Dream Peace Purple Amethyst Gold Necklace
from World Peace Jewelry

What we know as a traditional symbol for peace was originally designed for the British nuclear disarmament movement. Designed in 1958 by Gerald Holtom, a professional designer and artist, the symbol was later adopted by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. By the late 1960's the peace sign had become an international peace symbol adopted by war protestors. Then adopted by the counterculture, it became part of the popular culture. The symbol itself is a combination of the semaphoric signals for the letters "N" and "D," standing for Nuclear Disarmament. Superimposing these two signs forms the shape of the peace symbol.

World Peace Jewelry creates one of a kind, handmade spiritual necklaces, bracelets and earrings in the theme of peace: traditional peace signs, Chinese peace symbols, peace charms; some vintage, some contemporary. Often combined with other peaceful symbols or totems and metaphysically sympathetic gemstones with silver, gold, brass and copper. Learn more about gemstones and totem symbols in our guides.

At World Peace Jewelry you'll find unique inspirational jewelry gifts for men and women in themes of peace, love, spiritual belief, religious faith, fertility and healing copper.

It's Time To ... Retreat to Italy with Danielle!

Umbria Retreat with Danielle Diamond
Retreat in Umbria April 28-May 2 2010
Make this spring unforgettable and join us for a yoga retreat in Italy. We couldn’t be more excited about our location, Locanda del Gallo, a 12th Century restored stone home. The Locanda lies amidst the magnificent hills of Umbria's unspoiled Italian countryside. A stunning veranda wraps itself around the house and a spiritual calm emanates from the home and grounds, making this the ideal place to retreat, get inspired and revitalize your spirit. Bask in the spectacular sunsets of the Tiberina Valley and enjoy delicious healthy organic food – an intriguing mix of Italian and Asian cuisine, rich in genuine flavors and vegetables straight from the gardens.

Each day includes dynamic yoga and meditation classes, overlooking the Umbrian hills. Ali and Danielle will deepen your understanding of yoga through asana, pranayama, meditation, and philosophy incorporated in each class. Balancing the body, mind, and spirit is the theme of the retreat; Ali and Danielle will touch upon aspects of balance both on and off the mat. We’re fortunate enough to be on retreat during a full moon, and we will celebrate with an outdoor fire ceremony.

Organic Baby & Toddler Clothing

2009-09-05T11:27:00.004-05:00

Your baby or toddler will love wearing shirts, onesies, PJs, socks, shorts and everything else in their precious world made from organic fabrics from The Organic Everything Shop.

Dressing your child in toxin free clothing is the absolute safest way for you to clothe your baby. Their smaller body weight makes them more vulnerable than adults to the harmful toxins used in traditional clothing manufacturing.

There's no reason to take a chance with the health of your children. Many companies are now making clothing from clean and green fabrics. Though toddlers & babies are resilient, their bodies and brains & immune systems are very fragile and can easily be damaged in many subtle but important ways by harmful chemicals. All infants & young children should be protected from toxins in their environments as much as possible in this rather toxic world. There is no point in getting overly concerned about it; we just have to try our best. All we can really do is reduce our children's exposure to toxins whenever we can and eliminate toxins from everything that we can.

The Organic Everything Shop carries organic clothing (from infant to adult), green cleaning products, gardening products, and much, much more. Visit them on the web today.
