Helping Hands Necklace

5j Helping Hands Necklace in Gold.

Notes

Brass hands, often called book hands or page holders, are elegant metal clips crafted in the shape of a hand that were traditionally used to hold books open with care. Designed to gently press against the pages without creasing or tearing, they allowed readers, scholars, and collectors to study or display a book hands-free while protecting its delicate paper and binding. These tools were especially valued for old and rare volumes, where preserving condition was essential.

Even tiny versions were created for use with miniature books—showing both practicality and artistry in the world of book collecting. This lovely miniature hand charm is reminiscent of these hands which we use daily to display our rarest treasures.
