Freedom..... Wings pendant.
This is the image of an antique wax letter seal. This seal dates to the 1790’s, and would have been used to seal correspondence.
This seal features the image of a pair of wings. In heraldry a pair of wings is also know as a Vol. Winged creatures were often messengers of the gods, and are a symbol of freedom and spirituality.
Wings give the owner power and independence to reach their dreams and attain their goals. The freedom to reach for the stars.
‘Alis volat propriis’ is a common Latin ‘charge’ used in heraldry. This translates to ‘they fly with their own wings”.
So here are a pair of wings for you to fly with.....
This pendant measures 24mm x 15mm. This may alter slightly as each pendant is made by hand.

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.
