We cast our handmade "Friend-ship" rebus intaglio charm in solid sterling silver after an antique Georgian intaglio seal ring in my collection, patinaed in our special formula to bring out the details. A rebus is a visual puzzle or pun, where pictures are used to represent words; in this case the word "friend" is carved above a frigate in full sail to indicate the sentiment.

I think of this as the perfect piece to represent the type of bond that can, and likely has, weathered many types of storms, only to emerge stronger and more faithfully devoted.

Measuring approximately 9/16" north to south and 7/16" east to west. Approximate weight of 2.7 grams, not including chain.

Before the invention of the modern pre-glued envelope seals were used to set the wax that "sealed" a letter. The words are written backwards so that when pressed into the wax it leaves a mirrored readable message.
