Crafted by hand of fine silver, a simple ring forms the pendant of this necklace, completed by a silver cat, a round shape, and an amethyst charm that dangle. Teaching young girls artisanal skills, Guatemala's Jalapa Girl Jewelsmiths presents this beautiful necklace. It adorns the wearer on brown leather cord, closing with a clasp of sterling silver. The artisan's fingerprint decorates the round charm.

By the Jalapa Girl Jewelsmiths of Guatemala, this pendant necklace makes the perfect gift for the loved ones in your life. A stone of natural rose quartz combines with a fine silver pendant that reads "Loved" on one one side and "Amado" on the other. The pendant centers a length of brown leather cord, which closes with a silver clasp accented with a charm. The artisan stamps her finger print on the charm.

Jalapa Girl Jewelsmiths is an organization dedicated to providing local girls with mentorship and artisanal skills during their formative years.

Members of the Jalapa Girl Jewelsmiths Association find a new take on a symbol originating in 1958. Crafted of silver, the pendant depicts the peace symbol so popular in the 1960s and '70s, and they add a heart, an olive branch and a creamy cultured pearl.

"We're inspired by what we're living today, and this made me think that we need to be united to create a better world and united to achieve peace," the Guatemalan artisan says. "This pendant represents the strength of union needed for us to achieve, together, the victory of peace. This image was designed for one of the first marches for Nuclear Disarmament in London, and later became widely used as a symbol for peace."

She displays the pendant on a brown leather cord.

Designer Ritu Thapar lets her soul rest and bond with the universe in meditation sessions that add peace to her artistic lifestyle. Inspired by those serene and spiritual sensations, she works with local Indian artisans to create this round ceramic necklace, whose hand-painted finish depicts a girl in a mystic meditation exercise. The piece also has a nylon cord that can be adjusted to your liking.
