Before I talk about metal bookmarks or bookmarks in general, let me ask you this –
Have you ever read a line so magical you had to shut the book… just to sit with it? To breathe it in? To let it rest inside you for a moment?
Have you?
If yes, you are a true reader.
A true feeler. Of emotions.
A true traveler. Of words.
And if this makes your heart glow, here’s a big virtual hug, bestie!
Because this little corner of the internet? This little Wonderland section? It was made with you in mind.
And if you haven’t yet come across a line so magical it makes you stop in your tracks, I’ve got The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse book review waiting for you. So when you pick it up, the magic will feel even more alive.
About Books & Bookmarks
Imagine stepping into a vast library where every shelf is a beach, and each book a seashell whispering a story.
You open one, and suddenly you’re drifting through words the way a sailor drifts through uncharted waters.
The sentences rise like waves, the paragraphs pull you into their currents, and the chapters are islands you stop to rest upon before setting sail again.
Now, in a journey this endless, how would you ever find your way back?
That’s where the bookmark appears, not just a strip of paper, but a lighthouse glowing in the distance. It steadies the restless tides, whispering, “Here is where you left off. Here is where the story waits for you.”
Sometimes it feels like a thread of starlight stretched across galaxies, keeping you tethered while you wander among the constellations of imagination.
Other times, it’s a compass, quietly turning north, ensuring you never lose yourself in the labyrinth of tales.
A bookmark, so to speak, isn’t merely an object; it’s the silent companion of every reader’s adventure, the anchor that allows us to leave a world and return, without ever breaking the spell.
What Type Of Bookmarks To Use?
I am guilty of using whatever was closest: boarding passes, crumpled receipts, café napkins, even a chocolate wrapper. Super embarrassed for the last one; a book of mine still carries a faint cocoa stain. 🙈
Well, each one had its charm. (The wrapper? Not so much though! But well… Humans. We make mistakes.)
But here’s the truth I decoded a while back. Scraps like these lead us back to their stories, and not the one waiting inside the book.
It was true, at least, in my case.
Because, for me, the boarding pass took me back to the trip I had taken.
The napkin made me think of the café and the food it offered.
The chocolate wrapper, well, let’s not talk about that!!!
And so on…
Only and ONLY and ONLY a bookmark belongs fully to the book.
Why? How?
Because it’s chosen for books, devoted to books, especially for books.
So any bookmark that is NOT a scrap is the type of bookmark you need to have! 🙂
Why? Let me answer…
Why A Proper Bookmark? Why Not A Scrap?
Placing a proper bookmark is like leaving a lantern glowing in the forest of words.
An act of mindfulness.
Receipts and tickets? They’re hurried messengers that say, “This is where you stopped.”
But a bookmark whispers, “This is where you felt.”
It holds the laughter/sadness that curled in the chest, the silence that sat beside, the thoughts that bloomed like wildflowers in the margins, the actions you anticipated taking, and so much more…
A bookmark doesn’t just remember the page. It remembers you.
It’s a memory-keeper.
A secret-keeper.
A tiny lighthouse of our inner sea, guiding us back to our emotions.
And so, each time you slip one between the leaves of a book, it becomes a crystal ball, not just holding the page, but holding the exact version of you who once sat there.
Not possible with scraps, trust me! And that’s why book lovers have a (not-so) secret affair with bookmarks.
Book Lovers’ (Not-So) Secret Affair With Bookmarks
Every, and I mean it, every book lover I’ve met has an eye for beauty.
(Beauty, however, could mean different things to different people.)
But we’re, majorly, aesthetic creatures. We collect little things that make our inner worlds glow. Pressed flowers, handwritten letters, postcards with fading edges. Bookmarks fit right into this tender treasure chest.
For us, they’re not about necessity. They’re about delight. They’re about saying, “This story deserves more than a scrap of paper. It deserves art.”
And that’s where our secret affair with bookmarks takes root.
Owning bookmarks is almost like curating a wardrobe for your books.
Some people flaunt sneakers. We flaunt slivers of magic between our pages.
(I promise I’ll show you mine, though my collection is currently sitting back home in Chandigarh while I’m in Mumbai. A picture incoming soon! 📚💕).
But Why Spend on a Bookmark?
Now, let’s address the obvious. Why pay for a bookmark when you could use, well, literally anything?
Because. “JUST BECAUSE…” (If the meme flashed before your eyes too, we live in the same era, hehe). Anyhow…
Because art comes at a price. And true readers, like true artists, don’t mind investing in what resonates with them.
Think of it this way… buying a bookmark is like buying jewelry, not cutlery.
You don’t need it.
You want it because it resonates. Because it feels like you.
If you see a fairy perched on the moon, her wings spread like whispers of starlight, and something inside you sighs, “That’s mine,” the price fades.
What you’re buying isn’t a bookmark. It’s a mood. A vibe. A piece of your own story reflected back at you.
And that’s why I already have it!
And you can have it too. Yayyy!
Saffron Scrolls’ Metal Bookmarks – Sheer Art!
I got this beautiful bookmark from Saffron Scrolls.
Look at it! JUST LOOK AT IT. I don’t mean to shout, but BEAUTYYYYYYYY!
Look how the bookmark features a delicate crescent moon, slender and luminous in its design. Perched gracefully on the curve is a fairy, her wings finely detailed, almost like gossamer catching the light. She sits in a quiet pose, as though resting mid-dream (perhaps reading a book herself), her silhouette perfectly balanced against the arc of the moon. The overall look is whimsical and enchanting, simple yet filled with a touch of magic, as if a fragment of the night sky was pressed into the pages of a book.
When I was little and someone asked who I wanted to be, my answer was always simple: a fairy.
And being the moon girl that I am, this bookmark feels like it was written in the stars just for me.
Another proof that what’s meant for you will always find its way. ALWAYS! 🙂
Anyway, what I was saying is that their metal bookmarks aren’t just accessories, they’re little works of art.
Each design by Saffron Scrolls is intricate, lasting, and crafted with care. Unlike paper bookmarks, they don’t curl or fade and that’s the best part. They age gracefully, carrying your stories with them.
Every time you place it between pages, it reminds you that reading is a kind of magic, and even in the middle of your day, you’re carrying a piece of that wonder. How dreamy! How beautiful!
