E is one of the most common first letters in English names - Emma, Emily, Eleanor, Elise, Elena, Eva, Evelyn, Elizabeth - which means this initial necklace reaches one of the widest circles of potential wearers. In 5/16" block letter form in 10K yellow gold, the E's three horizontal lines read graphically at the collarbone: geometric and clear. The simplicity of the block letter format gives E its precision - this is not a script initial with curving flourishes but a clean, modern interpretation of a first letter. Adjustable 18-20" box chain in 10K yellow gold with spring ring clasp. Made in Italy. 10K solid gold carries real precious metal value and will not tarnish or fade. For the Emma or Emily or Eleanor who wants a piece of fine jewelry that references who she is rather than what is currently fashionable, this is the right choice.
