Resist Everything Except Temptation Pendant | Oscar Wilde Quote | Far Fetched Sterling Silver
Oscar Wilde gets the last word again: 'I can resist everything except temptation,' his most durable one-liner, here committed permanently to silver. Few jewelry inscriptions earn a laugh on first read; this one reliably does, which makes it a quotation that wears far better than most resolutions.

Far Fetched set the line on a .925 sterling silver pendant measuring 0.875" x 1" — generous enough that the words stay legible to anyone standing close, which is rather the point. At 4.047 grams it hangs with quiet authority, and a sterling jump ring comes already attached, so it moves straight onto whatever chain you favor.
This is a vintage piece from Far Fetched, the American handcraft brand whose word jewelry has become quietly collectible. It suits literature lovers, theater people, recovering perfectionists, and anyone whose sense of humor arrives half a second ahead of their better judgment. As a gift it flatters the recipient's wit, which is the rarest kind of compliment.
Wilde would have approved — and then asked to borrow it.
