Celebrate a dear friend with this interesting friendship wax seal necklace ... a friendship gift with Father Time plucking the wings of Cupid sending the message that friendship is love without wings.  Meaningful wax seal jewelry.

Father Time with wings is equipped with a scythe, similar to Mignard's (1694) Time Clipping Cupid's Wings, holding Cupid with his bow and arrow and surrounded by the French sentiment L'AMITIÉ EST L'AMOUR SANS AILES which translates FRIENDSHIP IS LOVE WITHOUT WINGS.

- symbolism -
In 1806 Lord Byron wrote a poem "L'amitié est l'amour sans ailes" describing true friendship as love without wings because true friends will not ever fail us, always there in times of need and also to share our happiness.
