We are thrilled to introduce a new collection just in time for the holidays: handcrafted iInitial letter charms in sterling silver, with optional gold and gemstone customizations for special orders. These charms, available in letters A through Z plus the character “&,” are beautifully crafted with a luxurious heft. At $125 per charm, they make an exceptional personalized gift, and we’re offering 20% off each additional charm after your first letter charm purchase.
These charms aren't just jewelry; they’re a creative way to express yourself, celebrate loved ones, or spell out a little mischief. Whether you want to commemorate your children’s initials, string together an inspiring word like love or peace, or add a playful touch with cheeky phrases like FU or FRICK, the possibilities are endless.
The Inspiration Behind the Letter Charms
This collection began with a fascination: the timeless art of sealing wax and the satisfying impression of a stamped letter. I’ve always loved the old-world elegance of mailing letters sealed with melted wax, and I wanted to translate that into a piece of jewelry that felt equally luxurious and meaningful.
I started experimenting in my studio with sealing wax and industrial letter stamps, carefully observing the way the molten wax pooled and captured the stamped impressions. My goal was to mimic that imperfect, organic texture in metal. After much trial and error, I developed a process that retains the tactile beauty of melted wax while transforming it into a lasting, wearable piece of art.
The result is a collection of charms that carry the spirit of vintage letter seals—bold, sculptural, and full of character. Each letter is distinct and slightly irregular, giving the charms a handmade authenticity that sets them apart from mass-produced designs.
The Making of the Initial Letter Charms
Creating these charms was a labor of love. Each one begins as a wax model, stamped and shaped to achieve the perfect balance between old-world inspiration and modern sophistication. These wax prototypes are then cast in sterling silver using the lost-wax method, preserving every detail of the original design.
The silver charms are polished to a smooth, glowing finish while retaining the subtle texture that mimics the wax’s natural flow. For those seeking an even more bespoke option, the charms can be made in gold and set with gemstones—a dazzling choice for milestone gifts or heirloom-quality jewelry.
In the images below, you’ll see the full alphabet in its original wax form, showcasing the transformation from raw inspiration to finished piece.
A Thoughtful Holiday Gift
With their personal touch and timeless appeal, these alphabet charms are a perfect holiday gift for anyone on your list. Whether you’re shopping for a spouse, sibling, best friend, or even yourself, the charms offer endless possibilities for customization.
Here are some creative ways to make the charms your own:
Celebrate loved ones: Combine initials of family members (e.g., A, M, J for Alex, Mia, and Jack).
Spell meaningful words: String together words like hope, joy, or dream.
Have fun: Add a cheeky touch with phrases like naughty, nice, or something uniquely you.
Each charm can be hung on a chain as a pendant or added to an existing charm necklace or bracelet. Not starting from scratch? We’ve got you covered with new charm holders and links designed to integrate seamlessly into your current collection—or to help you kickstart a new one. (charm links coming to the website soon. In meantime, contact me and i'll email you the details.)
Why I’ve Always Wanted to Make Letter Charms
As a designer and mother, I’ve long dreamed of creating letter charms to represent my own children. There’s something deeply sentimental about carrying their initials close to my heart, and I wanted to offer that same joy to my customers. Even if you already have letter charms, there’s no such thing as too many! These pieces add variety and dimension to your charm collection while inviting you to get creative with your jewelry.
