& while on the topic of wax seals, Buccella, a boutique vineyard located in Yountville, CA, complimented its hedonistically satisfying wines to a packaging style that is both romantically timeless & sincere.
The concept of “less is more” is truly evident with these labels, speaking closely in effect of a poem; clean on the surface & complex within.

Being as that the only alluring aspect of attraction that I hold with diamonds is in the mining, I much prefer raw jewelry, such as those never touched by a machine; preferably made of metal, copper, silver, stones & crystals.
Recently I discovered something of my liking, from Vancouver-based Pyrrha Design. Pyrrha designs jewelry from wax seals & permeates an unrefined cast into creations that are achieved by preserving the flaws in the waxes. This makes for pieces that break far away from mass-produced mainstream jewelry that is often times left for dead anyway.
Every design has a symbolic meaning taken from family heraldry. A little “Braveheart” & a whole lotta beautiful.
