such is life wax seal charm

A meaningful double sided pendant cast from an original Victorian wax seal and set in 10k yellow gold.

On one side we have a sailboat on a wild sea, with the Italian phrase, "e cosi la mia vita" - or "such is life."
On the other side, there is a butterfly next to a flower, with the Italian "attendo," or "I am waiting."

On one side, A vivid, allegorical image for the ups and downs that we all must weather in life - a ship on a stormy sea. We should all be so lucky to have more days of calm seas than stormy ones, in the end. A celebration of perseverance despite hardship. The other side shows a butterfly approaching a beautiful flower. A visual representation of how we all feel when we must wait for a dear friend, a lover, a child to return to us. A moving seal for anyone who has experienced longing for a loved one.
