love pendant

"Today this is a powerful symbol for peace," says Jorge Lopez of Gerald Holtom's design for the British Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament in the 1960s. The widely recognized symbol is expertly etched on a dark green jade pendant. It is worn on a black cotton cord.

Vibrant yellow seed beads lovingly embrace the neckline, as designed by Victoria Agyepomaa. Inspired by a mother's love, Ghanaian artisan strings multiple strands of recycled glass that give way to a horn pendant. The exquisite detail of this necklace will add a fun pop of color to any outfit.

Etched in jade, this Christian cross symbolizes Christ’s triumph over death. "This cross reminds us of our origins," says Guatemalan artisan Jorge Lopez. He crafts the necklace by hand, presenting the jade pendant on an adjustable black cotton cord.

Inspired by the etching of a well-dressed skeleton created by Mexican illustrator Jose Guadalupe Posada in 1913, Guatemalan artisan Estuardo Jimenez creates a necklace with a handmade sterling silver skull pendant. The original drawing, called La Calavera Catrina, had the skeleton wearing a large and ornate hat and was meant as a satire of Mexicans who wished to emulate upper-class Europeans. This Catrina has an engraved leaf and flower head covering rather than a hat and hangs from black cotton cord. Openwork gives the skull the appearance of facial features. The necklace can be made longer or shorter using the sliding knot on the cord.

The grace of the Guatemalan nights is captured in a sweet design that pays honor to the region's natural richness and arts. Pedro Apop creates this pendant necklace from ceramic using a detailed process that allows him to craft the round piece that dangles from the adjustable cotton cord. As a touch of uniqueness, the artisan also hand-paints the pendant with a floral design, whose palette of red, purple, green and black hues creates a lovely vibe. In addition, a sliding knot makes it possible to transform the accessory into a choker or a long necklace.
