Your Life is a Poem

Love the earth and sun and animals,
Despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks,
Stand up for the stupid and crazy,
Devote your income and labor to others
And your very flesh shall be a great poem.

Walt Whitman

Loving One Another

"Sometime in your life, hope that you might see one starved man, the look on his face when the bread finally arrives. Hope that you might have baked it or bought or even kneaded it yourself. For that look on his face, for your meeting his eyes across a piece of bread, you might be willing to lose a lot, or suffer a lot, or die a little, even."
Daniel Berrigan

Peace Jewelry Our Crayola Bomb Necklace in Gold



Here's the latest handcrafted Crayola bomb peace necklace in our series. An explosion of color. A wild and joyful combination of crystal and glass beads in rainbow hues. Each bead is hand wire wrapped with gold jeweler's wire. The pendant is a gold traditional peace sign symbol. Lovely delicate gold chain. A dramatically different piece of peace jewelry that is sure to inspire compliments and spark conversation.

Here's the quotation that inspired this World Peace Jewelry series of peace jewelry:

Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A beauty bomb. And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one. It would explode high in the air, explode softly, and send thousands, millions, of little parachutes into the air. Floating down to earth - boxes of Crayolas. And we wouldn't go cheap, either, not little boxes of eight. Boxes of sixty four, with the sharpener built right in. With silver and gold and copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest. And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination.

True Joy in Life

"This is the true joy in life: being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one: being thoroughly worn out fefore you are thrown on the scrap heap; being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy."
George Bernard Shaw

Inner Peace Guardian Angel Jewelry


At World Peace Jewelry we most often use angels as a symbol of devotion, spirituality and faith. They can represent the protection of our guardian angels, as well as remind us of our connection to the divine. In addition, an angel can represent peace, both inner peace and world peace.

The inspiration for the handcrafted We Shall See Angels necklace shown above is this quote from Anton Chekov:
We shall find peace. We shall hear angels. We shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds.

Beautiful aquamarine sparkling crystals are hand wire wrapped with natural patina brass for a very vintage look. Multiple pendants include: crystal teardrop, antiqued brass peace symbol, and a handmade ceramic three dimensional angel. All dangle from a lovely brass floral connector. Absolutely gorgeous and a fabulous angellic talisman of peace.

Love is not a Luxury

"There are people who will try to tell you that love is a luxury and that life in all its miraculous beauty is less urgent right now than the need to retaliate against the forces of evil.

I am here to tell you that unless we respond with love, we will certainly hand evil its great and final victory.

Go out, right now, and plant yourself in the middle of that which you love most - the thing within you that is most alive. Now listen carefully, because as that love cracks your heart open, it will tell you exactly what this broken world needs from you. This is your holy work, and it cannot wait.

Make it big this time. Make it so."

Don't Kill Any Children for Me

"How many deaths of other people's children by bombing or starvation are we willing to accept in order that we may be free, affluent, and (supposedly) at peace?

To that question I answer: None.
Please, no children. Don't kill any children for my benefit."
Wendell Berry

Symbolism of Birds


As you can imagine, we often use the white dove symbol in our jewelry, but other birds are wonderful symbols for jewelry as well. Birds are believed to mediate between earth and heaven, the physical and spiritual worlds. A bird in flight symbolizes freedom and the spiritual development of the soul.

Blue Jays represent fearless protectors. They symbolize determination, assertiveness, intelligence, clarity and vision.

Crows have long believed to be an omen of transformation, American Indians believe the crow is the keeper of the sacred law and protects the sacred writings of the Great Spirit. The Osage Indians believed that crows bring good news. Crows represent protections, a spirit guide and symbol of light.

The Dove, especially white doves, symbolize peace.

Swallow (also bluebirds and sparrows) symbols of love and loyalty, good fortune and returning home safely


Shown above is our Love and Freedom Swallow Bracelet. Sweetly romantic and very vintage swooping swallow bird bracelet is handcrafted and full of symbolism. I've hand wire wrapped wonderful faceted soft sage green Aventurine with vintage brass in warm natural patina. Lovely vintage brass repousse flying bird dangles a chubby coordinating heart. A wonderful talisman of love, good fortune and freedom

Symbolism of the Butterfly


The butterfly is a powerful symbol for transformation. Often used to represent change, hope and joy. The Chinese believed a jade butterfly suggested a wedding of souls, making it an appropriate gift for the groom to give to his bride. Butterflies symbolize transformation and metamorphosis and are a favorite symbol theme at World Peace Jewelry..
Shown above is our Butterfly Dreams Necklace featuring an exquisite vintage hand painted porcelain butterfly pendant. Absolutely gorgeous. The details are exquisite. I've hand wire wrapped wonderful natural blood red Carnelian with gold jewelers wire to form the chain. To accent the butterfly pendant, I've clustered a generous mix of gems that pick up the rich colors of the butterfly, including peridot, carnelian, citrine, blue lace agate.
The quotation that inspired this beautiful butterfly jewelry piece is from Chuang Tzu: I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.

Crayola Bomb Peace Jewelry


Quite some time ago I read a quotation about peace that so captured my imagination that I designed a line of my jewelry around it. My Crayola bomb peace jewelry rarely stays in stock for long. I think it's because so many others share my delight in the intention behind it. My Crayola bomb peace necklaces, bracelets, and (soon) earrings all incorporate a wild and playful combination of colored beads including crystals, Czech glass, vintage India glass, and often gemstones that symbolize peace. Necklace pendants, bracelet and earring charms are all traditional peace sign symbols in gold, silver, copper or brass.

Here's the Robert Fulghum quotation that inspired this series of bracelets and necklaces:

Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A beauty bomb. And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one. It would explode high in the air - explode softly - and send thousands, millions, of little parachutes into the air. Floating down to earth - boxes of Crayolas. And we wouldn't go cheap, either - not little boxes of eight. Boxes of sixty-four, with the sharpener built right in. With silver and gold and copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest. And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination.
