These cufflinks were cast from an antique wax seal stamp from the 1800's. These were used to seal letters and correspondence and come is a huge verity of designs, mottos, sentiments, heraldry and proverbs...
This early hand carved wax seal features an anchor with the handcarved words 'Proved by the Storm' The storm could refer to any ordeal or time of chaos and destruction which has been overcome. The anchor is a symbol of hope. An emblem of stability and safety.
Together this seal is a statement of triumph over adversity..........

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.
