These gorgeous earrings form part of our latest collection in the tree of life range. Made with impeccable precision and flair, the design forms the basis of the tree spreading its branches in a soft flowing motion, giving the impression of the tree being delicate but with strong roots to support life. Exceptionally pretty and dainty with a pierced cut design to showcase the delicate detail in all its glory. The tree of life is a symbol of eternal life and spirituality recognized the world over. It is also believed to be a symbol of immortality, as a tree grows old, it still bears the fruits and seed of life, so in this way the tree becomes immortal.In modern times the tree of life is often given to your loved one to wish them 'long life. With so much history and sentiment surrounding this piece of jewellery it comes as no surprise as to why we can all associate with the tree of life on so many levels. It would also be deemed perfect for a first time mother as the tree also represents new life.
This is the impression of an antique wax letter seal. This seal was used to secure letters and correspondence in the nineteenth century. It is one of the smallest pendants in the shop and is dainty and petite..... yet the antique image is perfect and crisp and a close up photograph shows how perfect the craftsmanship was on the original seal.
This wax seal impression features a raven. As a collector of bright objects, the raven stands for the symbol of knowledge. It is also the emblem for divine providence.
The shield shape is the emblem of protection and secure covering.....
Size.........
The pendant measures approx. 10.03mm . 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.
