Hand crafted from a Victorian era (1837 - 1901) glass block wax seal.

More chains, charm catchers and swivel fobs found here.

Pearls are full of symbolism, often varying by period and culture, and in Victorian England they were symbolic of tears.  If you'd like to add a pearl to your necklace you can find it here.

In several photographs I've gathered some gorgeous sentimental wax seal charms.  You can find this forget me not charm here, and while I have several forget me nots I selected this one because I like to think it's shedding a tear, off to the right, though it may be shedding a petal.
The weeping willow tree shading an urn sitting on top of the REMEMBER ME plinth can be found here.

The last photo depicts the same sentimental wax seal necklace in a larger size THOUGH LOST TO SIGHT TO MEMORY DEAR and it is available here.

Impressed with history!
