Natural diamond letter Y pendant: an elegant momentum
The Y of Yann, Yves, Yasmine, or Yanis—a graceful and balanced letter, set with genuine natural diamonds. A piece of jewelry full of refinement.
Natural diamond: a timeless rarity
The Y is paved with earth-mined natural diamonds, chosen for their purity and brilliance. A precious, certifiable gemstone, made to be passed down.
Two branches reaching for the light
The open arms of the Y capture light from above, anchored by a stable base for harmonious shine. An elegant initial, superb as a name pendant.

A gold and diamond letter pendant built to last
The letter Y is cut from the metal and then hand-set, stone by stone, to the very edges of the design. Nothing is printed or glued: each diamond has its own setting.
This is what distinguishes a real gold and diamond letter pendant from an engraved plaque. The pavé follows the typography of the letter, ensuring the initial remains legible from a distance while sparkling up close.
You then choose the metal—925 sterling silver or genuine 10k, 14k, or 18k gold—and the finish. An 18-karat gold letter pendant in yellow gold gives the initial a warm, classic presence; in white gold, the same gold initial pendant becomes cooler and more contemporary. Rose gold, rarer, softens the lines and works particularly well in smaller sizes.
The Y, an initial to wear
Wearing your initial is the most direct way to personalize jewelry without engraving. The Y works just as well for yourself as it does for the initial of a loved one: partner, child, or parent.
Its fork-like shape—two branches coming together—is often read as a symbol of choice or a path. It is an uncommon initial, rarely seen on someone else.

How to wear it: which chain to pair it with
The bail is integrated, but the chain is not included. This is not an oversight: it is the necklace that defines the final style of the piece.
-
1 and 1.5-inch sizes — a fine chain, worn short between 45 and 50 cm. A discreet format, perfect for daily wear or layered with a second, longer chain.
-
2-inch size — a medium chain, between 50 and 55 cm: the initial sits at the center of the chest and remains readable from a distance.
-
2.5 and 3-inch sizes — a wide Cuban chain and a length of 60 cm or more. The letter hangs low, breathes, and becomes the centerpiece of your outfit.
-
Wearing two initials — to combine two names on the same chain, keep the same size and finish, and choose a slightly longer length so they remain legible side by side.
-
Finish consistency — white gold with white gold, yellow gold with yellow gold: intentional mixing works, but accidental mixing is immediately noticeable.
Compatible chains can be found in our diamond chains and Cuban chains collections.
Natural diamond: what you are really buying
A diamond initial pendant made with natural stones is not just a piece of jewelry: it is a gem formed underground, extracted, cut, and set. Its rarity is geological, not industrial—and that is the foundation of its heirloom value.
On an initial, this choice takes on special meaning: the stone that transcends time meets the letter that designates a person. This is the type of piece that you pass on, not replace.
Maintaining your pendant
- Rinse with lukewarm water and a drop of mild soap, brush the pavé with a very soft-bristled brush, and dry with a microfiber cloth.
- Remove before swimming, entering the sea, exercising, or sleeping: chlorine, salt, and friction are the true enemies of a gemstone setting.
- Store it flat in its Emirice box, without letting it rub against other jewelry.
- Perfume and cream should be applied before putting it on, never after.
Frequently asked questions
Is the chain included with the pendant?
No. The bail is integrated into the pendant, but the chain is chosen separately so that you can adjust the link style, length, and finish to your body type and personal style.
Can I wear multiple initials on the same chain?
Yes. It is a common practice to combine two names. Choose the same size and finish for each letter, and plan for a slightly longer chain so they remain legible side by side.
Are the diamonds real diamonds?
Yes. This pendant is paved with earth-mined natural diamonds, selected for their purity and brilliance, and hand-set. The metal is hallmarked, and a certificate can be provided upon request for gold versions.
