COP 1" 14ky Pendant (Chain Sold Separately)

Origins and History of the Circle of Peace Design

Back in the late 1990’s Mark London had an inspiration for a new design That would reflect our willingness to live together in peace mutual respect and harmony with compassion for each other in an effort to develop understanding of other peoples’ principles,  spiritual practices,  religions and other unique personal human traits.

Mark thought long and hard about the elements of the design and wondered how to put them all together. The original inspiration was to put a collection of world religious symbols together in a sphere shaped pendant; however, that design Left some of the symbols invisible to the viewer.

After several years of contemplation Mark finally received the inspiration that became the new design. The composition would have 7 symbols of older and current world religions arranged in a circle that was domed to indicate the curvature of  the earth which contains us all, and they would be equally sized and balanced and connected by one continuous  element of the design that demonstrated the Principles espoused by the religions and practices represented by the Seven symbols and all the others represented by the triangular spaces in between:  The fundamental principles of love, compassion, acceptance and faith. In the summer of 2001 , Mark sat down and started drawing and then translated his idea onto his computer screen and laid out the design that he would have etched onto a copper plate and then Mark would subsequently cut the plate apart and dome up the individual elements of the plate into the shape that would define what he would call the circle of peace. Mark then polished and finished the details of the design and made a rubber mold of the pattern.

During this global pandemic it is affecting all of humanity at the same time what better time to use this symbol to demonstrate the better angels of our nature to come together to create a more peaceful harmonizing world it's filled with mutual respect love an appreciation for one another

Mark has decided to make his inspired pendant available to as many people as possible and offer them at half of the original price. Mark will use any available profits from the design to promote World Peace and respect for the planet that feeds and supports us all.
