Wear a little bit of whimsy with this comet wax seal necklace, the comet with its tail is surrounded by the sentiment HEREBY HANGS A TALE.
The words are a bit of a challenge to read.

I'm really not sure if this is a comet with its tail or a shooting star trailing a plume of vapor or fire 

- symbolism -
Comets are somewhat common in heraldry but their meaning is unknown.
This one, surrounded by the words HEREBY HANGS A TALE suggests there's a story to tell. I sense a bit of gossip?
