The peace symbol was created by artist Gerald Holtom in 1958, when he drew a circle containing merged lines that were his interpretation of the positions used to transmit the letters "N" and "D" with flags, as was done to communicate from ship to ship. The "N" in his circle stood for nuclear and "D" represented disarmament. The symbol spread around the globe and became a plea for peace. You'll find the peace sign in all sorts of jewelry, but pendants of the symbol have always been a favorite.
1. Mariana's CZ Peace Sign Necklace
The peace symbol in this necklace is set with cubic zirconias set in rhodium electroplated sterling silver. The symbol is about .69 inches across and can be attached to a chain length of your choice: 16", 18", 20" or 24".
2. Diamond Peace Sign Pendant in 14K White Gold
If you'd rather have diamonds, you'll find a total of .25 carats set in this 5/8" wide peace symbol. It's made from 14K white gold, but yellow gold is available. The peace symbol is suspended on a 16" chain that's held in place with a spring ring clasp.
3. Diamond Accent Peace Sign Pendant in 10K Two-Tone Gold
Here's a peace symbol pendant fashioned from a combination of white and yellow 10K gold. The pendant has twelve round diamonds and comes attached to an 18" rope chain that closes with a spring ring clasp. This diamond peace sign necklace is priced under $100.
4. Helen Ficalora Peace Sign Charm
I like the less rigid appearance of this 1/2" wide peace sign charm. It's made from sterling silver and can be suspended from a chain (not included) around your neck, or used on a charm bracelet or charm necklace.
5. Create Peace Charm Necklace
The Create Peace necklace features two 1/3" sterling silver charms on an 18" sterling chain. The fluid, somewhat haphazard and asymmetrical look of the charms is appealing.
6. Diamond Peace Sign Dog Tag Pendant
A textured 14K yellow gold dog tag forms the backdrop for this diamond studded peace sign. The symbol contains .10 carats (total weight) of diamonds, and hangs 1-1/8". Its single bale fits chains up to 1mm (not included).
7. Jennifer Zeuner Sterling Silver Peace Charm Bracelet
I'm throwing in this pretty sterling silver peace sign bracelet for those of you who'd rather wear the symbol around your wrist. Its sterling peace symbol is centered on a rope chain that's secured to the wrist with a lobster claw clasp.
