There is no ancient history or tradition related to initial pendants but, the tradition of wearing ones initial is not new. The practice of wearing an initial on a shirt, tie or even cap has existed for many decades. The initial is generally the first alphabet in the first name of an individual. The concept of the pendant remains the same even if a digit is selected in place of an alphabet.
For example, a sportsmen might wear a pendant that has the number '8', this could be the number on his T-shirt when he is on the field. In some cases, a symbol might be preferred instead of a number or alphabet. A tennis player might have a pendant that is shaped like a tennis racket. Such a jewel would have better meaning the person wearing the jewel.
The best thing about Kaisilver initial pendants is that they are fully custom made. You are therefore not bound by any fixed parameters. The designs that you see here are mere suggestions, they will give you a good idea of what to expect and look for when buying a silver or gold initial pendant.

We mentioned that both men and ladies could wear an initial pendant. The basic concept of an initial pendant would remain the same for ladies and men, but some variations are apparent. For example, more men prefer plain initial pendants as compared to ladies. Diamonds and gemstones are more common in ladies pendants as compared to men. When it comes to choosing a font, for the initial in a mens pendant, simple and bold fonts are the top choice. On the other hand, ladies prefer artistic and fancy fonts. The oveall dimensions of men's initial pendants are almost always larger than pendants worn by ladies. The metal weight is therefore higher for mens pendants, remember that durability depends on metal weight too.
Initials, symbols and digits can also be included in a pendant. Each customized pendant would have meaning and significance that specifically relates to the person buying the jewel.
The MPN10 mens initial pendant has everything that a good mens pendant is expected to have. 
Custom made in gold or silver, this men's pendant combines smart looks with longterm durability. The impressive dimensions of this pendant are matched by a handsome metal weight of around 30 grams. Most men would look at the external appearance of an initial pendant and then turn to the price tag before making a buying decision. It is fair to expect the jeweler to take care of other essential features but, this does not happen in real life situations. Realizing the impact of low prices on jewelry buying decisions, jewelers push to design and produce flimsy jewels. We have come across jewelry buyers who were told that, similar pendants could be made with less than 15 grams of metal! What they were not informed was that, such light weight junk can bend and dent easily. If you are ever offered a men's pendant with a weight that is less than 20 to 30 grams, give it a good look before you part with your money. Complete details and useful suggestions for the MPN10 mens initial pendant can be seen here.
There is one more problem with low weight men's pendants. Turn them around and you will see an ugly hollow on the back side of the pendant. This is a result of heavy metal scooping done to lower the metal weight requirements. This scooping not only damages the appearance of the jewel, it also makes the pendant prone to denting and bending. None of us walk around showing off the back side of our jewels but, in the case of a gold or silver initial pendant it is possible that the pendant swings around when worn. Kaisilver pendants are provided with sufficient weight, this makes them sturdy and also allows a neat finishing on the back side. You can specifically request for a ladies or men's pendant with no scooping at all. Our support team will work out specific weight and cost factors for your requirement.
Customization is a big benefit for jewelry buyers. You are not bound by fixed, designs, dimensions or gemstones. For example, the diamond initial pendant IND008 could be made with no diamonds in the design. The font for the initial could be made in a different gold color as compared to the rest of the pendant. When it comes to the MPN10 mens initial pendant, you could request for a square frame rather than a round frame. The pendant is shown here without any diamonds or gems but, you could ask for a birthstone to be set in the jewel to make it a birth stone jewel. Kaisilver allows customization to the highest degree which means that, a completely new pendant could be created based on your design images or sketches.
