A collection designed in collaboration with Mary Beard to celebrate her book, Women & Power
Power – one word to denote physical strength, force, the capacity to rule and influence others, electrical energy and the ability to shock
Women & Power
In 2018 I was asked to create a Power necklace to celebrate Mary Beard's best-selling and important book Women & Power. Power is now also available as a brooch and statement earrings.
Mary Beard’s manifesto Women & Power (published by Profile Books) considers the public voice of women and asks: if women aren't perceived to be within the structures of power, isn't it power that we need to redefine?
To purchase the book:
Hardback: Hive, Waterstones and Amazon
Paperback: Hive, Waterstones and Amazon.

Let customers speak for us
I wanted some blue jewellery for a special occasion and whilst I could have popped into town and got something from one of the high street retailers, I really wanted what I wore to hold meaning for me. I adore Wear and Resist, and Sarah's ethos and values in the brand. These lightning bolt earrings are beautiful - I wore them with the matching pendant - and I felt empowered and calm wearing them.
I adore this! Is really comfortable to wear and looks great. It really is glow in the dark and I am dead pleased to have got it as part of a wider centenary action campaign. It’s a little reminder to keep going and remember that there still much to be done
Gorgeous design and great to remember strength and achievement of suffragettes when so much need for courage in the world right now.
Have these lightning bolt mirror earrings in so many colours now ... gotta catch 'em all!
These are just gorgeous! Love what they symbolise and also love the colours. Light and comfortable to wear
Gorgeous, sturdy, I wear it most days! Adjustable for even my weird little wrists (I love this style of bracelet because it's super secure and you never have to worry about it sliding off). Lots of compliments from people tilting their heads sideways to read it 😂 Absolutely gorgeous- would love to see a purple and green version in the future!
I wanted a big, bold necklace to promote my wokeness and this was the one! It’s gorgeous, big and glittery - what more could you want?
Really good quality and with a nicely adjustable chain, meaning you can wear it above a neckline or over clothing.
Great brooch to support the resistance in a quiet way. Lovely conversation starter. It really catches the light.
These earrings are so light to wear and very delicate. I love the colours and the message is so important! As ever very happy with my purchase.
I absolutely love these gorgeous handmade earrings! Small but eye-catching, they would go with a casual or smart outfit 💜💚
I love wear and resist necklaces. I bought this one as a gift and my friend absolutely loves it.
It’s a statement of our times. I would love this in green glitter, more colour options please! I got the silver glitter I really want it in green please?
I wore this for the first time yesterday in brighton and I got on a bus and the female driver said “nice badge”! I always wanted a sheriff’s badge and with the words on it’s just so cool and says how I generally feel most of the time.
