Symbolic Jewelry: Peace
Peace Stackable Ring in Sterling Silver
Diamond and Black Diamond Peace Pendant
September 21st is the International Day of Peace, or World Peace Day. The holiday was created by the United Nations in 1981 as a day to celebrate the absence of war. To commemorate the event, a “Peace Bell” was cast from coins donated by children around the world and gifted to the U.N.’s New York headquarters by Japan to remind us of the lives lost to war. The bell is inscribed with its wish, “Long live absolute world peace”. I find it highly ironic that exactly 20 years and 10 days after the first bell was rung, 9/11 occurred in the same city, the ultimate act repudiating the meaning of the international holiday. Wearing peace jewelry on September 21 helps remind is of our goal for international peace. Jewelry styled as doves, the peace symbol, and the word “peace” are all wonderful ways to share our hopes and dreams of worldwide harmony and reconciliation.
