VICTORIAN REBUS PUZZLE INTAGLIO WAX SEAL FOB "I LOVE YOU"

Keep a weather eye on Metal Corset II for jewelry reproduced in sterling silver depicting this spectacular Victorian rebus puzzle wax seal fob.

A rebus is an illusional device that uses pictures to represent words or parts of words.  

This rebus intaglio depicts an eye (I), winged cherub/cupid holding a bow (love) and a yew tree (you) = I love you.

What a great "expression of love" to give that special someone dear to heart.

Keep a weather eye on Metal Corset II for sterling silver jewelry created with this impressive Georgian, around 1759, memento mori wax seal fob.

Memento mori is a Latin phrase translated to, "Remember you will die."  You know, kind of an ecclesiastical way of keeping humanity in check. :-)

This Georgian wax seal fob depicts a crowned skull and crossbones under the motto, "MEMENTO MORI," flanked by a sovereign's orb and fleur de lis sceptor.

Last photo shows the impression in sterling silver.

ANTIQUE VICTORIAN REBUS WAX SEAL FOB INTAGLIO "I HOPE YOU ARE WELL"

I absolutely love these symbolic wax seal fob intaglios.  This one is called a rebus which is defined as a puzzle in which words are represented by combinations of pictures and individual letters.

The intaglio depicts an eye (I), maiden leaning on an anchor (hope), yew tree (you), the letter R (are), and a well (well).   I HOPE YOU ARE WELL.

1845 MEMENTO MORI SKULL AND CROSSBONES TEMPUS FUGIT ARMORIAL WAX SEAL

Yet another incredibly rare find!  It's a memento mori wax seal on a German document written to Judge Edward Zeiss dated May 24, 1845 (photo below).  I'm not sure what the document entails or who Judge Edward Zeiss is, therefore, much research and translation are needed.

The photo above is this amazing antique wax seal cast in sterling silver.
