This wax seal pendant was cast from an antique stamp from the 1800's. These were used to seal letters and correspondence and come is a huge variety of designs, mottos, sentiments, heraldry and proverbs...
This seal's message is in the form of a rebus puzzle. That is, words and imagery are used to convey it's meaning. The message states 'My (Heart) with love is beating. This is a wonderful romantic letter seal from the early 1800's The lettering is perhaps not as crisp as some of my other seals, but is definitely still legible, (and all the letters are still there). For a piece that's 200 years old I think it's pretty good! It also means that the message can stay between you and whomever wears it. It will however come with an explanation card (as seen on picture 5) just incase it's needed.
Size.......
This pendant measures approx. 13.5mm across the centre. This may vary however due to the fact that each piece is individually handmade.

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.
