as the child; couples read it as each other; daughters read it as home. Whether the lettering sits on the heart or beside it, the meaning is the same.

Can the heart be engraved too?

It depends on the design, and the product photos show which kind this is. Where the name or initial is on the heart itself, it is engraved into the heart. Where the name or initial is its own piece beside the heart — a bar, a pendant or a script name — the heart is a separate charm and is not engraved: the lettering is the message and the heart is the punctuation. If you want a second letter or a date, message us before ordering and we will tell you what fits.

How long does a personalized necklace take to arrive?

Most personalized orders arrive within 5 to 9 business days in the US: 3 to 5 business days for us to make it, then free USPS shipping that takes 2 to 4 days. In 14K Solid Gold, allow 4 more business days, so 9 to 13 in all. Your name, stone or engraving is part of the piece, not a sticker on top: on vermeil and plated it is added before the finish goes on, and on 14K it is in the solid gold itself. You get a tracking number the moment it ships. Because it is made for you, spelling and size cannot change once we start making it, so take one more look at the personalization before you pay. We ship worldwide; international delivery is 5 to 14 business days depending on the country, and duties are the buyer's.

What length necklace should I get?

If you are unsure, choose 18 inches — it sits just below the collarbone and works on almost everyone and with almost every neckline. 16 inches sits at the collarbone (the most popular length for dainty pendants and for layering as the top chain). 14 inches is a choker fit. 20 inches drops a few inches lower and is the right choice over a crew neck or as the bottom layer in a stack. This piece comes in 14, 16, 18 and 20 inches. If you are between lengths, go longer — a chain can always sit a little lower, and if a chain you already own comes up short, our 1, 2 and 3 inch extenders fix that in one clip.
