More than just letters, our initials embody the essence of our journey, personal growth, and unique identity. They weave together threads of joy, nostalgia, and a deep sense of belonging within the tapestry of our lives. Through her passion for both nature and jewelry, artist Wendee Daelhousen beautifully merges these elements by transforming your beloved initial into a gold-plated pendant featuring botanical-inspired details. To create letters, Wendee starts each character by creating an original wax model. A casting of the letter is then created from sterling silver before she produces a batch casting mold out of zinc alloy. Her 1"" pendants and chain are plated with an extra-thick 18-carat gold. The 18"" chain is delicately cut and split, then adorned with the pendant securely attached to both ends using jump rings. Made in Georgia.
