Are You Wearing Your Initial Necklace Wrong?

Do you ever look in the mirror and wonder if your jewelry is working for you? A simple initial necklace can change everything. In this guide, we walk you through choosing the best metal, measuring that sweet spot length, and stacking pieces so they play nicely together. Your signature piece will tell the world who you are.

Are You Wearing Your Initial Necklace Wrong?

A personalized item can fade into the background. This happens when styling is off. A chain can be too short or too long. The weights can clash with other necklaces. For instance, a fine 16-inch link drowns beside a chunky gold curb.

It just does not work. Adjusting those details makes a necklace shift from ordinary to eye-catching. Proper care makes sure your initial necklace shines as bright as you do.

Master Your Initial Necklace with These Tips!

Ready for simple guidance? From metal mix rules to measuring secrets, these tips give you confidence.

●          Layered Look

Layering jewelry adds depth to any outfit, so begin with a favorite personalized initial necklace that acts as your main focal point. Next, add a shorter piece, like a tiny heart necklace or another alphabet necklace, so it sits just above the first chain. For extra character, throw on a snug 16-inch choker while a longer, 20-inch matinee chain hangs below. This mix lets each initial necklace shine.

Layering necklaces of different lengths gives you a pretty cascade look, so start with a short 16-inch choker. Next, add an 18-inch chain and finish with a 20-inch piece. The result is a soft waterfall of sparkle. Slip a dainty initial necklace into the mix for a sweet, personal hint.

●          Contrasting Metals

Playing with different metal colors is a fun way to keep your look fresh; for instance, pair a warm letter necklace gold with a cool sterling-silver chain and watch the pieces pop. For a modern twist, you can create your first initial pendant in 14K gold or your last initial pendant in sterling silver. This bold contrast will highlight each pendant and reflect your unique taste.

●          Focal Point

Turn your first necklace into a showstopper by giving it a clear focal point, so pick a bold letter piece, then pair it with simpler chains. A sideways initial necklace, for example, really makes the eye stop; that way, your star pendant will not fade. Look for a charm with a cool twist, something that screams you.

Choosing The Right Initial Necklace Material!

Picking the right material is crucial for a piece that lasts. From sturdy sterling silver to warm gold, each choice has its own charm. Let’s walk through the options so you can find one that fits your lifestyle.

●          14K Gold

A 14k gold initial necklace never goes out of style because it contains about 58.3% pure gold, so the piece stays strong for everyday wear. The warm hue looks great with every skin tone; therefore, it is a smart pick for a standout item like the classic initial necklace tiffany.

●          Sterling Silver

Sterling silver is both budget-friendly and flexible for a cute initial bar necklace. At 92.5 percent pure silver, it shines with a clean glow, and the bright finish works well with everything. A fine, delicate initial necklace feels effortless. To keep that sparkle, store it carefully.

●          Rose Gold

Rose gold brings a warm, dreamy blush from adding copper to the metal mix. Slip on a rose gold initial charm or a bychari rose gold piece, and you immediately get that soft punch. Moreover, this shade is perfect for fun trends like the sideways initial necklace Australia or the kate spade initial necklace rose gold.

Table on Choosing The Right Initial Necklace Material!

What’s The Best Initial Necklace Length?

Picking the right necklace length turns a good piece of jewelry into a great one. Below is a guide to the most common sizes.

●          16-Inch Choker

A 16-inch choker hugs the neck just above the collarbones, and because it sits so close, this length looks amazing with high-cut tops. A petite letter necklace can become a delicate statement piece at this size. It also acts as the first tier in a stacked game. One of our favorites is a rose flower necklace with initial slid onto the 16-inch strand.

●          18-Inch Princess

The 18-inch princess chain is the crowd favorite. It rests a few finger-widths below the collarbone, making room for any outfit and is the sweet spot for a classic name necklace. The charm lands neither too high nor too low. Pairing it with an engraved bar necklace au at 18 inches also gives a polished vibe.

●          20-Inch Matinee

A 20-inch matinee necklace sits just below the collarbone. Because it hangs lower, the design guides the eye downward and looks nice with wide necklines. The length works well if you want a fresh gift or treat, making it a smart choice for an initial necklace.

