Whether you’re shopping for yourself or looking for a loved one, the best initial necklaces are the perfect jewelry gifts for everyone on your list. And with the holiday season just around the corner, the hunt for thoughtful presents is officially on.
Choosing a piece with someone’s first initial is always the safe and obvious choice when it comes to initial necklaces, but picking a style that highlights a friend’s last name could be a fun way to mix it up as well—especially for a newlywed, who may be proud to flaunt their new family name. Looking for some style inspo? Turn to none other than Hailey Bieber, who’s sported her big, bold, bubble B necklace on numerous occasions (for Bieber, of course!). Another idea? Shop for a necklace with your partner’s initial—think T, as in Troy—or one with the initials of your children, parents, or other loved ones, to keep those near and dear close to your heart. heart keyring
