Peace Necklace
Whether you’re from the fifties and sixties who lived through the beginnings of the peace movement or of the Gen X or Generation Y era, the peace symbol will never fade. The peace symbol strikes each person differently depending on that individual’s experience. To some it means nuclear disarmament which was the original intent of the designer. Others have morphed the peace symbol to peace and love, while many saw the peace symbol as a representation of their feelings of war.
The peace symbol developed by Gerald Holtom, a graduate of the Royal College of Arts of London and a professional designer and artist, never had the peace sign copyrighted. This deliberate act allowed the peace symbol to encompass the entire world with the current global acceptance as one of the largest representation of peace. For the past 50 years one could see the peace symbols on Volkswagens, soldiers, flags, graffiti, rings, necklaces, clothes, buttons, bumper stickers, tattoos, house wares, and the list goes on. Since the peace sign was not copyrighted, it allowed the peace sign to be modified with designs, colors, shapes, and words. Anyone and everyone can freely express their opinion of peace through the simple things such as a peace necklace, bracelet, earrings and be a part of the peace movement. The peace sign has taken on its own life. It is a universal symbol that reflects people's basic preference for peace. Who knew that Gerald Holtom could impact the world with such a simple design?
