Sorority Gal Cotton Pearl Initial Bracelet
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.
Materials Include:
- Oxidized sterling silver finished brass
- Gold-Plated finished brass
- 20mm Spun cotton dipped in pearl lacquer
- Lobster claw closure
- 8" bracelet
The bracelet is beautiful and great quality. So glad I purchased it.
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!
This is the third Joh Wind I have purchased. I will be gifting this to a person who has”everything” and know she will love it.
This spring I had the pleasure of meeting John Wind at Grounds for Sculpture in New Jersey. He was selling his jewelry by the gift shop and I absolutely love jewelry and found myself drawn to his table. I was admiring the Sorority Gal Cotton Pearl Initial Bracelet when he asked if I was interested in anything and I mentioned this bracelet reminded me of a bracelet Grace Kelly wears if one of my favorite films Rear Window. I was drawn to it. He said without skipping a beat that the exact bracelet I just mentioned inspired him to create the Sorority Gal Cotton Pearl Initial Bracelet. To say our meeting was fate is a serious understatement. We connected and in my eyes share the same passion for fashion. I am now a proud owner of John Wind jewelry and look forward to being a lifelong customer. The best part of our meeting was when he told me his mother was a sculptor and one of her sculptures was at the grounds. That was extra special. Definitely recommend his jewelry and you should add to cart ASAP!
As soon as I saw this bracelet come across my facebook page I knew I had to have it. It reminded me of Grace Kelly's bracelet in Rear Window. So I went on the website, and amazingly the description even mentioned Grace Kelly. Well I got the bracelet, and I can attest that it is classy, timeless, and beautiful just like Grace Kelly. Love it!!

4. We will email you a photo of the bracelet, laid out but not yet assembled. You’ll have the opportunity to give feedback, changing up to 3 charms.
5. We then assemble the final bracelet and send it to you! Every bracelet ships in a beautiful gift box, along with a certificate of authentication signed by John.

I am in LOVE with my custom bracelet! It is absolutely stunning and better than I could have ever imagined. When I was sent a picture before they finalized the bracelet, I made a note of wanting a bit more color. John and his team went above and beyond and made my vision come to life. His creative mind delivered tenfold! Highly recommend this small business and John’s exceptional eye for detail and design. I will without a doubt be a returning customer in the future for gifts and myself!
To say that the craftsmanship is 1st class is an understatement! I loved the customization of this bracelet and the communication while planning it was exceptional! ❤️
I decided to treat myself to this very special, custom bracelet. It’s absolutely beautiful, one of a kind. I now plan to purchase for my daughter as well!
Fantastic gift for a friend. She cried with each charm. They changed a few charms in the design, and the bracelet was perfect! A pleasure to work with.
when I saw this charm bracelet in person I started tearing up bc I knew my daughter would love it for her 18th birthday. I really appreciate how thoughtful John Wind was in picking the charms for her from what I told him. I haven't given it to my daughter yet, but I am certain she will adore it. Especially when I tell her that I told an Artist about her and he picked the charms for her. Such a beautiful piece that I imagine lasting a life time!

I have been wearing John Wind jewelry for over 20 years , and yes , I have some beautiful original vintage pieces. But the New sorority gal bracelet is gorgeous . I get asked “where did you get that “? Every time I wear it. It is a stunning piece that I will add to my collection. Thank you so much for another treasure ! 💖
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!

They were absolutely beautiful!!
I use to work in retail and sold JW jewelry. It’s very good quality merchandise. I actually have matching pieces.
This was a perfect gift for a hard to buy for family member- she loved them. The purchase was easy and arrived sooner than anticipated. Also, the packaging was lovely.
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.
Just love my earrings. They are so pretty on and I felt beautiful wearing them. Will cherish them always!!
