Wax Seal Cachet Ring

Size 5 US
Sterling Silver

Side 1 ∙ A cliff in a storm and the phrase, "calm au sein des orages/calm in the middle/worst part of the storm'
Side 2 ∙ A greyhound running with a letter in its mouth and the phrase, "je suis pressé/I am in a hurry"

On one side, a cliff battered by a tempestuous storm. A reminder to stay composed even when life gets rocky. This would also be a wonderful gift for anyone living a fast-paced yet intentional life or anyone planning a great life event (brides! moms-to-be!). The opposite side, the racing dog acts as courier for an important message. The image symbolizes the pace of life and the relentless effort to juggle responsibilities. And still we run on! The other side honors the courageous, the unflappable, the even-keeled person in your life (or you yourself!)

This ring is from the Jean Jean Cachet Collection is a captivating range of reversible antique wax seal jewelry. The Victorians used wax seals to stamp all of their correspondence and the choice of which seal to use was intensely personal and powerful. The seal was the first thing that the reader would see — a preview to what was written inside. With the Cachet Collection, antique wax seals become wearable "objets d'art": small reminders of the big sentiments that rule us all. The messages and images on the seals are timeless, carrying just as much meaning for us today they did for people almost two centuries ago.

Box shown for display purposes only, not included nor for sale, but ring will ship in a lovely new cushioned ring box that is perfectly suited for presentation.
