Jewelry Made From Vintage Books By Jeremy May

What do you do with old books? Store them in a bookshelf, maybe give them away? But have you thought about turning them into exquisite jewelry? British jewelry artist Jeremy May has.

“ Jeremy May has captured the beauty of paper via a unique laminating process. Littlefly paper jewelry is made by laminating hundreds sheets of paper together, then carefully finishing to a high gloss, ” reads the artist’s website.

The idea behind his jewelry is that no two pieces are the same: “ Each piece is impossible to replicate, and is unique to the wearer. ”

Precise cutouts turn into modern looking rings, bracelets, earrings and so on, bringing life back to your favorite classic books.
