Good Night And Joy Be Wi’ Ye Wax Seal
Stunning Victorian paste intaglio
Inscription: Good night and joy be wi’ ye
Why we love it
The sentiment inscribed on this understated seal is one to warm the cockles of even the coldest of hearts. A Scottish (and later Irish) blessing exchanged at the parting of a gathering of friends – a couthy goodbye to see you on your way.
Now a well-kent line in the song The Parting Glass, allegedly the most popular song of its kind in Scotland before Burns knocked it off the top spot with Auld Lang Syne. An inscription encapsulating the warmth, kindness and shared history of true friendship.
An ideal present for your BFF perhaps? Or wear as a reminder of those ride or die friends who always have your back.
