"Since time immemorial, the seal has served as as tamp of indisputable authenticity; just as a signature is accepted in the world today.

Royalty and governments used their own seal to affix to proclamations to give them their authoritative stamp of approval. The first Great Seal of England was that of Edward the Confessor, impressions of which can still be found. During this time, almost everyone had their own seal, and while most people had just one, Royalty would own several, including their own "Great" Seal as well as seals for all their courts and officials. It was common practise to destroy the seal when the owner died, which is the reason so few original seals are still in existance today.

In Medieval Times, betrothals were prearranged - therefore true words of love were secretly written and the envelope's contents secured by a wax seal, so that the recipient culd be assured that their passion would be unknown to others.

By using your own seal with quality sealing wax, you will uphold this time-honoured tradition, even in today's hi-tech world. From a teenager to a Head-of-State, a personal seal lends dignity, prestige and a personal flair to letters, notes, cards and even gift packaging."
