Create your very own custom book beads! Attached to a lobster clasp, turn your favorite book or image into a charm and accessorize with it!

Sculpted out of polymer clay, Book Beads are miniature books that uncannily resemble the real thing. Each double-sided book measures 7/8” L x 5/8” W x ¼” H (or 24 x 18 x 7 mm) approximately. ***Note the difference of Book Beads from other mini books out there: there is NO paper cut-out of the cover that is modge-podged on the clay. The image is"baked" into the clay permanently, making the item 100% durable.*** There is a minimum 6-book order for custom requests to maximize materials, firing, glazes and effort.

A finished bead weighs about 0.10 oz (or 3 grams). Page ridge detail is etched on three sides of the mini-book. Collaged images are then painstakingly burnished onto the clay surface. The mini book charms are then sealed, before repeatedly being glazed (minimum 3 coats) to a glossy finish, making them not only durable, but also water-resistant. It takes about 3 weeks, from start to finish, to complete a custom book bead. With a built-in hole for a headpin, each bead pivots freely and is easily identifiable. Each book bead comes attached to a lobster clasp. If you prefer them plain (without a clasp, just the headpin) simply select this option.

Because each bead is hand made, minor imperfections are part of its charm, and no two will be exactly alike. You will receive something very similar to the item pictured, but not exactly the item pictured. Please make allowances for artistic freedom and understand that slight variability in the pendants is to be expected.

Their cut, clarity of image, size and finished design are without rival! They can be strung together on a necklace or bracelet, wired on to earrings, hung on loops as wine charms, snapped on to key chains or looped into stitch markers! You get the idea: there is no limit to what you can do with these! Afford the best: own a Book Bead!

NEW: Add a bracelet! The ultimate indulgence: choose your chain mail weave. Provide your wrist measurement. Unsure how to measure? See the guide under VIEW DETAILED IMAGES. Then select your toggle clasp. Constructed of bright aluminum jump rings meticulously linked in your choice of weave pattern (I have the calluses to prove it), it is finished off with a matching toggle closure.
