At Waxing Poetic, our stunningly handcrafted letter charms are among our most popular products, and it’s not hard to see why. The simple, single-lettered style makes them exceptionally versatile and meaningful. Use them to honor someone you love or to give your charm bracelets and necklaces a feel that makes them totally you. Just like all of our lovingly crafted jewelry, these letter and monogram charms often have deep meaning and symbolism, so they’re perfect for helping you illustrate your very own journey, no matter where you’ve been or where you’re going.
Waxing Poetic letter charms are greatly cherished by our customers. In fact, the letter charm was the very first charm created by Waxing Poetic back in 2001. Inspired by a love of wax seal initial jewelry, we desired to create our own versions of a type of jewelry that has been popular for centuries. Our founders cast it from a wax seal in order to create a very sacred and personalized way to mark emotion — something they believed was much-needed, though somewhat forgotten. That original (though slightly updated) design is still alive and well at Waxing Poetic with the gorgeous Century Insignia Charm. This pretty revival of an old-fashioned classic symbolizes endless growth and change, so it’s ideal for celebrating big milestones and new stages of life.

The Inspiration Behind Waxing Poetic Initial Charms and Other Jewelry:
Wax seal initial jewelry has a fascinating history, and we want to share a bit of it with you to give you an idea of why we chose such a unique name for our company.
Beginning around the 16th century, document writers used wax seals to securely close letters, both to identify the sender (often done with a signet ring) and to ensure against tampering. It is these traditions — that of the decorative wax seals and the men’s insignia rings — that inspire our line of initial charms, pendants and initial jewelry rings.
Custom crafted by highly skilled artisans from sterling silver, brass and creative combinations of both, our initial charms, monogram pendants and monogram rings are highly personal adornments that celebrate the individual.
Waxing Poetic Letter Charms and Pendants
Whether it’s a gift for a family member or a beloved friend, a Waxing Poetic insignia charm is a delightful way to let a person know that they’re special. While we’re often taught to care for other people, self-love is just as vital. Our beautifully designed sterling silver and brass initial charms are smart and sophisticated, whether you choose a more understated design or something more ornate and decorative. We also have monogram silver pendants with brass initials, available with two or three initials and in sans serif or serif lettering.
These handcrafted letter charms and pendants are ideal for creating a unique initial jewerly necklace for yourself and for special people in your life.
Handsomely Styled Monogram Rings
Since ancient Greece and Rome, officers and world leaders wore signet rings. Their first use was as a means of marking a document that was as trustworthy as a signature to ensure its authenticity. The signet ring then went on to signify status and nobility and were extremely valuable. Even today, they’re used by certain fraternities and by men of distinction. Our monogram rings continue this noble tradition, and they are elegantly styled in sterling silver with brass lettering.
