This unique intaglio pendant showcases a butterfly in flight beneath a sun, with beams of light illuminating the words "You Give Me Life." Originally a Georgian-era wax seal from the early 1800s, this exquisite piece would have served as a heartfelt token, symbolising transformation, renewal, and the life-affirming power of light and warmth.
The butterfly represents rebirth and the soul’s journey, while the sun symbolises vitality and enlightenment. Together with the phrase "You give me life," this intaglio conveys a profound message of gratitude and recognition of a life-changing influence—whether it be love, guidance, or inspiration.
This thoughtfully repurposed pendant is not only a meaningful accessory but also a versatile addition to your collection. The large oval pendant bail allows for easy alternation between your favourite chains and necklaces, offering endless styling possibilities. Vibrant yellow sapphires are set into each of the square-edge claws, further enhancing the beauty of this historical piece.
The pendant will be submitted for hallmarking before shipping and will bear full traditional UK hallmarks from the London Assay Office. It will be ready to ship within two weeks from the order date once the hallmarking is complete.
