Semi-precious Chandelier Initial Necklace
Vintage chandelier crystals from New York’s legendary Waldorf Astoria Hotel, now reinvented as modern jewels. Suspended from the delicate toggle closure are a crystal and our signature coin initials, creating a unique and feminine Y silhouette. Looks great layered with our Chandelier Lariat Necklace~
These crystals are from a vintage chandelier and have illuminated many celebrations and milestones over the years. While we select each carefully, there may be gentle signs of age on the surface and edges of some crystals. This is a sign of authenticity and part of the historic nature of the project.

The necklaces I ordered for my daughters are absolutely beautiful. They are a unique and personal gift. They were also nicely gift boxed.
Sparkles like crazy in the light—all the beautiful rainbow of colors! Just the right size for everyday wear. As with all my John Wind pieces, receive lots of compliments. With the toggle clasp easy on, easy off. Brings back heartfelt memories of visits to the Waldorf.
Love the neklace
When I was a little girl we would go to the Waldorf for tea or luncheon if you got good grades, or did something exceptionally well, such a treat! This beautiful piece of history that lays elegantly around your neck is amazing, absolutely amazing! The charm with my initial, the placement of the crystal and the delicate chain with its toggle clasp make you feel that you are getting ready for tea or luncheon in that beautiful hotel once again. I have worn it with a dress at dinner and with a t-shirt and jeans for drinks on the water, and received many compliments in the times that I have worn it out. Thank you John Wind!
I have wanted an initial piece for awhile now and I was waiting for the right one to come along. Well, this is it! Unique, beautifully crafted, and the joy of knowing a bit of the Waldorf is hanging around my neck, what could be better. Thank you, John, for a gorgeous addition to my collection. Once we return to.live events, the season will be even brighter with this around my neck.
