Flight of Peace

A dove bearing an olive branch comes to life in polished silver. Crafted in Guatemala by the Jalapa Girl Jewelsmiths Association, it carries a cogent message. 'This necklace is a signal of hope and victory,' the artisans say. 'It carries smiles for a new beginning, touches hearts for one single mission, unites them for a better word.

'Were were inspired to use this image because, when we see this bird in flight, it transmits sensations of tranquility. We always wonder what places it will reach.

'The dove appears in the Bible in the book of Genesis and represents peace and reconciliation after the great flood. This dove carries an olive branch, an ancient symbol. It's a symbol of abundance, and victory over evil spirits. In olden times, the olive branch was exchanged after a battle as an offering of peace.'
