Double Initial Silver-plated Letterpress Necklace

Description

We've had so many requests from lovers who want TWO initials on a necklace that we've developed this double-initial letterpress necklace. It's a more personalized version of the very popular "Letterpress Necklace" we've been selling on our website for awhile now.

A recent work-study program at the New York Center for Book Arts yielded a treasure trove of old moveable iron type (see detail image for our current stock; this is what the type looks like before it is plated). Originally used on hand-cranked Vandercook Proof Presses, each piece of type used in these necklaces were worn out ever so slightly by normal printing use, and were consigned to a bin to be melted down and re-cast. These obsolete pieces (each measures a little under 1" long) have been rescued, plated in sterling silver, and hung from a 22" silver-plated brass figaro chain. Spring ring clasp secures chain at back.

Specify in which two letters of the Alphabet you'd like on your necklace in the "message" section at checkout. Fonts and type sizes vary slightly. Allow 2-3 weeks for delivery, since each letter is selected and plated to order. $, &, #, and % are available.
