Vintage chandelier crystals from New York’s legendary Waldorf Astoria Hotel, now reinvented as modern jewels. Suspended from the delicate toggle closure are a crystal and our signature coin initials, creating a unique and feminine Y silhouette. Looks great layered with our Chandelier Lariat Necklace~
These crystals are from a vintage chandelier and have illuminated many celebrations and milestones over the years. While we select each carefully, there may be gentle signs of age on the surface and edges of some crystals. This is a sign of authenticity and part of the historic nature of the project.
*If longer chain is preferred, please comment in the notes section for a length of 19"

Sparkles like crazy in the light—all the beautiful rainbow of colors! Just the right size for everyday wear. As with all my John Wind pieces, receive lots of compliments. With the toggle clasp easy on, easy off. Brings back heartfelt memories of visits to the Waldorf.

Swanky and nostalgic -- like the Waldorf
When I was a little girl we would go to the Waldorf for tea or luncheon if you got good grades, or did something exceptionally well, such a treat! This beautiful piece of history that lays elegantly around your neck is amazing, absolutely amazing! The charm with my initial, the placement of the crystal and the delicate chain with its toggle clasp make you feel that you are getting ready for tea or luncheon in that beautiful hotel once again. I have worn it with a dress at dinner and with a t-shirt and jeans for drinks on the water, and received many compliments in the times that I have worn it out. Thank you John Wind!

Stunning!
I have wanted an initial piece for awhile now and I was waiting for the right one to come along. Well, this is it! Unique, beautifully crafted, and the joy of knowing a bit of the Waldorf is hanging around my neck, what could be better. Thank you, John, for a gorgeous addition to my collection. Once we return to.live events, the season will be even brighter with this around my neck.

Product Details:
18” overall length, can be clasped anywhere along chain
A wardrobe staple and the perfect layering piece~ Customers love the contrast of the large coin on fine chain, as well as the whimsical addition of a 10mm cotton pearl.
The initial coins are hand-pressed in a New England jewelry factory that has been making them since the original heyday of sororities in the 1950’s, hence the name. John rediscovered them over ten years ago, and they have since become our signature design, featured on Oprah’s O List and worn by thousands of fans nation-wide.
Beautiful in silver...and a bargain at Wise Jewelry in Kenansville NC: just 5 bucks for the coin (25 for the necklace).

When I received my necklace I was really disappointed because the way it was packaged. It took me 35 minutes to untangle the necklace and I felt like it should have been packaged better. I love my necklace.

Really like the sorority gal pearl initial necklace but would like for it to be a bit smaller in size.

A classic link, updated by ‘filing’ the chain for a flat, modern profile.
A wardrobe staple by itself, a layering piece, or a new way to wear your charms~
A bolder way to wear your initial~ The Front toggle closure and hand-antiqued double cable chain add an artisan vibe to a classic piece.

I was originally introduced to John Wind jewelry, when my best girlfriend gave me a silver sorority gal bracelet years ago.
I recently purchased the gold toggle sorority gal initial necklace and added the pearl to it. I also got the collector’s gold toggle sorority gal initial pearl bracelet, to go with the necklace. I couldn’t be more thrilled with my new jewelry!! Thank you John Wind for being willing to make exactly what I wanted!

Togel Sorority Gal Initial Necklace
Bought this in two tone. Picture doesn’t do it justice. Beautiful memory of a time passed. Packaging beautiful as well.
Pure artistry.
A fine chain with a little surprise...Pierced oval stations punctuate this vintage find and add interest all the way around. To accentuate the details, John went with a two-tone look. Ideal for one, two or three charms clustered together.
Product Details:
16-18" length
Original vintage brass chain, freshly plated gold and silver
A fine chain with a little twist... literally! Twisted wire stations punctuate this vintage find and add interest all the way around. Ideal for one, two or three charms clustered together.

Having fun with chain~ We alternate double golden links with clear acrylic ones for a surprising necklace that is both bold and ethereal; classic and right now! John deconstructs both chains and manually (and magically) creates a new necklace~
When one plus one equals three—We alternate double links of classic tortoise with quilted metal links for an update on Madison Avenue style. John deconstructs both chains and manually (and magically) creates a new necklace~
I bought this necklace as a gift for a friend who was moving from NYC, and I loved it so much I had to get one for myself! It is so beautiful, and I cannot wait to wear it for all types of occasions with the matching bracelet!
Custom charm bracelet for graduation. The charm bracelet was beautiful, better than a thought. I can’t wait to give it to her. I have serval pieces myself. I may need to add a charm bracelet to my collection.
