The Initials Collection: Your Complete Guide to Making It Yours
There's something about wearing your initial that feels different from wearing any other jewelry. It's not just personal — it's possessive. It says: this is mine, this is me, and I wear it intentionally. At Ellison + Young, our Initials Collection spans necklaces, bracelets, rings, key chains, and more — every piece designed to carry your letter beautifully. Here's the complete guide to every initial piece we make and how to wear them.
The Necklaces
Art Deco Initial Necklace — $26.25
Our highest-inventory initial necklace with 2,038 units in stock — and one of our most stunning. The Art Deco Initial Necklace features a trendy gold bar-inspired Aztec-style initial charm on a delicate chain. The geometric design gives it an architectural quality that reads as modern and fashion-forward rather than classic. Available in 20 initials and a consistent Faire best seller.
Style tip: The Art Deco design layers beautifully with a simple chain underneath. Let the initial sit at collarbone height as the focal point.
Singular Charm Initial Necklace — $20.00
A gold plated coin initial necklace with an engraved charm on a dainty ball-detailed chain — the Singular Charm Initial Necklace has 1,030 units in stock across 20 initials. The coin format gives it a classic, timeless quality that works across every style from minimalist to maximalist. At $20 it's also one of our most accessible layering necklaces.
Style tip: Stack with the Art Deco Initial Necklace at different lengths for an initial double-layer look — two necklaces, same letter, completely different design languages.
Double Chain Initial Necklace — $23.75
A herringbone and linked chain with a reversible initial charm — the Double Chain Initial Necklace has 1,036 units in stock across 20 initials at $23.75. It's pre-layered, meaning you get two chain styles in one piece with the initial charm as the anchor. One of our absolute best sellers on both Shopify and Faire.
Style tip: The reversible charm gives you two looks in one. Wear the engraved side forward for a refined look; flip to the other side for something slightly different on the same chain.
Scripted Notes Locket Initial Necklace — $16.25
The most romantic piece in the initial necklace lineup. The Scripted Notes Locket Initial Necklace features a brushed finish lock pendant with an engraved monogram initial in a scripted font — 782 units in stock. It's a locket-style necklace that closes and carries a sense of secret and sentiment that other initial necklaces don't.
Style tip: Wear at a slightly longer length (18") so the locket pendant hangs at mid-chest and catches light when you move. Pairs beautifully with a V-neck or open collar.
Monogram Collection Initial Necklace — $18.75
Clean, classic, and endlessly wearable. The Monogram Collection Initial Necklace is a gold-dipped brass initial necklace that adds a personal, elegant touch to any outfit — 436 units in stock across 14 initials at $18.75. It's been in the collection since the beginning and remains one of our most consistent sellers.
Style tip: This is the everyday initial necklace — put it on in the morning and forget it's there until someone compliments it.
Birth Year Necklace — $12.25
Not an initial, but the most personal necklace we make. The Birth Year Necklace displays years from 1990–2002 in an Old English font on a stainless steel chain — 1,413 units in stock at $12.25. It's the piece that says "I know exactly who you are" and one of the most gifted necklaces in our catalog.
Style tip: Layer with your initial necklace for a personalization double-stack: your letter above, your year below. Two pieces that together tell the whole story.
The Bracelets
Darcy Initial Bracelet — $21.25
The best-selling initial piece in our entire catalog. The Darcy Initial Bracelet is a gold stretch bead bracelet with a sparkly initial accent — 1,012 units in stock across 20 initials at $21.25. It layers beautifully with other stretch bracelets, sits comfortably on any wrist, and is the kind of piece people wear literally every single day.
Style tip: Stack with two plain gold bead stretch bracelets on either side. The initial accent pops against the solid gold beads and the look reads intentional without effort.
Stylish Initial Charm Bracelet — $13.75
A linked chain bracelet with an initial charm — the Stylish Initial Charm Bracelet in stainless steel gold dip has 263 units in stock (A has the most at 59 units). It's a more delicate option than the Darcy — a chain rather than a stretch bead — and sits beautifully on the wrist as a solo piece or layered with a stretch bracelet.
Style tip: Wear as the chain accent in a mixed-texture bracelet stack. Stretch beads + initial chain bracelet is a classic E+Y wrist formula.
The Rings
Tiny Initial Ring — $16.25
Small, precious, and completely addictive to wear. The Tiny Initial Ring has a monogrammed initial in size 7 stainless steel — 171 units in stock across 16 initials at $16.25. It's the ring that goes on once and never comes off — stacks beautifully with other rings or wears solo with complete confidence.
Style tip: Wear your initial ring on your index or middle finger. Stack the Tiny Disc Stackable Ring (Heart or Happy Face, $16.25, 446 units in stock) on an adjacent finger for a mixed-symbol ring stack that's uniquely yours.
The Key Chains
Baby Daisy Initial Key Chain — $12.25
Real preserved daisy flowers inside an acrylic block initial — the Baby Daisy Initial Key Chain has 900 units in stock across 20 initials at $12.25. Nature meets personalization in the most charming way possible. One of our most gifted pieces and a genuine Faire top seller.
Tasseled Initial Key Chain — $11.25
The minimalist key chain. The Tasseled Initial Key Chain in White is a gold initial with a crisp white tassel — 309 units in stock at $11.25. Clean, chic, and the perfect clip-on for any bag or backpack.
