just plain cool throwback to hand set type.

If you know someone who drools over the latest Helvetica calendar or antique newspapers and posters, this is the gift for them.

Letterpress printing utilizes individual letter blocks being arranged into pages, then inked and pressed onto paper. This leaves an indent that is very attractive to artisan printers. These individual pendants are from an old style printing press, mounted in a sterling silver setting to be worn on a necklace, most likely an initial or symbol that is meaninful to the wearer. For men who aren't fans of accessories but enjoy the aesthetic, consider hanging the pendant from a key chain!

They are original woodblocks actually used on printing presses, complete with ink stains. Not just an adornment, they were once functional as well. Available in all 26 letters, numbers 1 - 9, question mark, ampersand, exclamation point, and dollar sign, created by designer Ward Wallau.

Love this!

Very cool- we used to own a personalized stationery co. and we hand set these for each order!

these cool and kitschy necklaces are made from old printing presses *most of the letters even still have ink on them from back in the day*. a very cool, one of a kind and personalized gift!

This necklace is made from real letter press letters. It is available in all 26 letters, number 1-9, and a variety of symbols including an exclamation mark, a question mark, and a dollar sign. A great gift!

i'm always a fan of using common everyday items for uncommon uses, especially those involving jewelry. these letter press necklaces give both jewelry and type a new spin. great for the typoholic in your life.

A cool necklace featuring the initial of your choice. Love the aesthetic here, though the chain could be a little bit more upscale. But nevertheless, what a great gift idea.
