Silver darkens. Bronze darkens faster, and against skin it can leave a mark.
The seal is a clear coating applied by hand at the bench, after the piece is poured, oxidized, and relieved. It goes on thin, sits in the low places without clouding them, and locks the finish exactly where it was the day it left Vermont. The oxidation stays where it was put. The high points stay bright.
It goes on the back face and the edges — the surfaces that meet skin and shirt — so the front of the piece is untouched.
Applied to every pendant in your order before it ships. Nothing for you to do.
Add to any order.
Covers impact damage, a bent bail, and deep gouges from daily wear. If it happens, we repair or replace the piece.

That was the offer, and for about forty years it was real. Walk off a merchant ship where you were beaten for the pace of your work and paid whatever the owner decided, sign a paper, and take an equal share. Vote on where the ship sails. Vote on who captains it, and vote him out if he stops earning it.
The articles were written down and every man signed. What you get if you lose a leg. What you get if you lose an eye. Nobody above you deciding it later.
The flag went up so the other ship could count and surrender, and most did. That was the arrangement — no quarter, announced up front, so the choice was theirs.
Then the crew was ashore with a full purse and no master, and every man there had picked this over a wage.
Skull over crossed bones, poured solid in a single piece. The eyes dark, the bones rough where they cross.
No master. Equal share. He signed for it.
