Item: Bicycle Necklace
Seller:  unexpectedexpectancy

How cool is this necklace selling on Etsy?  The seller (unexpectedexpectancy) is selling this awesome necklace for $12.50 – and I think it’s so unique!

This necklace is made with an old fashioned Penny Farthing pendant.  Now, before we go on with more details about this necklace, let me make one small confession.  I had to Google “Penny Farthing” because I had no idea what it was.  Turns out, Penny Farthing is a term used to describe a type of bicycle with a large front wheel and a much smaller rear wheel.  This type of bicycle was popular until the development of the safety bicycle in the 1880s.  I’ve seen tons images of these cool Penny Farthing bicycles – and now I know what to call them!

One of the things that I like best about this necklace is that it’s on a brass chain.  It would be a super awesome piece in my jewelry box!  The chain measures 15 inches long.  The seller (unexpectedexpectancy) notes in the Etsy item description that this pendant is on a shorter chain so that it sits at the breastbone.

After seeing this fun necklace, I realized I really have a thing for bicycles!  In case you missed them, here are some other bike-inspired items I have featured recently:

• Etsy note cards with a vintage bicycle printed
• These awesome bicycle silverware holders
• Another set of lovely bicycle notecards
