Lindsay, who is really into heraldry, reports this: "A heraldic crest featuring an arm in armour, embowed, symbolizes strength, militant readiness, and the protection of family or honor. In traditional blazonry, "embowed" means the arm is bent at the elbow." This tiger-striped jasper wax seal has gorgeous patterning and a gold loop at the top. Wear it when you're facing a daunting task or foe.
