The Y for Yanis, Yasmine, Yves, or Yann — a graceful letter, two branches opening onto a stable base. Set with lab-grown diamonds, it combines momentum and balance.
The Y is paved with genuine lab-grown diamonds (CVD/HPHT), identical to mined diamonds: 10/10 Mohs, D-F / VVS clarity, brilliant white fire. An ethical origin at a controlled price.
The two branches of the Y open toward the light while its base anchors it: the sparkle rises and radiates. An elegant and symbolic initial, between choice and momentum.

Wearing a letter is not about wearing a pattern: it is about wearing a name. That of Yanis, Youssef, Yasmine, or Yara, your own, or that of someone who matters. This is what distinguishes a gold letter pendant from any other pendant: it says nothing to others and everything to you.
The Y offers a fork open toward the top, both understated and unique, and that is decisive: the construction of a letter determines how it catches the light once paved with lab-grown diamonds. The Y is among the initials rarely available in store displays, as shops stop at common letters — which is why we produce the entire alphabet.
A lab-grown diamond is a diamond: same carbon, same structure, same hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale. Only its origin changes, as it is grown instead of mined — therefore, it can never be called natural. This is what makes a gold and diamond letter pendant accessible where a natural stone would impose a much more modest pavé. Not to be confused with moissanite or cubic zirconia.
925 Silver is the entry level, very white, which oxidizes in air. 10K gold is the hardest of the four and the most scratch-resistant. 14K gold offers the best strength-to-content ratio for daily wear. 18K gold has the deepest color, but it is the softest metal.
Not included, it is what determines the wearing height: 50 cm near the collarbone, 55 to 60 cm on the sternum, 65 cm and longer for a low hang. A 3-inch piece on a thin chain will sag and strain the clasp.

No, the pendant is sold on its own, with an integrated bail. A letter pendant necklace consists of: the letter and its size first, then a chain whose thickness follows the weight.
Yes: it is one of the few pieces of jewelry where the gender depends on the format, not the design. A men's letter pendant is usually chosen in 2 to 3 inches on a thick chain, a women's initial necklace in 1 to 1.5 inches on a thin chain.
For daily wear, 14K gold handles friction better. The 18-karat gold letter pendant, on the other hand, offers a deeper color and a more flattering density in the hand.
