This sterling silver necklace featuring a crow or raven with a beautiful meaningful religious motto in Latin and a tiny highly detailed two sided raven
This wax seal charm 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...
This seal features the image of a raven. The text around the edge states in Latin 'Deus Pascit Corvus'. This Translates to 'God feeds the Ravens'. This refers to an excerpt from the bible: Luke 12:24 "
Consider the Ravens: they do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable are you than birds"
I found these tiny raven charms and added them to the wax seal to add a of whimsy and a little something special to the amulet.

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.
