Hand crafted from a well aged, early 14th century medieval wax seal that was once part of a swivel seal, with a lion on the back side, the wax seal a bit corroded after spending centuries in the ground before being unearthed.

More chains, charm catchers and swivel fobs are available here.  And if you'd prefer an oxidized chain (antiqued) to the shiny chain shown, simply make this request at checkout in the "add a note to your order" box.

Impressed with history!
