Wax seal charm depicting a Griffin with an iron cross in the center heart region. Antique wax seal jewelry pendant made in solid bronze.
The Griffin has a special meaning of strength, courage and boldness.
The 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. In heraldry, the legendary Griffin denotes strength, intelligence, courage and leadership.
Griffins not only mated for life, but also, if either partner died, would continue throughout the rest of its life alone, never to search for a new mate.
This particular charm was made using an authentic antique wax seal from Scotland. The wax seal dates back to the Victorian 19th Century.
Note:
* this listing is for one wax seal charm
* no frills - shipped with no meaning card, no gift packaging
* the charm is made of solid bronze
* the size is about 20x18mm
The wax seal charms are made by hand in Myrtle Beach, SC by RQP Studio.
Please note that the charm has been through a oxidization process to give it an antique, vintage patina. The antique seal has been pressed into the bronze by hand, and this gives each and every wax seal charm a unique look. The charms are hallmarked on the back with the RQP logo stamp. The wax seal charm you will receive is similar to the ones in the pictures.
