The Monogram Love Token - A solid sterling silver (sterlium plus) coin hand chiseled in a solid 14K gold bezel. This pendent can be purchase by itself or with a 16” or 18” 14k gold chain with a lobster clasp.
Victorian Love Token Jewelry, popular in the 18th century and later outlawed, was created by smoothing one side of a coin such as a copper penny or a silver dollar and adding custom hand engraving with a stylistic monogram or initial. The story of the Love Token tradition is appealing because they weren’t just gifted to convey affection, they were small objects of art meant to communicate a feeling or express a sense of identity.
The Monogram Love Token is a modern take on an ancient tradition, hand-chiseled with your monogram. This piece marks the evolution of our original clay Love Token—now cast in fine materials to be worn for a lifetime. Set in a 14K gold bezel, it transforms a beloved keepsake into something enduring.
This is not just jewelry. This is a tradition, reborn.

Made of high fire ceramic stoneware and glazed with high fire glaze, then a low fire gold luster overglaze in 22K.
We recommend gently hand washing with a microfiber cloth as 22k gold is a soft, precious metal and harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaning products can scratch it over time.
I recommend a dry environment away from extreme temperatures. Use soft microfiber cloth for dusting and wiping the glass.
Each piece is made of low fire clay and needs to be handled with care. Clean the inside and outside by laying the frame and gently wipe with microfiber cloth.

I had been looking for a monogram pendant for a while, but everything I found was either too small or had a script font I wasn't loving. When Susan Gordon released the Love Token, the timing couldn't have been better!
Since getting married in 2020, I've found myself putting my new initials on just about everything, and I wanted something special to commemorate our anniversary. I decided to treat myself, and I'm so happy I did.
The hand engraving is beautiful, and the pendant is the perfect size. It feels substantial without being too big. I also love mixing gold and silver jewelry, so the two-tone design goes with everything. Depending on which chain length I'm wearing that day, it gives the pendant a completely different look too.
It's exactly what I had been searching for, and I know it's a piece I'll treasure for years to come.
My husband surprised me with the Love Token Monogram Necklace for our 46th anniversary. It is one of my most favorite pieces of jewelry. I grew up when the monogram necklaces were popular, but this necklace tops them all! A special keepsake! Susan Gordon’s pieces; pottery, jewelry, and melamine are all collections I cherish!
It is just the most beautiful piece.
I received my token for Mother’s Day.
It is the perfect size on 18” chain to fall at the spot below my 16” diamond pendant.
I really like it a lot.
Wow!!! Love this pendant!
