This pendant features the impression from an antique wax letter seal. It was cast in 100% sterling silver. This particular seal features the image of a coat of arms or family heraldry from the nineteenth century.
This wax seal pendant features a Lion in the rampant position. The lion has always held a high place in heraldry as the emblem of deathless courage, and hence, that of a valiant warrior. It is said to be the lively image of a good soldier, who must be 'valiant in courage, strong of body, politic in council, and a foe to fear.'

Wax Seal Jewelry......
Each piece offered for sale is an imprint or cast of an antique wax seal from my personal collection. I use 100% sterling silver as this has the strength and durability needed for a piece of jewelry that is to be worn for years. All the jumps rings, clasps etc, are also sterling silver and each part is soldered, also for strength and durability. My intention is to make a piece that could become an heirloom too and for it to last generations.
Each piece is individually handmade and therefore no two pieces will be exactly the same, they will however be extremely similar. The mark of the maker has been purposely left on the casts. The signs of age, cracks and tool marks all add to the charm of the piece and are an intentional feature.
