A wax seal necklace for the Shakespeare lover or for those of us who have thought better of an initial reaction, a wonderful rapier, a short sword, surrounded by the sentiment TIS BETTER AS IT IS.  Thoughtful and meaningful wax seal jewelry.

- symbolism -
The sentiment TIS BETTER AS IT IS derives from The Tragedy of Othello by William Shakespeare, in Act 1, scene 2 and means that it's better that you didn't (kill him). The rapier is a short sword with a slender and sharply-pointed two-edged blade and is used for thrusting. 
In heraldry, the rapier, or sword, represents justice.

- approximate measurement - just over 5/8” x 5/8" (17mm x 15mm)
