Wax seal necklace with a mythical griffin crest, and with motto in Latin "Yield Not To Misfortunes". Antique wax seal jewelry in silver.
The motto framing this piece reads in Latin:
Ne Cede Malis
(Yield Not To Misfortunes)
Yield not to misfortunes, but advance all the more boldly against them.
The demi rampant griffin is holding a crosier (a shepherd's staff). It is showing how to lead the way with strength, courage and boldness, all character traits of which the griffin represents. The wings are elevated and covered in tiny stars, symbolic of excellence.
The mythical griffin is the most powerful and majestic of all creatures. With the rear body of a lion and the head, wings, forelegs and talons of an eagle, the combination makes the griffin especially fierce. It denotes strength, intelligence, courage and leadership.
The antique seal impression used in making this necklace dates back to the early 1800's, it originates from England.

The wax seal charm necklaces are made by hand in Myrtle Beach, SC by RQP Studio.
This pendant is made of fine silver .999 (which is 99.9% pure silver), and a 18" sterling silver chain is included (sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver). Please note that the pendant has been through a oxidization process to give it an antique, vintage patina. The antique seal has been pressed into the silver by hand, and this makes each and every wax seal pendant unique. The wax seal charms are hallmarked on the reverse with the RQP logo stamp and a silver content stamp (.999) to show that the silver content is 99.9% pure silver. The wax seal necklace you will receive is similar to the ones in the pictures.
Helpful hints:
* Some of the images (above) of the wax seal necklaces have been photographed close-up. If you have a hard time imagining the size of the charms, then it can be helpful to physically draw the dimensions of the wax seal charm on a piece of paper.
*You can type in the words "mm to in" into Google's search box, that will give you a quick converter if you prefer the dimensions measured in inches.
