Necklace with engraving – “But my soul is a dancer”

Gold Long Necklace with Oval Pendant – Engraved Verse

Jewelry with Meaning
Each of the four small brass plates carries a part of the verse, so as you read through them, the full verse gradually unfolds.

The golden chain is approximately 40 cm (chest-length) and comes in a gift box along with the full excerpt from the letter (see below).

On the pendant, the touching sentence reads:
"But
my soul
is a dancer"

This enchanting poetry necklace, featuring a verse from a letter by Bettina von Arnim, is simple yet special. Its understated beauty makes it easy to pair with many outfits and other jewelry, such as the oval earrings from my shop, available in various sizes. Click here to see the matching set:

Full excerpt from the letter:

"But my soul is a passionate dancer, it leaps to an inner dance music that only I hear and others do not. Everyone screams at me to be still, and you too, but my soul does not listen to you when dancing with joy, and when the dance is over, then it is over with me."
— Bettina von Arnim

Material & Care
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, and therefore nickel-free.
The pendant will never lose its color, as the metal is gold-colored throughout.
If it tarnishes, you can easily restore its shine. The simplest home method is toothpaste (do not use bio-toothpaste). Apply directly from the tube, rub over the metal, rinse well, and dry.

As I handcraft each piece myself, slight variations from the photo may occur.
