When I was a child playing video games, I always wanted some t-shirts, collectibles, and jewelry themed around games. Now, as a voracious book lover I have a wealth of inspirational jewelry and literary jewelry at my fingertips to wear and proudly show off my adoration for books and literature.
These top Etsy sellers have some of the best book themed jewelry around so if, like me, you’re in serious need for some excellent jewelry for book lovers, you’ll find it from these guys.
Literary Necklaces
‘Frankenstein’ by Literary Gifts UK
This stunning piece of inspirational jewelry not only boasts a fantastic Frankenstein quote in a lovely font, but the design of both the pendant and the chain looks like it belongs in that gothic 18th century world of Frankenstein. This is one of the most mesmerising pieces of literary jewelry I’ve seen; it seems to capture the very soul of Shelley’s monumental sci-fi novel.
Frankenstein is my favourite novel in the world. I’ve often thought about getting a Frankenstein tattoo but worried it would look too B-movie. And something even better is this outstanding piece of inspirational jewelry.
‘Literary Necklace’ by Mummybird Pretties
This piece of literary jewelry is handmade! This glass bauble on a chain of deep brass colouring is stunning. It has this ethereal, fairy tale magic that’s just irresistible. Each one of these literary necklaces holds a small, folded page from a romantic novel inside it, something to keep you feeling connected to literature and the power that it holds.
A lot of us hate to be without a book – we carry them in our bags, our jackets, even our back pockets. With one of these literary necklaces, it’s even easier to keep literature as close to your heart as possible, all day, every day. Forever.
‘Raven Pendant’ by Shimmer Creek
You see a raven, you think Poe. That’s not always the case, though. This pendant isn’t strictly for Poe fans; it’s just a great piece of book themed jewelry. That said, if you are a Poe fan, you’re going to love this piece of inspirational jewelry. And same goes if you’re a Lewis Carroll fan. Or if you just think ravens are cool (which they are).
This beautiful book necklace with its raven pendant has such an alluring blend of colours: the black crow, silver chain, and yellowed paper background. It’s flat-out gorgeous; and it is absolutely one of the best pieces of jewelry for book lovers.

This is a book necklace that’s thin, perfectly sized, gentle and not too bold or brash. It gently and softly tells the world that its wearer truly believes that there’s nothing more precious in all the world than literature.

It’s not the name removed from the literature, it’s the word as part of the story. It’s irremovable from the book, and I really love that. What a fantastic piece of inspirational jewelry.

‘Literary Earrings’ by Beyond Words Keepsakes
Placed next to each other, these bookish earrings might look a little silly. But when worn, they represent the entire breath of literature. Between the words on one earring, and the words on the other, the entire world can happen.

Literary Rings
‘Mr Darcy’ by Retro Beads and Bangles
Literary rings are a lot more rare than literary necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. And when they’re rare, it’s important to get them right. Well, what’s more right than the world of literature’s “Mr Right”, otherwise known as Mr Darcy. This gorgeous piece of book themed jewelry takes the actual text from Pride and Prejudice and keeps it forever precious on a ring that will show the world that the wearer knows a good man when they read one.
