love alters not -- porcelain poem pendant

Description

This porcelain pendant is glazed in a lovely celadon blue-green; it has a weathered look to it, which makes the "S" in the lettering obscured. It reads:

LOVE ALTERS NOT

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
--"Sonnet CXVI," William Shakespeare

The back of the pendant is unglazed white porcelain, subtly stamped with "PANOPOLY." (see photo for example)
Measurements: 22mm by 27mm (.9" by 1.1")

My poem pendants are hand-cut from wet clay, hand-inscribed using tiny stamps, and brushed with nontoxic glazes. For beauty and strength, they are fired twice in my kiln, then strung on a solid copper chain, complete with a handmade clasp.

By default, this pendant comes with an 19" (49cm) chain. However, I make my chains to order, so feel free to request a different length in your notes during checkout. If you don't want a chain at all, please contact me and I will give you a discounted price on the pendant. I can include a vintage length of ribbon or lace at no additional charge.

I am always happy to take custom orders on these pendants! Please contact me with your request, and/or read more about my custom order policies here:
