Sterling Silver Pendants

Engraved with Artwork, Symbols, Quoatations, & more

In the 16th and 17th centuries in England, France and throughout Europe, a wedding band would be inscribed with words of love, faith and hope. The popularity of these "poesy" rings (from the latin word for "Poetry") is attested to by their frequent mention in Shakespeare's plays. The tradition is much older than Shakespeare's time, but its was during the Renaissance that the custom reached the height of its popularity. It was common to give a sterling silver ring as a gift or engagement ring.

Now we offer these messages engraved on sterling silver pendants as a unique romantic gift or token of friendship.
