wax seal jewelry
Hand crafted by impressing antique wax seals into sterling silver creating meaningful jewelry that connects the past to the present.
Historically, a wax seal was used in correspondence ... the wax seal (stamp) was impressed into a small pool of melted wax, creating a wax seal that would securely bond a letter closed.
The antique wax seals used to impress into wax seal jewelry are from our personal collection and date as far back as the 14th century.
The imagery on every wax seal is well researched so that we can share its meaning in heraldry and history, translate the sentiments and mottos inscribed, often in other languages, and identify text so small that it is difficult to read.
