Greyhound Jewelry Wax Seal Silver Ring - this wax seal depicts a French coat of arms with a seated majestic Greyhound atop a shield that depicts a Greyhound in full stride. The Greyhound is said to denote majesty, courage, vigilance, swiftness and loyalty, and they were emblematic of nobility. The shield has three trefoils pictured on it which represent infinity and eternity, forever and always. I created the ring band to include vintage lines of prose from an old letter running across it, a perfect compliment to the seal that adds charm and character. You may also select a PLAIN BAND at checkout.
The wax seal atop this ring looks rustic and old with cracks and charm, reminiscent of an old wax seal that would have been used long ago. It's hand cast using the original antique French Wax Seal from the early 1800's. The ending result is a beautiful original piece of jewelry with meaning and history.
►WAX SEAL - the Greyhound Coat of Arms wax seal is approximately 3/4" across
►RING SIZE - ring is made of solid Sterling Silver and is available in whole and half sizes.
►BAND WIDTH - the band is approximately 1/4" wide (4mm) and is very comfortable, not too wide, not too skinny.....just perfect!

We have a great blog post that walks you through How to Select the Perfect Necklace Chain
Keep in mind that most jewelry is delicate to some degree. Unfortunately, no matter what you do to protect it, metal will dull and tarnish over time. Contact with lotion, perfume, and daily perspiration will eventually take its toll on jewelry. Moisture and humidly make this happen even faster.
We have also found that if you live close to the ocean or in an area that is more humid, your jewelry may need extra care to keep it looking shiny and new. And, as convenient as it may be to store your jewelry in the bathroom, this too is a bad idea. Store your jewelry in airtight containers or a resealable plastic bag when not in use, this will protect your piece from humidity and prevent tarnishing and scratches when not in use.
A clever little trick is to place a piece of chalk or a silica packet, (you know the kind that comes with a new pair of shoes or purse?) in your jewelry box to collect humidity and delay tarnish. For all of these situations you'll find that a quick wipe with a polishing cloth will return it's luster and remove any tarnish.
You love your jewelry, we get it, but we always recommend removing it before working out or doing household chores that cause perspiration, this will quickly dull your jewelry and you'll find the back of your pendant will look as though it's collected a layer of grime.
The most frequent question we receive is how to remove this build up. We sell little polishing pads that are cellular foam with permanently bonded micro-abrasives that will quickly remove the build up.
