witch wax seal necklace - all have their hobbies - wax seal jewelry
More bewitching witch wax seal jewelry ... another slightly smaller little oval witch wax seal necklace pendant, the witch wearing her conical hat, raising her hammer and flying on her broomstick surrounded by the sentiment ALL HAVE THEIR HOBBIES. Notice the interesting prong detail surrounding the witch on the impression.
The raised hammer is likely in reference to Mallevs Maleficarvm or Malleus Maleficarum, possibly Latin which translates to The Hammer of Witches, a book completed in 1486 about detecting and punishing witches.
- approximate measurement - almost 3/4" x 5/8" (18mm x 15mm)
- the sentiment lettering is worn with time and fine on the wax seal necklace charm
- shown with a US dime and an inch ruler for scale
- wax seal charm metal - sterling silver (.925 silver)
- chain - a sterling silver cable chain with a spring ring clasp
- select the necklace chain length or just the charm at checkout
Hand crafted from an antique Victorian era (1837 - 1901) witch gilt metal and paste wax seal fob that came with an ouroboros split ring on its loop. It's one of the first antique wax seals I acquired when I began collecting.
The last photo depicts my antique witch wax seal collection.
