YOUR'S &c wax seal necklace
Step back in time with a really interesting wax seal necklace with Victorian era symbolism not often seen today, a YOUR's &c wax seal necklace, historic wax seal jewelry.
- symbolism -
YOUR'S &c was once a common valediction, closing salutation or complimentary close in letter writing, a way to end a letter on behalf of yourself and others.
&c is a Latin, or Roman depending on the source, abbreviation for et cetera or etc.
I've included some photos with the YOUR'S &c valediction examples used in the 1807 Chesterfields LETTER WRITER and complete book of etiquette.
