Your pendant also comes with your choice of initial and a block of wax, so you seal your letters with a personal touch.<\/p>\n<p>Tania Condon&#8217;s son Julian is the main inspiration for her pieces, including the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/item\/item.jsp?itemId=19704\">sterling silver wax seal necklace<\/a>, available custom-made for $95. After the birth of her son, Tania took up metalsmithing in order to make a bracelet for her newborn baby. She learned first at classes at a college in San Diego and then with the help of other masters in the trade. Using the design of a wax fob she saw in a British Museum, she came up with the idea of the pendant.<\/p>\n<div class=\"img-medium-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/\/2010\/friday-giveaway-wax-seal-necklace\/1coolmom-copy\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3186\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3186\" title=\"1coolmom-copy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/1coolmom-copy-300x303.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/1coolmom-copy-300x303.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/1coolmom-copy-125x125.jpg 125w, https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/1coolmom-copy.jpg 399w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/artist\/artist.jsp?artistId=18580\">Tania<\/a> says, &#8220;I love writing letters and sending them via snail mail and I seal them with a wax seal of the letter T.
