Feeling the BURN 🔥
Burn out, I am slowly realising, is a very real thing. I’m one step away from openly crying on social media, and I don’t even know why I feel like this. Nothing bad has happened, in fact it’s been great. I’m proud of what I’ve achieved this year. Seeing my Vote necklaces and brooches worn by so many of you in the lead up to the election and by women who have now been sworn into government has felt truly amazing.
Birthday thoughts on Cronehood
Owning the CRONE!
It’s hard to keep telling yourself that you are ‘aging beautifully’ or rightfully, or that there is any value at all in aging, when as a culture, we really don’t put much value on wisdom or lived experience.

On letting go
Before my senior year of university, I spent a summer back home in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, flipping burgers in a kitchen by day and waitressing at Applebees (think TJI Fridays) by night. One evening towards the end of the summer I went over to introduce myself to a couple who just been sat in my section.

On Keeping Going
I hate selling.
There I’ve said it. I spend a lot of time wondering how I got into the business of selling when it’s not something I’ve ever been good at. I had a summer job in London when I was 19 – cold-calling offices to sell them double-sided typewriter ribbons (yes I’m that old). I think I lasted three days.
It’s a hard time for selling right now. A lot of us aren’t quite sure how we are going to pay our bills this winter. I usually trust my gut to read the room when I’m coming up with new designs or trying to do a bit of ‘marketing’ (another term that gives me the cold shakes), but I haven’t bought myself anything very treaty or nice in ages. So it’s not easy trying to figure out what to say. I don’t want to use payment plans like Klarna because I don’t want you to buy my designs unless you can afford them and they will brighten up your life, or if you’re buying a gift - a friend’s life in some way.
On Being Brave, thoughts on life and mortality
I originally designed this bracelet for a beautiful young woman – using her mother's words from near the end of her life. Her father read from the notebook she had kept at her funeral. She’d been in pain and on a lot of drugs, so they were disparate thoughts, lists and memories, but interspersed throughout: the phrase 'be brave,' again and again, like a mantra to herself, and finally right near the end, 'be brave, it's supposed to be hard.' ...

Let customers speak for us
I have a few pieces from Sarah now, and I love all the messaging in her jewellery. These earrings are like a luminescent bubblegum, with a subversive feminist twist. I love them!
Absolutely LOVE this necklace and won't ever take it off. It is such good quality and looks all sparkly and lovely. Its also a great reminder to tell people that you are WOKE AF!!
Just big enough to be eye catching especially blue colour and just small and light enough for everyday. Butterfly back helps them stay secure.
Really pleased with my ‘witch’ necklace. The chain is nice, the wording sturdy and looks great in green.
Plenty of wear planned.
Absolutely love my purchase. Have worn it daily since it arrived :)
Super fast service, parcel arrived so quick. Boxed and packaged well and love the personal touch. Excellent quality and will recommend to all who will listen to me. Will continue to be a customer.
Thanks Teresa
I bought this necklace as a "leaving for university" (I get a lump in my throat just typing that) gift for my brilliantly academic granddaughter. It was perfect, she was absolutely delighted with it, loves its originality, and it's utterly perfect because she describes herself as a girly swot!
Communications, packaging and customer service was excellent - not my 1st purchase from Wear and Resist and definitely won't be my last. I love EVERYTHING about this shop💙 Thank you!
This is my second set of XL lightning bolt earrings because I wear them all the time and I needed more colours 😂. I love them and wear them all the time. Be prepared to be asked “where did you get those amazing earrings?!”
One is stocking filler for my adult daughter. The other for me as it’s what my ex used to describe me as. It has since turned out that he was the tricksy person. 🤣
Seriously though, very good quality bigger than I expected which was a good surprise and I’m very happy. Would definitely order from here again. Good ethos too x
I was so delighted with this necklace and the packaging too! I have often browsed the site and felt to unsure of what I wanted, so I went to Sarah and asked if she could make a personalised one. The scroll necklace was born! ❤️ The pictures don’t do it justice, I wear it and get lots of compliments. The chain is comfortable with the cute lightning bolt at the end. It’s SO beautiful I am already eyeing up who to send one to next and what to put on it! Delivery was fast, lovely packaging - a real treat! LOVE it! 🥰
I treated myself to this fun and beautiful necklace as a reward for completing my masters dissertation. Apt wording, easy to order and arrived in such good time that I hadn’t fully finished it! So a helpful motivator in those last days of study. Thank you!
It says exactly how I feel on the brooch, so I had to have one! I love my brooch is wonderfully crafted and so original. I will certainly be buying from Wear and Resist again. Helping women's charities every time I buy - I love that!
Love my new ‘chopsy’ necklace! I live in the US and it was a great conversation starter!
These earrings are like putting on your ‘Big Girl Pants’. They make me feel confident & sassy. Lightweight, easy to wear and with the most beautiful detail. I love them so much that I have them in 4 colour ways.
All this and from a company that is truly ethical, supporting women in many ways.
Bought as a gift for a friend and it was packaged nicely, looked amazing and they were thrilled with it!
Would definitely shop here again and have my eye on some of the fab earrings. Great service all round and a well made product.
Fantastic pair of earrings. Very lightweight and the colours are bright and beautiful. I love Sarah's work and was very pleased with these earrings.
