Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are the couple of the moment. Obviously, anyone linked to Taylor will make news since she's the biggest pop star out there right now. Throw in the fact that it's almost Valentine's Day and that the Kansas City Chiefs are playing in the Super Bowl and it's totally understandable why there's so much interest. What interests us, though, is the fact that Travis gifted Taylor a TNT initial bracelet, standing for Taylor 'n' Travis. Now we're sure you're having flashbacks to your one middle school romance or maybe even Troy Bolton offering Gabriella Montez his necklace in High School Musical 2. But initial jewelry can be elegant. No, really.
We uncovered everything from necklaces to bracelets to rings and even earrings that won't make you feel like a kid again. These picks are way more grown-up and are worthy of flaunting on Instagram. Especially if you stack them. Choose between gold, silver or rose gold. Feel free to mix metals, though.
In the necklace category, there's certainly lots to choose from. There are edgy textured characters, molten monograms, cube pendants and bold block letters. The rings are super slim so you can layer your initials along with your SO's. Just make sure you arrange them in such a way that each initial is visible, even if you're the only one who knows what each one really stands for. Faux pearl accents add some charm to the bracelets. (These aren't your old-school friendship kind, after all.) While earrings make statements in unique fonts.
Here's the most sophisticated initial jewelry around. They make great Valentine's Day gifts, too. Not currently in a relationship? Use your own initials and treat yourself to something lovely. Or buy your bestie one to celebrate Galentine's Day. Most of the prices are reasonable so you can afford to show some love to your whole crew.
