Love makes us one......
This is the impression of an antique wax letter seal which dates from the early 1800's. These wax seals were use to secure correspondence and they were often used as little messages themselves, revealing something about the sender. The messages were sometimes romantic, political, and wise as well as utilising historical heraldry, mottos and fables.......
This one features the image of two hearts joined together. The hearts are on fire with a burning love :-) The text states 'Love makes us one'. This is a beautiful romantic miniature piece of sentimental art, which speaks from the past, and is made wearable and relevant once more!
Size.....
This charm measures 14.10mm across. This measurement is approx. however as each one is hand made individually.

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.
