These are traditional hard sealing waxes, handmade in Gutenberg, Germany, using methods that predate modern correspondence. They carry the qualities that have long defined hard wax, a distinctive sheen, a subtle fragrance, and a firmness that holds its impression beautifully.

Hard wax behaves differently from modern sealing wax. It is more brittle, more textured, and less forgiving. Those qualities are not flaws. They are part of its character. The surface is slightly less smooth in its details, which lends an antique feeling to the finished seal, even when the colors themselves feel fresh and contemporary.

This collection includes eleven carefully chosen colors, offered together as a complete palette. I wanted these waxes to be experienced as a whole, not selected piecemeal. Owning the full range allows for intuitive choice, subtle variation, and a deeper relationship with the material.

Because traditional hard wax is more delicate, it is best suited for wrapped gifts and hand delivered cards.

The 11 colors are closest to but not exactly matching Zephyr, Collier, Edgewood, Diana, Pandora, Coral, Mercury, Limoncello, Leda, Jaipur, Kacey.
