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.

Initial necklace
Really like the sorority gal pearl initial necklace but would like for it to be a bit smaller in size.
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.

I was originally introduced to John Wind jewelry, when my best girlfriend gave me a silver sorority gal bracelet years ago.
I recently purchased the gold toggle sorority gal initial necklace and added the pearl to it. I also got the collector’s gold toggle sorority gal initial pearl bracelet, to go with the necklace. I couldn’t be more thrilled with my new jewelry!! Thank you John Wind for being willing to make exactly what I wanted!

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!!

Togel Sorority Gal Initial Necklace
Bought this in two tone. Picture doesn’t do it justice. Beautiful memory of a time passed. Packaging beautiful as well.
Pure artistry.
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.

Classic with a twist! We call this our Universal chain because it is just the right weight and so versatile—Wear it short or long, with a collection of charms clipped to the large ring.
I absolutely adore this necklace. It is the perfect length, worn either short or long, and looks fresh and modern while giving a hint of a throwback feel. Love it!

Love the length and the quality!
First, the quality is amazing. Gorgeous silver shine (I want a gold one now too!) and I love the look and quality of the weave of the chain. Next, the convertible necklace is FABULOUS. I wasn't sure what the length would be or if I would like it both ways but I love it both ways ;). As a long chain it hits mid torso I guess you'd call it...traditional long hanging necklace length which I wear a lot. Doubled it hits mid chest and it's length plus the charms is perfect for a v-neck.
John and his team were great at customizing everything for me and great customer service. Such nice people!

Best Versatile Necklace
This was my first piece of John Wind Jewelry and I was hooked. I began using it as a long necklace with a couple of charms, then added charms and wore it short with charms on both layers. The versatility was endless and the compliments I received due to the quality of the charms and the chain came every time I wore it. I began giving it as gifts and every person who received one LOVED it. From that day on two years ago I was hooked. Everything I have bought since then has been 100% quality and made with love. His work is outstanding!

We’ve brought together two favorites-- An iconic bee charm and delicate, hand wire-wrapped pearls. Necklace adjusts from 16-18”. Wear it on its own or layered for a personalized look.
I love the necklace, its beautiful and made well, and was packaged with care. it was given to me as a gift by my husband. My only issue is the total measurements are 17” and will adjust from 16”-17”, fits more like a choker than a necklace. I would have like the extra length so the bee sits a little lower.
Hi Holly!!

John started making jewelry in early 1980's London; The original punk aesthetic had found it's way into clubs and the fashion world, with safety pins, chain, and tons of charms layered on everyone from Culture Club to Madonna. With Punk It Up, we look back into our own early archive, riff on some classics, and create some fun conversation-starting jewlery. The whole collection is made in our studio, and many of the parts are geniune vintage from our 30+year archive.

I absolutely love my custom charm bracelet!! The charm selections were perfect!!! All the charms and the bracelet itself are made of quality materials. I will definitely be ordering more for gifts!!
I love this necklace, I can't rave about it enough. The entire process was really cool and it was awesome to have so much input on the piece. I've already received so many compliments on my necklace in the month or so of wearing it. I can't recommend this item enough! John and team did a wonderful job of accommodating my requests and I'm delighted with the result!
