I wear them all of the time too. I got a "mrs" necklace for myself and my bestie too. The owner's fantastic to work with. Right now, she's making me a 7th anniversary necklace in copper with roman numerals.</p> <p><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/294465871/dainty-personalized-birthstone-necklace?ref=shop_home_active_10" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/294465871/dainty-personalized-birthstone-necklace?ref=shop_home_active_10</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/perfect-initial-necklace/page/2#post-2622465 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 21:25:24 +0000 pregnantbee 2622465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@OldpuebloJenn: Pretty!

My 4yo felt the same way when I showed him I wore his letter. I do have a necklace with just his initial, too :) I'm worried that 16" is too short for me. I tend to like 17", but I don't know if they can do that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/perfect-initial-necklace/page/2#post-2603631 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 16:58:51 +0000 stratosphere 2603631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pregnantbee: mine is the 16" and I love the length. My just-turned-2-yr-old learned the first letter of her name months ago (before I weaned her at 17 mos) due to her fascination with holding the letter on this necklace while she nursed. I think she felt very proud when I explained I wear the special necklace every day because it is "her" letter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/perfect-initial-necklace/page/2#post-2603595 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 13:25:41 +0000 SweetiePie 2603595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: I was just about to add that I have that one :-) It's perfect!<br /> I do still loooove the Maya Brenner ones though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/perfect-initial-necklace/page/2#post-2603584 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 11:37:40 +0000 pregnantbee 2603584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stratosphere: Nice to know it is so durable. Did you get 16" or 18"? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/perfect-initial-necklace/page/2#post-2603496 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 23:31:16 +0000 stratosphere 2603496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: Love it!</p> <p>I also have a Maya Brenner and I have worn it every day since I got it as a bday gift from my best friend almost two years ago (my bday was a few months after LO #1 was born). She has yanked on it soooo many times and it has never broken (white gold). I will be getting another one with LO#2's initial after he is born. I will just wear the two necklaces layered. That necklace helped me so much when I went back to work - I would touch the letter every time I missed my baby and it helped me for some reason. Weird, I guess, but you do what you have to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/perfect-initial-necklace/page/2#post-2603324 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 14:47:42 +0000 wrkbrk 2603324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can add to this now since I got my initial necklace for mother's day!

The letters don't really flip, but the necklace rotates around my neck when I sleep / throughout the day, so I have to adjust at least once a day. I have the 16" chain .. Might be different with a longer chain! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/perfect-initial-necklace/page/2#post-2603227 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 11:12:21 +0000 pregnantbee 2603227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: Pulling up this old thread bc I'm in search of a new initial necklace now that my daughter is here. With this necklace, do you find that the letters flip over and need to be fixed frequently?

I have Valentine's Day, our 5 year wedding anniversary, my birthday, and DS2's arrival in February, March, April, and May so I have to come up with junk for DH to get me! I've always wanted the Tiffany ladybug charm on a chain, so maybe I'll get one and add a letter charm for each kiddo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/perfect-initial-necklace#post-2447785 Wed, 03 Feb 2016 13:54:04 +0000 MrsLonghorn 2447785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I love it, in part because it is teeny tiny. I don't have a great picture for you, but here is one... you can sort of see the shirt button to the left of the M. I've had it for a little over a year, and it is on a delicate chain, so I didn't wear it while DS was in his big grabby phase. </p> [attach=5008/16/o1zj7k.600x450.necklace.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/perfect-initial-necklace#post-2447663 Wed, 03 Feb 2016 12:42:10 +0000 ShootingStar 2447663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMini: Do you have a pic by any chance?
