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).

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.

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!!

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.
She loved the necklace. Very artistic classy. Thank you.
