Victory or death!
Vincere Aut Mort
This is an impression of a wax letter seal which dates from the early 1800’s.
This seal features a shield with the Latin phrase ‘Vincere Aut Mort. This translates to ‘victory or death’.
The shield contains the images of a lion (courage) and out stretched hand (sincerity) and a trio of stars (aim for nothing less than the stars)
This pendant is perfect to remind us to give our all in everything we do. To never give up and to have the courage to risk it all.
Size.......
The pendant measures approx. 14.5mm . This may alter slightly due to the fact that each one is made individually by hand.

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.
