Table of Contents Toggle Our favorite letter necklaces From the ancient Roman and Greek rulers to modern royals like Meghan Markle, initial necklaces have stood the test of time as a sophisticated bauble of choice. We wear them to express our personality, show our love for our partners and, as mamas, keep our little ones close to our hearts throughout the day. And itâs no surprise theyâve endured. Made from gold, silver or other precious metals, initial necklaces (also known as letter necklaces or monogram necklaces) are the simplest form of personalized jewelry. They can be delicate and understated, or worn as a statement piece to add a personal touch to any outfit. Solid metals are always in style, but you can also add a pop of color with pave birthstones as well. Like huggie hoops, theyâre timeless and easy to wear whether youâre dashing to a pilates class or hitting the town for a much-needed date night.
