A small ship wax seal necklace with the words SUCH IS LIFE, wax seal jewelry to remind us that just as a ship needs to weather unpredictable storms, so must we. There is a small compass rose on the backside of the necklace giving you just a little more direction (shown in the first photo).

"You cannot direct the wind but you can adjust the sails." ~ a German proverb
