Turn heads with Book Bead earrings! Choose Tess of the d'Urbervilles OR a favorite title to accessorize with. You can wear the same pair or mix & match. It's the perfect gift for the book lover on your list.

EYE-CATCHING

The earrings measure approximately 1 7/8 inches (50 mm) long, from the top of the French hook to the tip of the mini book charm. An upgrade to 925 Sterling Silver ear wires is available upon checkout for a minor surcharge. A complimentary set of clear plastic earring backs is provided. Use it and you won’t lose it! You can also choose to mount it on a silver plated half-ball post (4 mm diameter ball, 10 mm long post), that hangs approximately 1 3/8 inches (35 mm) from the top of the ball to the bottom of the book bead. An upgrade to a 6 mm whole-ball post with bullet back is available for a modest surcharge. If you have non-pierced ears, a screw back clip on is also available for a minor surcharge.

DURABLE

Constructed of polymer clay, each double-sided book is about the size of a US quarter. Page ridge detail is etched on three sides of the mini-book. Carefully burnished is a TLC exclusive, based on the first edition covers of Thomas Hardy's classic novel. The custom mini book charms are then sealed, before repeatedly being glazed (minimum 2 coats) to a glossy finish. It takes about 3 weeks, from start to finish, to complete a custom book. With a built-in hole for a headpin, each bead pivots freely and is easily identifiable.

HANDMADE IN THE USA

Because each book pendant 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.
