Semi-precious Chandelier Initial Necklace
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.

Customer Reviews
The necklaces I ordered for my daughters are absolutely beautiful. They are a unique and personal gift. They were also nicely gift boxed.
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.

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!
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.

This is a super cute bracelet, and I want to love it 100% however there is a little flaw that I had to fix myself. Where the wire is wrapped around the bracelet near the charm and initial, it's super sharp. I scratched my wrist twice, to the point that it broke the skin, so I had to take pliers and dull that edge. Other than that it's very cute!
Hi Jessica,
Thanks for the review and so sorry about the sharp wire! We normally tuck in those sharp points, but evidently we missed it this time.
Sounds like you took care of it, but if it needs any further attention, we’re here to help you out.
Enjoy,
John

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.
Very pretty! Got it for a friend...
I love everything about this necklace (I purchased in silver). It is beautifully crafted and the compliments keep coming.
Really like the sorority gal pearl initial necklace but would like for it to be a bit smaller in size.

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.
I ordered this to match my toggle necklace but it’s much bigger and not the same color. Beautiful bracelet but doesn’t match
Loved the bracelet … bought one for my sister as well.
I totally love this bracelet!!!
This piece can be worn with casual attire and also dressy attire. It is so versatile.
