The words framing this piece reads in French: La Raison Fait Ma Force (Reason Is My Strength).
Reason is a means by which thinking comes from one idea to a related idea. It is the way rational beings propose and consider explanations concerning cause and effect, true and false, and what is good or bad. The heraldic symbol of the elephant has the special meaning of great strength and wit.
The wax seal charms are made by hand in Myrtle Beach, SC by RQP Studio. They are made from a personal collection of antique wax seals that dates from 1730's to 1890's. The wax seal used in creating this charm is from the 1840’s, a French multi seal from the Napoleon III of France era.
The words are in French and can be read with a magnifying glass, lettering is tiny and some letters may be not fully legible.
This charm is made of fine silver .999 (which is 99.9% pure silver), and an 18" sterling silver chain is included (sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver).
Please note that the patina on the wax seal charm has been through a oxidization process to give it a antique, vintage look. The wax seal has been pressed into the silver by hand, and this makes each and every wax seal a unique different look. The wax seal charms are hallmarked on the back 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 you will be receiving is similar to the ones in the picture.
The wax seal charm and chain comes beautifully packaged in a clear gift box with information of the particular seal used and what it means.
We hope you'll enjoy wearing it!
