Wax seal necklace depicting the golden apple, referring to Eris, the goddess of Chaos. Antique wax seal charm jewelry with French motto "To The Most Beautiful" in silver.
The words framing this piece reads in French:
À La Plus Belle
(to the most beautiful )
This wax seal necklace symbolizes one who enjoys to "stir the pot" and have a good laugh. A true prankster at heart.
The wax seal motto refers to Eris, the Greek goddess of Chaos and a goddess of fate. She was sister of Ares, the War God, and she was certainly notorious in her own right. She was the one known to "stir the pot", creating trouble, agitating a situation to cause a reaction.
In one of her most famous exploits, she inscribed "to the most beautiful" on the Golden Apple and tossed in the midst of the feast of the gods at the wedding of Peleus and Thetis. This sparked a vanity-fueled dispute among Hera, Athena and Aphrodite that eventually led to the Trojan War.
Nowadays Eris is held in the highest esteem by all pranksters.
The wax seal used in creating this charm dates back to 1827, an authentic antique wax seal from France.

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.

Helpful hints:

*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.
