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.

L'AMITIÉ NOUS UNIT-FRIENDSHIP UNITES US-STERLING SILVER PENDANTS


Keep a weather eye on Metal Corset II for fine silver pendants hand cast from an antique French wax seal seen in photo above.

The seal depicts a flying winged angel, or cherub, holding a wreath above two doves and an unbroken plinth or column topped with four hearts. Symbolism for the wreath (redemption), doves (togetherness or love), unbroken plinth or column (eternity), flying angel (rebirth), hearts (togetherness).  Many thanks to Art of Mourning for symbolism.  http://artofmourning.com/

The French motto above reads, "L'amitié Nous Unit" translated to "Friendship unites us."

Perfect for friendship or marriage.
