Instead of a solid letter with stones set on top, this charm is built entirely from the settings themselves. Each round, bezel-set stone is a distinct link in the chain that forms the letter, creating a look that's both graphic and full of light.

This 'R' charm is constructed from 18 round, brilliant-cut stones. Each gem is completely enclosed in a polished 14K gold bezel, which gives it a clean, modern, and circular outline. These individual settings are then linked to form the letter, leaving small, open spaces between them. The effect is that the letter itself seems to float, defined by a series of bright, sparkling circles. A simple, polished bail sits at the top.

We make these from 14-karat solid gold, which means it's 58.3% pure gold alloyed with other metals for durability. The result is a piece that has the rich, warm colour of real gold but is strong enough to resist the dents and scratches of daily wear. It won't tarnish or discolour your skin. The stones are high-grade Cubic Zirconia, set in a full bezel. This means a rim of gold fully encircles each stone, which is the most secure setting you can have.

Most initial pendants are either a solid metal shape or a surface covered in pavé stones. This one is different. The letter’s structure *is* the series of stones and their settings. It gives the piece a lighter, more open feel and lets you see the outline of each individual gem clearly.