Disney Debuts First Look at Music Series ‘Electric Bloom’ Premiering July 10

Today, Disney Branded Television revealed a first look at the upcoming comedy series “Electric Bloom” (former working title “How We Became the Biggest Band in the World”) with the official teaser trailer and poster. The first two episodes of the music-driven original series will premiere on Disney Channel on Thursday, July 10, at 8:35 p.m. EDT/PDT, following the world premiere of the Disney Channel Original Movie “ZOMBIES 4: Dawn of the Vampires,” with new episodes weekly. The show will debut on Disney+ on Sept. 17, with the first 13 episodes of the season and the remaining coming to the service in October. 

“Electric Bloom” follows the three members of the now mega-famous pop group Electric Bloom as they look back and tell the story of their band and friendship, starting with the day they all met in high school. The girls go on a journey to becoming the biggest band in the world and the best friends in the universe.

The series stars Lumi Pollack (“The Fallout”) as perfectly put-together Posey, Carmen Sanchez as school rebel Jade, Ruby Marino as quirky and optimistic Tulip, and Nathaniel Buescher (“Circuit Breakers”) as class crush and band supporter Lucas.

Creators Eric Friedman, Alex Fox and Rachel Lewis serve as executive producers along with iconic songwriter Diane Warren and Bahareh Batmang. Warren also writes the majority of the songs for the series, including all songs in the pilot and the theme song. Jody Hahn directed and executive-produced the pilot.

Lamb of God Release Studio Cover of Sabbath’s “Children of the Grave” After Historic Final Show

Lamb of God have surprise-released an official studio recording of their cover of “Children of the Grave.” The group debuted their charging, timely cover of the iconic Black Sabbath song live last night during their appearance at BACK TO THE BEGINNING, Ozzy Osbourne and Sabbath’s heavily anticipated final show. During the historical evening, which took place at Villa Park in Birmingham, UK, Lamb of God celebrated Ozzy and Black Sabbath’s legacy alongside a who’s-who of their peers, including Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Tool, and recent tourmates Mastodon, before a final bow from Ozzy and Black Sabbath themselves.

“Lamb of God being invited to perform with Black Sabbath at their final show is one of the greatest honors of our career,” says lead guitarist Mark Morton. “As an offering to the celebration, we’ve recorded our take on their classic ‘Children of the Grave,’ a protest song with lyrics that are as relevant today as they were in 1971 when the original was released.

Black Sabbath invented heavy metal and in doing so, they changed the world. This genre that they created brings immeasurable joy to fans all over the world. We are so grateful to have the heavy metal community to call our home, and so grateful to Black Sabbath for the gift of their music that they’ve given to all of us.”

The influential hard rock titans are currently wrapping up work on their 10th studio album, which is set to follow 2022’s critically acclaimed Omens. That album notably marked the band’s sixth consecutive Top 15 debut on the Billboard 200 in addition to capturing #1 on the Top Hard Rock Albums Chart, #3 on the Top Album Sales Chart, #3 on the Top Rock Albums Chart, and #5 on the Top Vinyl Albums Chart. The body of work was also critically lauded, with Consequence how it is “incredibly tight, flashy and evidently abhorrent in its messaging – we’re all doomed, but at least Lamb of God make it sound good.” Kerrang! celebrated how the “already taut LOG energy thrusts even harder” across the ten tracks, while Spin praised how it grabbed “listeners by their prefrontal cortexes, shaking the metal faithful around to what the hell is going on as they blissfully mosh through the ruins of modern living.” Distorted Sound noted how “Omens is another incredible album to add to an already stacked back catalogue” while Classic Rock noted how it was “Heavy yet eloquent, full tilt yet considered, it’s a record that is incandescent with rage, and clever too.” Get it HERE at all DSPs.

As evident by last night’s commanding performance, Lamb of God have continued to be a force live. In support of Omens, the band performed sold-out headlining tours across the US, Canada and Europe, opened for Pantera, and brought a celebrated co-headlining tour with Mastodon across North America. With a lot more news to come, Lamb of God continue to be one the most influential and celebrated names in rock-continuing to raise the flag for metal without apology or compromise, just unrivaled integrity.

