Thoughtful and personalised, initial jewellery is the kind of gift that’s perfect for any milestone, whether that’s a birthday or anniversary. From letter necklaces to birthstone bracelets, the jewellery style also has timeless appeal – think Carrie Bradshaw’s signature necklace or Kate Middleton’s monogrammed pieces.
Whether you’re shopping for a loved one or after a sentimental piece for yourself, Lily & Roo’s initial jewellery range starts from just £45. Founded in 2018, the jewellery label makes all its pieces from recycled silver and gold from a studio in Hatton Garden, London.
Its goal is to make beautiful jewellery at affordable price points, with the label becoming a go-to destination for special occasions. Its bridal pieces are bestsellers while the personalised pieces make the perfect keepsake.
Though perennially chic, initial jewellery has had a resurgence in the last year. Kristen Bell’s character Joanne in Nobody Wants This made a case for chunky initial necklaces while Taylor Swift wore her ‘T’ necklace to the Superbowl and went on to repurpose it as a thigh chain for the Grammys.
So, whether you’re leaning into the timeless trend this season or looking for a thoughtful gift for a loved one, these are the best Lily & Roo initial jewellery pieces to shop now.
