Our True Classic Vintage Initial Necklace is a must have for even the most modest of jewelry connoisseur. The history of the initial necklace goes back to Henry VIII second wife Anne Boleyn. We all know the story the king ordered her beheaded in 1536, that's when he demanded all portraits of her to be destroyed. Though one remained and hangs regally in the National Portrait Gallery in London. That's where you will find the mother of Queen Elizabeth I wearing her gold and pearl "B" pendant. No one knows what happened to this piece, some say it was melted down and merged with the Imperial State Crown. Today it's a symbol of individuality and strength and conveys a sense of remembrance. The initial dangles elegantly from an oval chain with tubes and comes with a 3 inch extender. These make great gifts and never go out of style!