S.O.R.M Drop Heavy New Single “The Sacrifice” Ahead of 2025 Tour Dates

Swedish hard rock outfit S.O.R.M has officially unleashed their brand new track, ‘The Sacrifice’, which offers another powerful statement from the Lidkoping-based four-piece. The stand-alone single is out now via Noble Demon.

The band offers insight into the single’s core message: “The new single is a song that speaks to everyone. It’s about all the sacrifices we do just so we can keep on living. At the end we all turn to the lord and ask for a hero that can help lead the way.

“My problems in life are different from yours but we all sometimes need to do sacrifices to keep on moving forward. The hardest work is to sacrifice something without regrets. But in the end we always wonder if he hears you calling out.”

Formed in 2017, S.O.R.M quickly made a name for themselves with the release of their outstanding “Hellraiser” EP (2020), which introduced the band to the world and captivated audiences with their infectious hooks right from the start. The band’s 2023 debut album, “Under My Skin” (Noble Demon), further solidified their position in the hard rock scene, featuring guest appearances by legendary guitarists Doug Blair of W.A.S.P. and Nick Petrino of Dee Snider.

Phil Collins Celebrates 40 Years of ‘No Jacket Required’ with Deluxe Vinyl Box Set and Blu-ray Featuring Live Performances, Demos, and a New Dolby ATMOS Mix

To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Phil Collins’ iconic Diamond-certified third solo album, No Jacket Required, it will be reissued in two new formats available September 12 — a 4-LP vinyl box set with additional live and rare material; and a 1-BD Blu-ray Audio disc featuring a new Dolby ATMOS mix of the original album by Steven Wilson.

The 4-LP deluxe collection, No Jacket Required (Fully Tailored), is pressed on 180-gram black vinyl and features a 20-page booklet complete with new liner notes and photos. LP 1 features the original album remastered and cut at half-speed at Abbey Road Studios. LPs 2-4 include a collection of B-sides, live, and rare performances for the first time on vinyl, including a stripped-back performance of “One More Night” Live at the BBC, and “Long, Long Way To Go” from Live Aid on July 13, 1985. Pre-order HERE.

The No Jacket Required Blu-ray Audio disc contains a brand-new Dolby ATMOS and stereo mix by Steven Wilson, alongside the original 1985 stereo mix. The 1-BD Blu-ray Audio will be available the same day as the LP box set. Pre-order HERE.

No Jacket Required, released in 1985, was Phil Collins’ third solo album, and mixed his trademark emotional ballads alongside strong funk and R&B influences. The album’s hit singles — “Sussudio,” “One More Night,” “Don’t Lose My Number,” and “Take Me Home” — would also become staples of his live shows in the years that followed. No Jacket Required was a resounding global hit, reaching #1 in 11 countries, including the UK, US, Australia, Canada, Germany, Spain, and Sweden. The album received three GRAMMY® Awards: Best Album, Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, and Producer of the Year for Collins. It has sold over 25 million copies to date, is RIAA-certified Diamond in the US, has reached 6x platinum in the UK, and won two Brit Awards — Album of the Year and Best Male Solo Artist. It was the second-best-selling album of 1985 in the UK and spent five consecutive weeks at #1 there. “Sussudio” and “One More Night” were both US #1 singles. The No Jacket Required World Tour played 85 shows in 12 countries and concluded with two special performances at Live Aid on July 13, at Wembley Stadium in London and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia on the same day.

Crematory Launch Remastered Vinyl Reissues of Early Classics

Iconic dark metal titans Crematory have started to reissue a series of re-releases from their impressive and pathbreaking back catalogue. Out today, and remastered by Crematory guitarist and producer Rolf Munkes: “Engulfed in Darkness”, the legendary demo from 1992 (now also available for the first time as a Mini-LP!), the band’s grandiose debut “Transmigration” (1993) and their sophomore full-length, “…Just Dreaming” (1994), that seen the band propelling straight to the top of their genre in Germany.

All of these three must-have reissues, that belong into every well-sorted goth, death and dark metal record collection, are now available on limited colored vinyl through ROAR.

Due to high demand, Crematory have furthermore announced to reissue and bring back to life: “Illusions” (1995), “Das Deutsche Album” (1996) and “Awake” (1997).

