Sterling Silver Peace Sign Jewelry

There are few icons so well known as the Peace Sign used in jewelry. There are some like Crosses, Celtic symbols, some Irish symbols like the four leaf clover and the Heart symbol. These icons have withstood thetest of time.

An interesting note. Every icon I just mentioned in the paragraph above with the exception of the Peace Sign has been around for Centuries. The Peace Sign Pendant has been around since the 1960's as far as jewelry is concerned. That means that the peace sign symbol is roughly 50 years old.

So that makes the Peace Sign Charms young when comparing it to the jewelry symbols mentioned above. Does the Peace Sign deserve to be mentioned in the same class as the other icons? My answer is yes because of the staying power the peace sign symbol has had in jewelry.

The Peace Sign Necklace started with the Hippies in the 1960's showing up around their necks while participating in peace rallies and sit ins through out the country during the war protests against the Vietnam war.

The Peace Sign Necklaces were associated with hippies and rebellion. Peace sign necklaces were worn as a badge of honor with the hippies and war protestors. The Peace sign necklace was also worn but others as a symbol of rebellion.

During the 1960's and the 1970's peace sign jewelry was mainly made out of beaded jewelry and leather necklaces or even string or rope. The peace sign pendant sometimes would be a cut out in metal, cardboard or whatever could be found. The peace sign pendant would be decorated with bright colors. The peace sign charms even came to be associated with the drug movement of the same time period.

Then during the intervening years the Peace sign became a mainstream symbol of peace without the rebeliion or drug association. Peace Sign Jewelry started coming out in sterling silver and gold. This appealed to many people which keep the peace sign icon in fashion and in use with peace sign jewelry. Not only is sterling silver peace sign jewelry popular with the use of peace sign pendants and peace sign necklaces but the peace sign makes for a terrific pair of Peace Sign Earrings. 

As the peace sign maintains its solid status in sterling silver jewelry, artisans have done more with the peace sign artistically by adding other elements to it.

Peace sign jewelry has been for decades and continues to be very popular in the mainstream. The sterling silver peace sign necklace or peace sign earrings can be worn for any occasion ranging from a morning walk to an even formal. Sterling silver is a brilliant looking precious metal and the silver color goes with everything and even though the color is neutral, silver is the most reflective of any other precious metal including gold.
