Madame Bovary Gustave Flaubert Handmade Literature Necklace, Book Cover, Cross

“Her will, like the veil strung to her bonnet, flutters in every breeze; always there is the desire urging, always the convention restraining.” Like your jewelry to mean something? You'll love my handmade literature necklaces! This one depicts Gustave Flaubert's timeless novel, Madame Bovary. This unisex necklace features (from left to right), first, a cross charm, to represent religion, and the inadequacy of the church when it comes to providing spiritual comfort to Emma in the face of her daily struggles. Next to it is a charm of a romance novel, to signify how such love stories create unrealistic expectations for women like Emma that real life can never to live up to. In the center is a book cover pendant of the novel. Next is a blue glass poison bottle vial charm, not only because of the poison in the blue bottle that Emma Bovary uses to kill herself, but because in Madame Bovary, blue symbolizes Emma's dreams and romantic idealizations, free from the mundane detail that comprises her "gray" everyday life. This necklace has been newly handmade just for you, is adjustable from 17.25 to 24.5 inches (can be made shorter or longer upon request), and is from a smoke/pet free home.
