Wax Insignia Pendants... Confession Time!

We’re total suckers for historical fiction and period movies. I know we should all be glad we live in a modern world with modern conveniences like plumbing and don’t have to worry about catching the Bubonic Plague. But just once I wouldn’t mind running down the corridor of a dark castle lit by torches in a 200-pound gown cinched so tight around my ribs I could faint at any moment but no I must stop my beloved from galloping across the moat to a certain and gory death... That will probably never happen, but that’s why we love our new necklaces from Wax Insignia. These pendants are inspired by the tradition of finishing letters with a wax seal that speaks to who you are or what you believe (like a fair maiden sealing a parchment written by candlelight telling her prince that the King has fallen ill and it’s his most trusted advisor who is poisoning him!). Made from silver and brass, they’re hand cast and antiqued by a family of Italian artisans in Florence using molds that have existed for generations. They’re romantic yet casual, they make a great gift, and you won’t even be beheaded for wearing one.
