These unique, one-of-a-kind Embellished Excerpts pendants contain small excerpts from vintage books. This specific pendant contains a thoughtfully selected excerpt from the story "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens from a 1939 copy of Dickens Christmas Stories. The "scroll" portion is a handmade (by yours truly!) paper bead that has been sealed with a water-based acid-free sealant to give it strength and protection from the elements. It has been wire wrapped with bright silver tone wire and is embellished with glass pearls. This pendant is approximately 3.5 inches long and comes strung on a 24 inch silver tone ball chain. A great gift for bibliophiles, classic lit lovers, or anyone just wanting a really cool piece of jewelry! Stay tuned for more Embellished Excerpts Necklaces from other works of literature in the near future!
