Initial necklaces, not quite as obvious as fully personalised necklaces, are a subtle way to spell out a message with your jewellery. Everyone from The Duchess of Sussex to J-Lo and Gigi Hadid are fans of wearing an initial necklace, and it’s not difficult to see why. You can wear your own initials, obvs… wear a VIP’s initial… or team together a random mix of your family’s or best pal’s initials. As well as an excellent gift-to-self, initial necklaces also make ideal presents for best friends or bridesmaids, too.
How to style initial necklaces? Right now, we love the look of a couple of necklaces, mixed in gold and silver, worn with a white shirt. Layering your jewellery is a big fashion trend at the moment. As is mixing your metals. We also adore wearing one statement piece over a classic white t-shirt. Tuck your top into your jeans and pop a friendship bracelet on your wrist and you’re good to go.
