Initial Jewelry for Moms

In the past few years, initial jewelry pieces have skyrocketed in popularity. Google has seen a steep rise in searches for initial necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and rings, and as a result, several brands have started to debut personalized jewelry lines.

And while initial jewelry is trendy among all women, it's especially well-liked by moms. Here are all the details on this type of jewelry for your mom, spouse, or yourself if you're a parent.

Why Buy Initial Jewelry for Moms

Initial jewelry is a simple way to personalize a piece of jewelry for yourself (with your initial) or to pay tribute to someone special in your life (your spouse, child, etc.). Celebrity moms have led this fashion movement. Here are some top examples.

·      Kate Middleton: The Duchess of Cambridge has been seen wearing a gold pendant necklace with the initials of her children.

·      Halle Berry: Berry has been pictured wearing a personalized gold pendant necklace with her children's names.

·      Meghan Markle: The Duchess of Sussex has been seen wearing an asymmetrical necklace with the initials "H" and "M" for "Harry" and "Meghan."

·      Chrissy Teigen: Teigen has been spotted wearing an arts-and-crafts style bracelet with her children's names on her wrist.

·      Katie Holmes: Holmes has a gold pendant with a crystal-outlined initial "S" for her daughter, Suri.

There are countless other examples of Hollywood and non-Hollywood moms loving initial jewelry. Use these women as your inspiration as you consider a type of initial jewelry that may look great on you.

Types of Initial Jewelry

1. Mom Initial Necklace Gold

Dainty gold jewelry is all the rage. It's the best reminder that a little goes a long way. And fortunately, the initial necklace trend perfectly aligns with this idea. If you're looking for the perfect low-maintenance, everyday jewelry as a mom, go for an initial gold necklace. There are a variety of styles, so you can pick out precisely what works best for you. Consider this Single Initial Necklace if you want something beautifully simple. Personalized initial necklaces make the perfect gift.

2. Initial Bracelets for Mom

Bracelets are a simple and stylish way to dress up any outfit. Wearing a few pieces like a necklace, bracelet, and pair of earrings can make someone feel special and confident. That's why an initial bracelet is a great gift for your mom or any mom in your life. Here's a Diamond Initial Bracelet she may love or a twist on the same trend with a Gold Initial Anklet.

3. Initial and Birthstone Necklace for Mom

Not all moms love diamonds. Instead of selecting an initial necklace that's simply gold or has diamond accents, incorporate her birthstone or her children's birthstones. This additional detail makes it unique and personalized to your family.

Here's one example of a bracelet you can customize: Large Diamond Initial Necklace. While the product is pictured with diamonds, the gemstone (along with the metal type) can be altered. Consider including sapphire, blue topaz, ruby, emerald, etc., depending on your preference!

4. Initial Rings

Not all moms prefer necklaces and bracelets. Sometimes the best way to wear favorite initial is in the form of a ring. We love this Initial Pinky Ring as a subtle nod to your name, partner, or child. In addition to the initial, you can make various other customizations, including the metal type, gemstone, carat weight, font, length, and setting.

Initial Jewelry Occasions

Are you wondering why initial jewelry is everywhere these days? Here are some top reasons to buy or gift a personalized piece.

1. "I Want to Wear His Initial" Necklace

In 2017, Taylor Swift released the song "Call It What You Want." She wrote the following lyrics:

I want to wear his initial on a chain 'round my neck. Chain 'round my neck. Not because he owns me. But 'cause he really knows me 

Taylor has since been seen wearing a pendant necklace with the "J" initial for boyfriend Joe Alwyn.

Consider if there's a special someone who you want to wear an initial necklace for. Is there someone that holds your heart? This song makes initial charms a great graduation gift.

2. Push present for moms

A push present is a gift that a partner or family gives to a mother to mark the occasion of giving birth to her child. You might be curious about the push present origin. In Western society, push presents have only been around for the past couple of decades. However, there is a history of push presents being gifted in India for centuries. There is a ritual called the Godh Bharai where the new mom is showered with gifts and blessed with motherhood's joys.

Initial jewelry is an ideal push present for your wife. We recommend a baby initial necklace for every mom to honor her new little best friend. It allows you to commemorate this special moment in your family's history. If you want to gift luxury push present jewelry, we recommend jewelry that incorporates diamonds or the child's birthstone. We can make any pendant an engraved necklace. Add a special message or a child's birthday to the back.

3. Birthday jewelry for mom

Consider initial jewelry for your wife or mother as her birthday approaches. Birthday jewelry for mom is always a fairly safe gifting option as long as you know her style. Select the piece she's most likely to wear — a monogram necklace, bracelet, pair of earrings, etc. And think about whether she'd like her own monogram, a partner's initial, her children's initials, or even her grandchildren's initials. For an adoring grandma, initial jewelry for her 60th birthday gift incorporating her grandchildren could be a treasured present. Initial jewelry ranges from minimalist to out there, so make sure you capture her unique style!

4. Anniversary

Do you have an anniversary coming up? Consider designing a piece that involves both of your initials. There are countless options available when it comes to initials. You can engrave the initials on a symbol you two hold dear (a lock, moon, sun, bird, etc.) or choose something simpler like pendants sitting side by side. We love a heart necklace with an initial!

5. Mother's Day Gift

Mother's Day is the ideal opportunity to gift mom with something that symbolizes the tiny humans she brought to life (and helped keep alive since then). Mother's necklaces can often be the most fun to create from scratch because there are many different design elements and options. Necklace, bracelet, or anklet? Do you want to include your kids' birthstones as well as initials? What configuration of initials and stones do you like best? The sky is the limit, and Mom will receive something she loves and wears constantly at the end of the day! We love making a charm necklace that you can add to every year. Start with a letter necklace or name necklace, and then add mom's favorite color stone, locket, shapes, and more!

What initial necklace should I get?

Initial jewelry is one of the easiest items to style. If you're looking to layer your necklace, starting with a 7mm initial is always safe! At 7mm, any necklace will go with it! 7mm initials can be worn centered or asymmetrical.

If you want a more oversized look, try an initial pendant that is 15mm. When opting for a larger initial, we recommend a funkier font to draw the eye in. To capture attention, more oversized letter pendants can be worn on different chains such as a paperclip. If you like a larger pendant but are more of a minimalist, opt for an initial disc necklace.

Suppose you wear a necklace every day; initial necklaces will layer well with it. When layering, we recommend varying the chain length by 2". For example, If the necklace you wear every day is 16", get an initial necklace that is 14" or 18." We recommend going from light to heavy. That means put small initials at 14" and larger initials at 18." Bar necklaces always pair especially well with initial necklaces.

You can't go wrong with yellow gold, rose gold, or white gold. If you're buying jewelry as a gift, we recommend sticking to the metal type your recipient usually wears. However, if it's a gift for yourself - try mixing and matching. Get a gold necklace that's a little out of your norm!
