With a wooden handle, interchangeable double initial wax seal stamp, sealing wax, alcohol burner, and gold wax cream, it offers a refined and practical way to create elegant wax seal impressions at home.
The Bortoletti wedding wax seal set – wooden is a beautifully presented complete sealing kit created for couples, wedding stationery, and anyone who appreciates traditional wax sealing. Handmade in Italy, this elegant set combines practical tools with classic presentation, making it ideal for invitations, envelopes, keepsakes, certificates, and special occasion correspondence.
This luxury Bortoletti set includes a wooden wax seal handle, an interchangeable 22 mm double initial wax seal stamp, four sealing wax sticks, an alcohol burner for clean melting, gold wax cream for decorative highlighting, a presentation gift box, and a certificate of guarantee. It is a thoughtful all-in-one option for anyone looking to create professional-looking wax seals with a traditional finish.
This wedding seal set is designed especially for double initials, making it a popular choice for couples, bespoke wedding invitations, monograms, and commemorative gifts. The interchangeable stamp can be personalised with your selected initials, creating a more meaningful and individual finish for envelopes, place cards, gift wrapping, and keepsake stationery.
The included alcohol burner provides a clean, soot-free flame to help preserve the true colour of your sealing wax and reduce blackening during melting. For best performance, 90% pure alcohol is recommended to achieve a stable and more odourless flame. This is especially useful when working with lighter wax shades, where a cleaner burn helps maintain a crisp and attractive finish.
The four included sealing wax sticks can produce more than 70 wax seals, depending on the depth and size of each impression. Good sealing wax should melt smoothly, pour evenly, and stay workable long enough for a detailed result. For best definition, allow around 20 seconds after stamping before lifting the seal from the wax.
As well as applying wax directly to envelopes and documents, the wax can also be melted using a spoon or strainer held over the alcohol burner. If you wish to create pre-made wax seals, simply pour the wax onto a silicone mat, stamp the impression, allow it to cool fully, and attach it later with double-sided adhesive. This method is especially useful for preparing wedding stationery in batches.
For an even more decorative finish, the raised details of your wax seal can be highlighted using Bortoletti wax cream, available in pots of gold or silver. This is a simple way to bring out initials, symbols, and engraved details, adding extra contrast and a more luxurious finish to your completed seal.
The interchangeable wax seal stamp measures 22 mm in diameter, making it compatible with Bortoletti wax seal handles and ideal for classic monogram impressions. The set is boxed for presentation, storage, and gifting, helping keep the accessories neatly together between uses.

Hi Trina,
Thank you for asking. Bortoletti recommends using 90% pure alcohol or denatured alcohol (Methylated spirits) for a stable, odourless flame that does not burn or discolour the wax.
The two best, least expensive fuels for the alcohol lamps are denatured ethanol (ethyl alcohol; grain alcohol), and methanol (methyl alcohol; wood alcohol; methylated spirit); both can be cheaply obtained at hardware stores or home-improvement centers.
What is the alternative to denatured alcohol for alcohol lamp?
Try using >99% isopropyl alcohol. It's the closest in structure and physical properties. Denatured alcohol is mostly ethanol with methanol mixed in so it can be sold for non-food use.
Please note that Calligraphy Arts does not sell this as it requires specialist posting, but it is freely available at many hardware and cosmetic accessory stores.
I hope that helps,
Jane
Hello Irene,
Thanks for asking. To seal a lid on a jar, you need to heat the end of the sealing wax with something like a kitchen lighter and carefully drip the melted wax over the area you want to seal. Then, while the wax is still warm, you can press your stamp.
Here is a video showing one method I found on YouTube:
