Initial Impressions Necklace

The entry point into a gold letter necklace — a considered, scaled-back initial piece in solid gold, designed for the wearer who wants something personal without the weight of a more substantial pendant. Made to your initial in our London atelier from £265.

The Initial Impressions Necklace is the most accessible piece in our initial collection — smaller in scale, lighter in presence, and lower in price, but made with the same materials and the same care. Solid gold, made to order, available in every letter. Nothing about the construction is compromised — this is just a different point on the scale.

Individually created in our London atelier in solid 9ct, 14ct or 18ct gold. The 9ct version from £265 is the starting point; the 14ct and 18ct options move up in price as the gold quality increases. All three are solid throughout — not plated, not filled.

Available in yellow, white or rose gold in your chosen letter. If you want to add to it later, it layers well with other initial necklaces and chain styles.

For more presence, explore our handwritten letter necklace in gold or our petite necklace with initials for a different scale and style.
