One of my jewelers made this “W” initial pendant for me for my 40th birthday. I’ve been wearing it a lot lately. I only wear my own designs, so it’s rare that I get a jewelry gift that I can wear. MrB got me quite a bit of beautiful jewelry back in the day but, sadly, that’s all stored in a safe deposit box. Because this one is from my own jeweler, I feel it counts as “my” jewelry.
Note the lily-like shapes in the W.
One of the things that is not being brought to you by the letter W — or the letters E, N, D or Y — is the next part of my A Distant Mirror book club post. I had one finished but realized I could organize things better for y’all. I don’t want you to endure any less-than-stellar book posts. Check back next week.
Gorgeous W!
That is beautiful! Definitely worthy of your name…or initial…
You don’t look a day over 26, m’dear. Enjoy being 40, of course, but I’m jus’ sayin’.
Hi there-thats a fabulous necklace, unique and stunning, like its owner!
Wow, that is one gorgeous W! ‘C’ just wouldn’t be as stunning…

So beautiful piece!

It’s very pretty. And also the name of my favourite fashion magazine. Perfect!
You’re 40? I always thought, you’re 25 or perhaps 30! Cool…
Oh, I love it! I bet it is gorgeous on you.
That’s a lovely letter “W,” miss WendyB!
I especially like this b/c it’s not immediately evident that it’s a letter. So gracefully detailed.
As for jewelery in safe deposit box, I think ALL THE TIME about the design of a home storage device. Whether one is protecting it b/c of value or sentiment, it does not serve us well that the main place our best jewelry lives is a BANK. I have some ideas but am not writing them here so every burglar in the world can read them.
This is such a cute initial necklace!
LOVE IT!!!
your jeweler should feel pretty honored that your rocking the “W’. It’s so pretty!
Really stunning! I adore unique typeface!

That necklace is gorgeous!
Wow… I love this.
I also love that I assumed we were the same age-ish.
Hot Wendy B. HOT.
Wow, so pretty!
Aww it’s really pretty!
That’s such a thoughtful gift. And may I say, BEAUTIFUL. Such an elegant variation on the letter design. xx
that’s so quintessentially the perfect jewelry gift. filled with thoughtfulness and beauty! i love the abstraction of the letter – there are so many ‘literal’ initial/name plate necklaces out there that end up looking tacky…
this looks like an heirloom-in-the-making!
Gorgeous design!
