Our best-selling design, this bracelet was inspired by Grace Kelly in Rear Window. In it she wears a bold gold bracelet with one dramatic charm, and John set out to recreate the look. On this version he added a 20mm cotton pearl to make it that much more special!
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. The perfect monogram gift!
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.

Beautiful in silver...and a bargain at Wise Jewelry in Kenansville NC: just 5 bucks for the coin (25 for the necklace).

Sorority Gal Cotton Pearl Initial 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.

This one is for the real John Wind collector—Your initial and a 20mm cotton pearl hang from a dramatic, triple link cable chain. The bracelet is then clasped with a cool, oversized toggle and ring modeled on a vintage original.
Two-tone is the most popular variation, though we also offer classic gold and silver~

I recently purchased the collectors sorority gal bracelet with the pearl. The bracelet is larger and really makes a statement. I got it in gold, as I already have a sorority gal bracelet in silver.
I also purchased the toggle sorority gal necklace to go with it and added the pearl to that. I wear the two pieces together or separately. Absolutely love them both.

This piece can be worn with casual attire and also dressy attire. It is so versatile.
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.
Vintage chandelier crystals from New York’s legendary Waldorf Astoria Hotel, now reinvented as modern jewels. These earrings feature matched crystals, suspended from an Art Deco-inspired construction.
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.

A sparkle of joy (me) and envy (others)
The picture of these earrings on the website - although absolutely stunning - is an understatement compared to what these increasingly pieces look like in real life. I spent a lot of time at the Waldorf attending memorable events and these remind me of those special times while dressing up any outfit. I look forward to wearing them to my next formal event in December.

I bought these earrings and the lariat necklace at the same time. They look fantastic together. Amazing to own a piece of history.

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.

Pearls with a twist... Our alligator clasp adds an unexpected surprise to classic baroque pearls. Modeled on a vintage original, the clasp is cast and plated by artisan workshops in Rhode Island.
The pearls are imported, and we do all the final assembly in-house.
Love anything that has a gator on it, especially with pearls! Is a beautiful bracelet and have the matching necklace and earrings. Unfortunately, I cannot keep this clasp closed and have dropped the bracelet several times to where I cannot wear it for fear of losing it.

I thought it was going to look and feel like a real crystal but it doesn't it looks like clear plastic not a crystal real crystal that you see color when light hits it. It looks cheap not what I expected. I love crystal and that's not a real crystal it's fake.

Amazing, beautiful and heartwarming!
These bracelets exceeded expectations in beauty and definitely hit the right nostalgia notes, since the Plaza is part of my NYC history/experience. I have been wearing them every day since they arrived in my mailbox and have gotten a million compliments. PLUS, the team was so helpful and responsive. Makes me want to buy all the gorgeous jewelry they create.
