The Initial Report

Phoenix Roze Initial Necklaces

The onslaught of August birthdays (statistics reveal there are more this month than any other) have exhausted all gift ideas.

Guy Rozenstrich has a little hint. A teeny one, actually. In his wee jewelry quarters in the West Village, the SVA grad and jeweler can turn the birthday girl’s initials into a delicate piece measuring mere millimeters.

The darling fourteen-karat gold letters can rest on a thin gold necklace or be embossed on a minuscule heart pendant.

You’ll be so taken with the idea of something so small getting so much attention that you may have to get one for yourself. (Prepare to be stopped in the street and asked about it.)

It’s elegance, artistry, and personalization in a quarter of an inch.

Not that we have to spell it out for you.

Available at Phoenix Roze, 183 West 10th Street, between Seventh Avenue and West 4th Street (212-255-2362 or phoenixroze.com).
