Lovie Dovie


In addition to the lovely new peace dove necklace and earrings by Precila G. we just got in some peace symbol necklaces from Nepal and sterling peace rings.












Did you know that the peace symbol comes from semaphore for the letters N (nuclear) and D (disarmament)? For better or for worse, some things never go out of style.


I have been learning to say peace in other languages. One of the most inspiring bracelets we have is a simple sterling cuff engraved with the words "shanti shanti shanti". This is less of a political mantra than a personal one and means "inner peace" in Sanskrit.

Can you name these languages?
