This pendant was cast from an antique wax seal stamp from the 1800's. These were used to seal letters and correspondence and come is a huge variety of designs, mottos, sentiments, heraldry and proverbs...
This wax seal features the image of a length of rope tied into a sailors knot. This would have been made at seas by a sailor on a long voyage for his sweetheart at home. Thus conveying the message to her to stay safe and wait for him!
This seal measures approx. 10.5mm across (these are all hand made individually so this may vary slightly) The length of the bracelet is up to you and can be chosen from the drop down menu at checkout. The bracelet closes with a lovely teardrop lobster clasp.
The Amulet and bracelet are both 100% sterling silver and the back of the Amulet is stamped .925
Each link is soldered shut to help prevent losing your SWALK original.
This bracelet will come boxed and ribboned and ready for giving.
It also comes with a professionally printed explanation card.

Wax Seal Jewelry......
Each piece offered for sale is an imprint or cast of an antique wax seal from my personal collection. I use 100% sterling silver as this has the strength and durability needed for a piece of jewelry that is to be worn for years. All the jumps rings, clasps etc, are also sterling silver and each part is soldered, also for strength and durability. My intention is to make a piece that could become an heirloom too and for it to last generations.
Each piece is individually handmade and therefore no two pieces will be exactly the same, they will however be extremely similar. The mark of the maker has been purposely left on the casts. The signs of age, cracks and tool marks all add to the charm of the piece and are an intentional feature.
