Wax Seals Through the Ages

The use of seals can be traced back to some of the earliest civilizations. The first seals were made from clay and impressed, or sealed, using rings or cylinders. Wax was widely used in the Middle Ages by bishops, monarchs and royal spokespeople to authenticate documents. During the 13th century, wax seals were used by monasteries, guilds and aristocrats. Illiteracy led to a widespread adoption of wax seals in the 13th century as a signature. Wax was pressed with either a handheld seal or a specially-made signet ring. When the owner of a signet died, the ring would be destroyed to prevent forgeries! Today using wax seals is more about ceremony than security or authenticity. Wax seals add elegance to wedding invitations, bottle decorations or an extra personalized touch to your correspondence. A nice wax seal will turn the ordinary into the extraordinary!
