This wax seal necklace tells the ancient Aseop children's fable of "The Lion and the Mouse". It depicts a a lion caught in a hunters net with a mouse gnawing at the ropes, with tje Italian caption reading "PATIENCE". The Moral of the Story: A kindness is never wasted, even the smallest friend is worth while.

This necklace serves as a reminder to never underestimate the underdog, always treat people with respect and gratitude.

“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.” ~ Plato
“Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” ~ Mark Twain
Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you. ~Princess Diana

SIZING • All of our photos are enlarged to show the details of the jewelry and pieces appear larger then they actually are. Please read the listings D E T A I L S section so you're not surprised or disappointed when you receive your order. VARIATIONS IN COLOR • Silver is highly reflective and very hard to photograph, so what may seem as "dark areas" or "discolorations" are truly reflections. We do not make modifications to the finish or patina for just this reason. If you think your charm may be "too dark" we recommend purchasing a polishing pad from our store (link below) so that you can adjust it as you see fit, not to mention it will keep all your jewelry looking great!

Shop confidently on Etsy knowing if something goes wrong with an order, we've got your back for all eligible purchases — see program terms

Your jewelry has been oxidized to bring out the detail of the charm so it is not recommended that you use any silver creams or dips to clean it. Simply clean with warm soapy water and buff with a soft polishing cloth until you're happy with the look. Store your jewelry in a resealable plastic bag to delay tarnishing and prevent scratches when not in use. We do not recommend wearing your jewelry in the ocean, pools or hot tubs.

We sell polishing pads in our shop. We highly recommend these little pads for restoring the luster to your jewelry and removing any tarnish that has built up - they really do the job!
