Found Treasure!

After moving recently, it's taken awhile to unearth some long-lost treasures...here are a pile of antique black beads (jet?), the facets are definitely hand-cut...can't wait to see what else turns up as I unpack my supplies!

Antique Book Pendant

Using pages from an 1834 Penny Magazine book, I construct a pendant by sandwiching a 1 x 1 inch piece of the magazine (actually a book) between glass, then soldering and adding a sterling silver loop that will work with a chain or neckwire. Each pendant is unique as these are NOT scans, but pieces of history...

See these pendants on my etsy site:
