The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle - Miniature Book Charm Quote Pendant - for charm bracelet or necklace

Description

“There is no friend as loyal as a book.” – Ernest Hemingway Now you can take your “friends” with you wherever you go with our Charmed Book charms, inspired by our own antique, 1930s charm. This Charmed Book depicts "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" by Arthur Conan Doyle, and features a mini replication of an early 1800s binding. Inside, the quote reads, "Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent." The original illustration depicting our hero is by Sydney Paget, from The Strand magazine where the Sherlock Holmes stories were first published. Each charm is hand crafted using materials made in the USA. They are made from sturdy brass, plated sterling silver, or plated gold, weather-proofed paper to replicate early book bindings, and weather-proofed images. They measure 7/8 inch long and 11/16 inches high, and are perfect as pendants, additions to charm bracelets, as a pair of earrings, bag clip, or on a key chain. We use first edition dust jackets and illustrations for our Charmed Books as often as possible. Occasionally, we will hand-color original black and white illustrations so they translate better in miniature size, or use a later edition’s art if necessary. Charmed Books make elegant gifts for all ages! They’re a magical gift on their own to symbolize someone’s favorite book. In addition, you can pair them with their corresponding life-size book for a wonderful gift set, or buy a new charm to fill a child’s charm bracelet whenever she completes a new classic. Each Charmed Book is made to order and comes packaged in its own, sweet little “book”, which corresponds to the book you chose.
