A skull and wings wax seal charm necklace that was inspired by the beautiful old stone carvings on the gravestones in historic cemeteries back in the 1700's.

- description -
The wings wax seal charm and the skull wax seal charm are connected with one ring and suspended on the chain as one.

- symbolism -
In heraldry, the wings symbolize swiftness and protection.
The skull is symbolic of mortality.
Memento mori, a reminder that death comes to all living things and life is short so make now matter.

- approximate measurement - wings 3/4” (19mm), skull almost 3/8” (10mm)
- wax seal charm metal - sterling silver (.925 silver)
*** charms only - chain available separately here. 
- photographed with an old US dime for scale

The wings wax seal charm was hand cast from a lovely bronze antique armorial wax seal and the tiny skull from just a portion of an antique Georgian wheel wax seal (1714 - 1830).

More chains, charm catchers and dog clips 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.
