Whether we are scribbling our names on soft sandy beaches, a dusty car windshield or go all the way to imprint tattoos on our bodies, we inadvertently try to leave our marks on tangible objects to call them our own and feel a sense of possession.

Conclusion:
When I began writing this blog post, I wanted to avoid the usual mall type jewellery that is sold everywhere and dig deep and wide to find iterations crafted by independent designers. Although, I have listed just one initial type for each of the designer, they of course have the whole series available to suit your name type.
Initials jewelry make for a wonderful gift, be it for someone’s birthday, anniversary or graduation gifts or just as a self purchase because they look so fabulous and make for a cute reminder to be ourselves always.
The internet is a big and wonderful place with lots of interesting content, although we would love for you to remember us and visit us often, we can easily slip out of your radar and could never meet again!
