This handcrafted wax seal necklace features a horseshoe. 
Horseshoes are often hung over the outside thresholds of houses 
and barns to protect and bring good luck.




Peace of Mind Wax Seal Necklace

This handcrafted wax seal necklace reads Je Console, 
which means I Comfort. 
Anchors, which are used to keep vessels from going adrift in strong wind or current, 
represent stability and peace of mind.

Leaf Wax Seal Necklace

This handcrafted wax seal necklace reads Je Ne Change Qu Mourant in French 
which means I Do Not Change, Except In Death. 
Shown is the bay leaf which is symbolic of steadfastness.





Pathfinder Wax Seal Necklace

This handcrafted wax seal necklace features a running fox.
 The Celts believed that the fox was a guide.
 The fox’s entire body is pointed like an arrow: straight and tightly aimed. 
This is a symbolic message for us to set a determined mindset in order to achieve our desires.
