For a special Christmas broken china jewelry gift to celebrate the holidays, consider these pendant necklaces handmade from china piece handcut from the celebrated Spode Christmas Tree china pattern, and paired with sterling silver settings and chains. Six pendant designs are available, each cut from a different spot on the plate: Santa Claus at the top of the tree, a strand of ornaments, the small yellow house tucked among the branches, a toy soldier, or one of two different gift designs from beneath the tree.

Spode first introduced the Christmas Tree pattern in 1938, designed for the American market at the request of the company's US representative. The design quickly became one of the first widely recognized holiday china patterns sold in the US, with its now-familiar Santa, gifts, and small yellow house scattered through the branches. Turning a plate into a pendant lets you enjoy that pattern in an everyday piece, without needing to bring out a full holiday china set.

This necklace makes an early-season gift for the Spode collector, the vintage-jewelry fan, or anyone drawn to the nostalgia of this pattern: choose whichever motif feels most like her holiday.
