I Write Truth Intaglio
A beautiful creamy striated agate intaglio with beautifully detailed imagery of a hand holding a quill poised to write with over arching motto ‘Truth’
Dating to the Georgian era this intaglio is hand carved in antiquity and unique
Why we love it
Traditional letter writing and ‘snail mail’ is enjoying a resurgence in popularity and we are here for it this intaglio would make a most excellent talisman for the writing creative whether that be letters to loved ones, journaling for personal growth or finally writing that novel you’ve been procrastinating for the last decade
Beyond that, Emma loves the unashamed commitment and affirmation to the truth a much underrated quality in the modern world perhaps, this would make an excellent jewellery reminder of your commitment to living in your truth, regardless of the noise
To cap it all the stone itself is a delightfully mottled agates with the lower left quarter having a decidedly cloud like quality, which fits so well with the hobby of writing and actually having a though process. The carving itself is exceptional and intricate the hand and quill both so delicate and elegant
It’s an absolute corker and would work perfectly as either a classic pendant or a three arm ring
