This seal preserves the marigold in bloom, each petal etched like a small sun captured in brass. The marigold has always been a flower of ritual, woven into garlands, placed upon thresholds, and offered in remembrance. In the Victorian language of flowers, the marigold speaks of grief and sorrow, but also of sacred affection and devotion. It is a flower that turns its face toward the light, and even in mourning it points us toward renewal.

To seal with the marigold is to press into wax a gesture of devotion, creativity, and endurance. It is a seal for letters of remembrance, for notes of gratitude, or for celebrations of life’s bright passages. Marigold carries both the warmth of the sun and the tenderness of memory, reminding us that joy and sorrow are often twined together.
