Keep a little New Zealand handwritten history on your side with me, the Historic Hokitika Trinket Necklace.

Measuring 1 x ¾ of an inch, I am a hand bound mini wearable journal for your thoughts. Open me up and you’ll find I begin & end with beautiful floral printed paper in burgundy tones. To follow, are 36 sheets (72 pages) of tea-stained, hand-torn drawing paper to write your thoughts & dreams. Hand stitched with Irish linen thread, my pages are complimented by black & white head & tail bands. Bound in a tiny reclaimed piece of extremely soft, dark charcoal leather, I secure with a matching leather double wrap around tie.

Along with an authentic vintage 25 mm long skeleton key & a rustic old locket measuring 15 mm long, I am coupled with an 18mm wide magnifying dome in a vintage brass lace setting, featuring a tiny resized antique envelope that was sent from Italy to Hokitika on November 30, 1886. The intricate handwriting and postmarks are a fine addition to my persona.

Hanging from a fine antique bronze mother-son link chain secured with a lobster clasp, my entire length of 14 inches long (28 doubled up) enables you to read me, write in me and admire me all at once.

I would make an ideal gift for the traveller, nomad, artist, flaneur, bibliophile, bookbinder, wanderer, poet, librarian, thinker…
