Peace Sign Jewelry

Sterling Silver Peace Sign Jewelry

 

The Peace Sign Pendant has been around since the 1960′s as far as jewelry is concerned. The actual Peace Sign Symbol has been around for a long time but not in use they way it has been for the last 50 or so years. That means that the peace sign charm is roughly 50 years old. In jewelry symbols with a theme this is fairly new.

So that makes the Peace Sign Charms young when comparing it to the jewelry symbols. Does the Peace Sign deserve to be mentioned in the same class as the other icons? My answer is yes because of the steady staying power the peace sign symbol has had in jewelry. Items like the Cross Pendant or the Celtic Trinity Knot necklace have been around and in use in jewelry for 100's to 1000's of years.

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 Jewelry charm sky rocketed to major popularity and never really feel out of popularity. The way people use sterling silver peace sign jewelry is different that in the 1950's and 1960's is quite different but the Peace sign jewelry is still popular.

The Peace Sign Necklaces were associated with hippies. Peace sign necklaces were worn as a badge of honor with the hippies and war protestors. During the 1960′s to the1970′s peace sign jewelry was mainly made out of beaded jewelry and leather necklaces. 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 rebelion 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.

 

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.
