Peace Long Bead Necklace features a large peace sign on a string of glass beads. This necklace is a handmade item, and is carefully crafted. The Peace Long Bead Necklace comes in a white or brown colour, so it will easily match to any clothing outfit. The white cream marble beads have lines of black in them. This neutral colour looks like the beach and reminds me of whitish sand.

What is a peace sign

The famous peace symbol was invented 65 years ago. These days you see it frequently again, because it has never been as necessary as it is today.

The creator of the sign was the British graphic artist Gerald Holtom (1914-1985). He invented the symbol on 21 February 1958 on behalf of the British Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), which is why it is also known as the CND symbol.

British peace activists planned a protest march from London to the nuclear weapons research centre in Aldermaston and wanted a symbol for it. On Good Friday 1958, the symbol was first seen in public on 500 round cardboard signs with handles (“lollipops”) on Trafalgar Square. The CND thus established the tradition of the Easter marches – and the symbol became a “pictographic superstar” (“Spiegel”).

Care tip for this product 

Be sure not to polish surf jewellery as it can damage the surface of the item. So you do not have to do anything! We also recommend always removing surf jewellery when swimming or showering to ensure no corrosion or breakage.

Peace Long Bead Necklace has been lovingly made in Indonesia. Made by cottage industry, rather than a factory business. It has been made by local people within villages. I love to support these guys as the money helps them to buy their basics.
