Modern Uses of Wax Seals

Once reserved for weddings and formal events, wax seals have found a resurgence in modern times. Today, they add a personal, creative touch to letters, gifts and cards. In a world where everything is fast paced and impersonal, the use of wax seals can elevate your message above the digital noise of our fast-paced world.

Embracing Wax Seal Symbolism

Wax seals have a rich history of symbolism, dating back to the Georgian and Victorian era. Today, these symbols continue to hold a special significance and can add a deeper meaning and intention to your correspondence.

Handcrafted Heirlooms

Pressed by hand from original antiques from the 1300s-1800s, each piece brings a history worth celebrating.

Sealed with Intention

Each of my collections carries a specific intention and hidden meaning through the symbolism of motif and color.

Craft as Fine Art

I constantly play with many techniques from "craft" when creating my art. My goal is to share beauty with the world, and elevate the status of female artists.

Luxury Stationery

To me, letter writing is one of the most luxurious experiences on earth. In my shop, I feature the finest stationery from around the world to add to this luxurious experience.
