Video summary: here's a little peek into my jewelry process when I'm not working with antique wax seals or trinkets ... first carving the ideas in wax and then sand casting the wax before finishing them up

Impressed with history!

Frequently asked questions

Sizing and Details

Unsure of the size of a wax seal pendant? Please be sure to read our detailed descriptions carefully - you'll find accurate measurements in both inches and millimeters.

The wax seal pendant is created by impressing an actual antique wax seal into the silver so the size of the pendant is dependent on the size of the original antique seal … some are very small and some are larger and this is not accurately reflected in the enlarged photos.
The sentiment or text on many of the wax seal pendants is tiny, faint and challenging to read because that’s the actual impression from the original antique seal, which is often tiny and faint.

Engraving and Personalization

Sorry, we don't engrave the wax seal charms but check with your local jeweler and perhaps they can do the engraving for you.

Ring Sizing

If your ring size is not included in the drop down box of ring sizes we can likely still make a custom sized ring for you.
Simply select "other" from the drop down box and add a note, with your ring size, to your order.
Custom rings are not returnable.

Care Instructions

Sterling silver tarnishes/reacts when exposed to the elements: salty air, humidity, sulfur, chlorine, salts, cosmetics, perspiration, household bleach and other chemicals.
When not wearing your jewelry store it in the glass top container it arrived in, with that black anti-tarnish square. You can remove the cotton ~ that was used to protect it during shipping.
To prevent tarnish as much as possible, avoid wearing your jewelry in the shower, pools, hot tubs and ocean. Avoid wearing it while exercising, cleaning, applying body lotions, fragrances and hair products, etc.

If the high areas begin to tarnish gently rub a silver polishing cloth over the area to be shined:

Can I order an oxidized chain with the necklace?

Yes, we're happy to oxidize the chain for you.
Simply, select the chain length and add the item to your shopping cart. Once in the shopping cart, under the photo of the item, notice the box that says "Add a note to suegrayjewelry (optional)" and write "oxidize chain" in the box.

Packaging and Gift Giving

Your wax seal jewelry item will arrive in a small glass topped tin along with an informational card describing the provenance and symbolism of the antique wax seal from which it was impressed.
The entire order is tucked into a signature cloth bag, wrapped in tissue.

Is this a gift? Simply enter the recipients address at checkout and include a short personalized note and we will include a handwritten note tag on your behalf ~ it’s a small tag so please keep it brief.
*Please note, orders going to different addresses will need to be ordered separately so that you can enter the address for each destination.
Receipts are not included in the packaging since they are emailed to you when you place the order.
