Peace Sign Gold Amulet, 1"

Almost everyone alive would recognize this symbol, and most could not tell you it is younger than the ballpoint pen. The peace sign was drawn in 1958, and in the decades since it has become the plainest shorthand there is for an old human wish: less fighting, more calm. This gold-tone peace sign amulet, about an inch on an adjustable cord with a single colored bead, wears that wish openly.

Wear it as a small daily vote for peace, in the world and in yourself.

The Spiritual Significance

It is worth being honest about this symbol's age, because the honesty makes it more interesting, not less. The peace sign was designed in 1958 by the British artist Gerald Holtom for the campaign against nuclear weapons, combining the semaphore signals for the letters N and D, for nuclear disarmament, inside a circle. Through the 1960s it spread from that single movement into the universal emblem of peace it is today. It is not ancient, but few symbols have ever caught on so completely or so fast.

What it lacks in age it makes up in clarity. Worn as an amulet, the peace sign is a focus for exactly what it shows: peace, calm, and nonviolence, both the outward wish for a gentler world and the inward work of staying unreactive and centered. It pairs naturally with calming practice and with any intention to meet conflict, your own or other people's, with steadiness rather than heat. Sometimes the most useful symbol is the one that means precisely what it says.
