peace symbol

"The lily flower is a symbol of peace, and wearing it can be interpreted as a sincerity to live a life of peace. This symbolic flower describes purity, modesty, and peace. I hope this jewellery set helps spread peace, as a reminder to the wearer and observer that the character of a lily flower needs to be applied by the community to achieve world peace."

Inspired by that symbolism and determined to spread a message of unity, Balinese artisan Arta Pradana handcrafts this marvelous sterling silver and cow bone jewellery set featuring a pendant necklace and dangle earrings.

"I convey peace with beautiful crystals that reflect the sunlight and illuminate our hearts and souls. Let's look for peace, which is what gives meaning to our lives.

"This suncatcher represents hope and the desire for a new and peaceful beginning on Earth, made of components associated with purity and spirituality.

"I say a prayer for peace," the Guatemalan artisan continues. "And I ask that we pray it together. 'No more wars. We want peace. May this peace dove reach all the homes of the world.'

"The principles of peace are love, justice and truth. Nothing is more valuable than peace, and it's the basic starting point for humanity to progress. Here I share sensations of peace with the beautiful crystals that reflect the sun's light to illuminate the heart and soul."

The artisan handcrafts this stunning suncatcher from crystal, glass and pewter beads, stainless steel ring and wire, nickel chains and a zinc dove pendant.

Used by ancient cultures as a symbol of triumph, peace and eternity, palm leaves are today a sign of elegance and luxury. Thinking about classic artworks featuring the leaves as mystic elements, Balinese artisan Made Mulyani hand-carves this suar wood relief panel featuring a palm branch in a gorgeous design, all in a natural wood grain for a traditional vibe.

Mother nature begins with the tree of life in this World Peace Project painting by India's Bharti Dayal. As Mother Nature sits cross-legged, resembling a heart, she extends her limbs upwards, branching out into a full-grown tree with pink leaves and lotus flower motifs.

The artist explains that the unification of the female form and the tree suggests that femininity is in its essence peaceful. Just as Hinduism advocates the continuous growth of oneself and the pursuit of inner peace, 'Feminine Tree' depicts the figurative source of peace as the self, independent of the surrounding world.

The artist uses natural vegetable colours to depict this symbolic scene of Mother Nature existing within an empty gray domain, sprouting with vibrant pink, directing one's attention to the peaceful heights reached in the feminine universe.

Dayal carefully arranges her composition to tell the story of the tree of life, employing the classic Madhubani painting style. "Madhubani paintings are in fact a simplistic manifestation of the philosophical heights achieved by Indian civilization for the universal power of love, longing and peace -- the quest of all beings," Dayal says.
