Mermaid necklace.... Eloquence. Antique wax seal jewelry.
This lovely sterling silver necklace features the tiny image of a beautiful mermaid combing her hair. Mermaids are the symbol of Eloquence.
This pendant was cast from an antique wax seal 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...
The image on this Pendant features a Mermaid in her traditional pose, holding a comb and mirror. A Mermaid is one of the favourite emblems of the sea-farer. She has long been held as the symbol of Eloquence. This is a solid sterling silver piece with a good weight and a fairly chunky feel for it's small size.
This pendant measures approx. 13mm at its widest. This size is only approximate though because each piece is made individually by hand and may vary slightly.
The last image is a picture of the explanation card you will receive with your wax seal jewellery.

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.
