Last year, if you had taken a peek at a 16-year-old girl’s holiday wish list, you probably would have seen some Rhode peptide lip tints, a Jellycat, and one of those bubble initial necklaces from Anthropologie. Almost 12 months later, not much has changed: Rhode products abound on Giftful wish lists, the Jellycat croissant is back in stock, and everyone — from Altar’d State to Kendra Scott — has released their own take on initial jewelry. Below, I rounded up all the best letter jewelry that’s available online, including some no-poke earrings and several charms that pair well with a chain. The holidays are still several weeks away, so the popular letters — think A and J — are still in stock, but it’s best not to wait. We’ll be stuck with only Z and Y before we know it.
