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!
Wearing the Sorority bracelet just makes me feel connected to my southern heritage!!! I get so many compliments!!

Special to Me
I purchased this bracelet in silver some years ago at the Union Square Market in NYC. Organizing my jewelry the other day, I came across this bracelet amongst my special pieces and said to myself, where did I get this? I’d like to have more! Then I noticed your John Wind tag on the bracelet. OMG And that’s when I found you again. So glad I did thank you!
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).

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 have just purchased by second bracelet. I wore the first one so much that the finish came off. Is there any way to restore my old bracelet. I really love this piece of jewelry and have given it as gifts.

I couldn't wait to receive this bracelet in gold! I purchased a John Wind initial bracelet years ago and it is so well loved. When I saw that he was making this bracelet with a pearl charm, I had to get it. Pearl is my birth stone so it's a perfect match for me. Can't wait to get another one!
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.

Such a stunning, bold, beautiful necklace. Definitely a statement piece! Toggle clasp easy on, easy off. I’m thinking of purchasing the all silver version too. After all, you can never have too many John Wind initial pieces!!

I love both of my new purchases. I purchased a pearl necklace and large charm bracelet with a large cotton pearl charm, a couple of years ago at The Cummer Museum in Jacksonville, Fl
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.

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.
