A seasonal transition is upon us, a time when consumers seek to buy the latest fashions and accessories in which to welcome it.
It’s often a period of reinvention—or reinvigoration. Even for those who have long outgrown their years of formal education, there’s a back-to-school feel in the air that inspires, both outward and inward.
Letter jewelry can help to do both. Beautiful in its appearance—and impressive variety—it’s a jewelry store staple that seems to get better year after year. And it reliably carries with it a sentimentality that should have customers feeling their best when wearing it.
First day at a new school? A shining initial or nameplate reminds the wearer to have confidence in herself as she discovers her path. New baby, or celebrating a milestone birthday? This type of jewelry is the perfect thing to mark such an occasion. And as the holiday season approaches, letter jewelry—be it an initial, a word, or a phrase—is a classic choice for a wide array of shoppers.
For those who collect letter jewelry, as well as for shoppers just getting started, there are so many new entries to the market to tempt a gift or self-purchase. Below, a sampling of the newest initial and word jewels for fall and beyond.
