Raven
In heraldry, the raven is a symbol of knowledge and intelligence.
Mythical Viking tales speak of Odin's two ravens, Huginn (thought) and Muninn (mind). Each day the ravens flew out in the world to gather information to bring back to Odin (god of wisdom poetry, death, divination, and magic).
The raven represents a person with a love of knowledge.
The antique wax seal used in making this necklace dates back to the 19th Century, it originates from England.

The wax seal charm necklaces are made by hand in Myrtle Beach, SC by RQP Studio.
The charm is made of fine silver .999 (which is 99.9% pure silver), and a delicate 18" sterling silver chain is included (sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver). Please note that the wax seal charm 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.
