The Reader Necklace
For the ones who vanish between pages.
For the women who drift somewhere else entirely when the world grows quiet, who float far from the room they’re sitting in, carried by story and imagination.
The Reader is deeply engraved into solid brass, capturing a quiet, powerful moment: a woman suspended in a crescent moon, lost in her book and completely her own.
She is not escaping.
She is travelling.
She is remembering who she is in other worlds.
At 2.8cm, this talisman feels present without overwhelming, grounding enough for everyday wear, meaningful enough to carry close.
Each piece is individually cut, engraved, darkened to enhance every fine detail, then hand polished back to a warm golden glow in our New Zealand studio.

About the Chain
Your necklace is paired with an 18" gold filled chain.
Gold filled is not the same as gold plated. It contains a thick layer of real gold permanently bonded to the base metal, making it far more durable and long lasting than standard plating.
With proper care, gold filled jewellery can be worn daily and will maintain its beautiful glow for years.
Why You’ll Love It
This is for the dreamers.
It’s a quiet symbol of imagination, independence, and inner worlds that run deep.
A reminder that getting lost in a book is never really being lost at all.
An absolutely unique and stunning gift for book lovers.
