Sinking ship wax seal necklace pendant ... a sinking ship in the presence of the rainbow is surrounded by the sentiment QUID TU, SI PEREO?
which if Latin translates TO WHAT AVAIL IF I PERISH?
but in Italian it translates WHEN YOU SEE IT

Queen Elizabeth delighted in these whimsical impress devices that helped to convey her sentiments and this was one of her favorites! A hopeful token without good effects.
