The black enamel is set perfectly flush inside the gold frame, creating a single, smooth surface. It's less like an inlay and more like the letter was printed directly onto a block of gold, giving it a solid, graphic look up close.
This is a single charm in the shape of the letter 'B', set in a classic, blocky serif font. A thick, polished 14k gold border frames the deep black enamel. The enamel is completely flat and glossy, catching the light like a pool of ink. The whole letter dangles from a small jump ring attached to a hinged clasp, which means you can easily clip it onto any chain or bracelet without needing tools.
We use solid 14-karat gold, not plated. It's 58.3% pure gold mixed with other alloys for strength, which means it’s tough enough to handle daily wear without bending or deforming. The black inlay is certified enamel, which is a type of powdered glass we fuse to the gold with intense heat. This process makes the colour permanent and highly resistant to scratching or chipping. It won't fade over time, and the glossy finish will stay that way.

Most letter charms are either scripty or very plain. This one has a weight and presence because of the blocky, serif font; it feels substantial. The hinged clasp is also a big deal—you can move it from a necklace to a bracelet yourself, whenever you want, without any tools.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will the black enamel on my Bold Letter charm chip or scratch easily?
A: The certified enamel on your Bold Letter charm is very durable and resistant to scratching from normal wear. It's a form of fused glass, so it's much harder than resin or paint. While a hard, sharp impact could potentially cause damage, it won't chip or flake off from day-to-day activities.
Q: Can I wear my 14k gold enamel charm in the shower or when I go swimming?
A: Yes, you can wear your 14k gold enamel charm in the shower. However, we recommend taking it off before swimming in pools or oceans. Chlorine and salt water can be harsh on the enamel's glossy finish over time and may dull the shine of the gold. A quick rinse after wearing is always a good idea.
Q: How will the Bold Letter charm sit on a thin chain versus a thick one?
A: The Bold Letter charm's hinged clasp is designed to fit a variety of chain thicknesses, up to about 2.5mm. On a thin chain, the charm will have more movement and hang freely. On a thicker chain, it will sit more snugly and stay in place, giving it a more integrated look.
Q: What happens if I receive my Bold Letter charm and decide it's not the right initial for me?
A: You can return your Bold Letter charm within 30 days of receiving it for a full refund or an exchange, as long as it's in its original condition. Just email us at returns@vanhess.ca, and we'll send you a prepaid shipping label to make the process easy.
Q: How long does free shipping to the United States take for a single 14k gold charm?
A: Free shipping on qualifying orders over $60 CAD to the US typically takes between 5 and 15 business days to arrive. Once your order is dispatched from our Coquitlam studio, you'll receive a tracking number so you can follow its journey to your door.