In the mid-1990s, Crematory emerged as a leading force in the German gothic metal scene. Formed in 1991, the band fused death metal roots with darkwave and gothic influences, creating a unique sound marked by growled vocals, melodic keyboards, and melancholic themes. By the time “Illusions” was released in 1995, CREMATORY had refined their identity, gaining international attention with emotionally charged songs and powerful live performances. Their work during this era helped shape the sound of European gothic metal, and alongside 90s cult acts such as Type O Negative, Tiamat, Moonspell, The Gathering and Paradise Lost, Crematory became one of the most successful representatives of their genre.

“Illusions”, “Das Deutsche Album” and “Awake” will be re-released as limited vinyl editions on August 22, 2025 via ROAR.

High Parasite Unleash “Cold” And Join Paradise Lost On UK Tour

UK outfit High Parasite, led by Aaron Stainthorpe of My Dying Bride, unveil their brand-new single, “Cold.” Though previously unreleased, the track has become a staple of the band’s live set and arrives alongside a music video, available below.

Bassist/Vocalist Tombs comments on the single: “‘Cold’ was lyrically inspired by Plato’s analogy of the cave, an allegory used to illustrate the relationship between reality and illusion, the journey from ignorance to knowledge.

“The idea of a person realising too late in life that there is no God, no heaven, no hell, no divine retribution, no absolution, and the panic and anger they would feel when it dawns on them that they are truly alone and can only hold themselves responsible for their actions.”

Having completed a successful UK tour with Cradle of Filth last year, and more recently a short stint with Unto Others, HIGH PARASITE play a one-off show with Cradle of Filth on July 6th at Epic Studios in Norwich; they then continue their run of European festivals, including first-ever appearances at the UK’s Bloodstock event in August and the Eindhoven Metal Meeting in December.

Three Days Grace Score 20th #1 With “Apologies,” Announce New Album

Rock giants Three Days Grace have added another #1 single to their monster catalog as “Apologies” reaches #1 at Mediabase Active Rock radio charts. Produced by Zakk Cervini, Dan Lancaster and Howard Benson, the song served as a follow up to the band’s anthem “Mayday”, marking the return of original vocalist Adam Gontier, the first single released from the upcoming full-length album, Alienation, due August 22 via RCA Records.
The band shares “We want to thank everyone at radio and especially all of our fans who have supported us through this unbelievable journey. Having 20 Number 1 records is a testament to them. They have stuck with us through every evolution, every riff, every scream. We don’t take that lightly. The best is still to come”

Three Days Grace balances moments of extreme emotion on an axis of pummeling hard rock anthems and pensive balladry. Along the way, the multi-platinum record-breaking Ontario, Canada band have amassed billions of streams and millions of album sales, sold out arenas on multiple continents, and reached unprecedented heights, earning a now staggering 20 total #1 entries on the Mediabase Active Rock Chart.

Three Days Grace recently entered the esteemed Spotify “Billions Club” as their rock anthem “I Hate Everything About You” crosses 1 Billion streams on the digital streaming platform. Released in 2003, the single has since become embedded in rock history.

To date, their veritable arsenal of number one includes “Home”, “Just Like You”, “Pain”, “Animal I Have Become”, “Never Too Late”, “Break”, “Good Life”, “World So Cold”, “Misery Loves My Company”, “The High Road”, “Chalk Outline”, “I am Machine, “Painkiller”, “The Mountain”, “Infra-Red”, “Right Left Wrong”, “So Called Life”, “Lifetime”, “Mayday” and now the addition of “Apologies” to the ever-impressive list.

After Three Days Grace surprised fans with the return of the band’s original singer Adam Gontier, the rock giants have announced their epic upcoming record, Alienation, available on August 22 via RCA Records. The twelve-tracks on the record all play a pivotal role in defining this significantly new, but nostalgic, chapter of the band.

Three Days Grace will return to the stage with Breaking Benjamin this Fall, with special guests Return To Dust before heading to Europe with support from Badflower.

Limited cabins remain available, priced at $2,299 per person, which includes all applicable taxes, fees, and gratuities. Monthly payment plans are available through StarVista LIVE. To book your cabin, visit ultimatediscocruise.com.
