Disc, charm or cross
Three ways a letter is worn here
The letter is the same idea in three formats, and the format decides where it sits and how often you see it.
A stamped disc rides between two chains, so the letter turns face up as the wrist moves. This is the format 59 of the pieces here use.
A letter hangs beside a sunflower on an 18+2.5 inch chain, long enough to clear a crew neck and short enough to show above a collar.
Not a letter at all: a cross set upright or lying sideways, which is the piece people buy when the initial is not the point.

The MONOZO story
We started with one letter and a bad clasp
MONOZO began in 2017 with a single disc bracelet and a clasp that gave up in a week. The letter was the easy part. Holding it on a wrist through washing up, coat sleeves and a night of sleep turned out to be the whole job, and it took three tries to get a chain that survived it.
Where a thin piece gives way
A piece here is thin on purpose: nobody wears a heavy initial twice. So the money goes into the three places that actually break.
- 1The jump ringWhere the disc hangs off the chain. It opens under a sleeve before anything else does.
- 2The clasp springThe part that gives up first on a cheap bracelet, usually in the first fortnight.
- 3The fold in the chainWhere a chain doubles over itself, the plating wears through and the base metal shows.
Two tones, both plated
Plating is a surface layer over a base metal, not solid metal. The maker states 14K and 18K for it, and calls the pieces hypoallergenic, nickel free and lead free. Those are the maker's words and we print them as the maker's words.
- Gold tone50 pieces
- Silver tone25 pieces
Sizes stay deliberately narrow
There is no chart to read and no size to get wrong. That is the reason a letter makes such a good gift: you need the initial and nothing else.
- 6+2 in 59 pieces
- 16+2 in 10 pieces
- 18+2.5 in 6 pieces
What plating does not do
A surface layer wears at the points that rub. Perfume, chlorine and a hot shower take it off faster. At these prices a piece is a season or several, not an heirloom.
| On a bracelet | The disc and the clasp | They meet a sleeve and a tap every day |
|---|---|---|
| On a necklace | The back of the chain | It sits against skin and collar |
| Everywhere | Perfume and chlorine | Both strip a plated surface faster than wear does |
Who buys what
The pattern reads straight off the ratings.
- Single lettersGo to the person wearing them.
- Pairs of lettersGo to sisters and to mothers, usually the same two letters twice.
- The crossesGo to confirmations, and to people who want the chain without an initial. They are the only part of the range that sells to men.
The letter is the one thing we do not customise
Every piece is stamped before it reaches us, so a letter is either in stock or it is not. A brand that engraves to order would tell you otherwise. MONOZO stocks rather than engraves, and the difference shows up as an empty square in the index instead of a longer wait.
