Nevertheless she persisted ... 

Join the Persisterhood with this subtle typewriter font necklace. I wrote about my reasons for making this design and what the word means to me here.

£2 goes to Women for Refugee Women.

Details & dimensions

The word Persist is cut from 3mm acrylic. It measures 8cm. (3in.) across and comes on your choice of chain, adjustable to three sizes.

Care instructions

Acrylic can break if dropped and will snap under pressure. Please store your jewellery in its box and keep away from lotions and sprays as moisture can discolour metal parts. You can clean it like you would sunglasses, with a soft cloth and water or lens spray.

Shipping & returns

Postage is £2.95 for Royal Mail Tracked-48 and free on orders over £50. I am only shipping within the UK at the moment.

Please note Tracked-48 is just the speed of shipping and does not mean that all orders are sent out to arrive within 48 hours.

I aim to send out orders within 2-3 days, but at busy time this may take a little longer, as some designs are made to order.

If you are unhappy with your purchase, and it isn't one of those listed below, you can return it to Wear and Resist in its original condition, in the original gift box and packaging within 14 days of purchase for a full refund, minus the cost of postage. If your order qualified for free postage because of the returned item I will deduct the cost of postage (£2.95). 

I can not accept returns for items made in mirror acrylic, as the surface is delicate and I cannot resell these if they've been handled. 

For reasons of hygiene I am afraid I cannot refund earrings, unless they were damaged or the wrong earrings were sent. And I cannot refund bespoke designs or sales or seconds items. 

I look at all returns closely myself and won't refund any jewellery that has been worn.

I bought this for myself as some pre-International Women’s Day inspiration. I love the duck egg blue colour and received some lovely compliments on it!

Excellent as always

Persistent could be my middle name so it seemed right to order this! It came promptly and is beautiful. I just love the font and the colour.

Love this necklace, I can't have a tattoo so this is the nearest thing! A word to live by and really appreciate the three different lengths you can have.

Just perfect. PERSIST means a lot to me so I had to have this necklace. I knew it would be great as Sarah's work.always is. Already planning my next purchase ❤️

Love this necklace. Means a lot to me having been working through a bunch of things in therapy. Lots of comments, and I’ve sent several people to look at the W&R website.

well made great idea

I ordered one in cassis as it feels very relevent to my work as a service user rep in the NHS, #persisterhood! Only thing is I'd like more options to adjust the length shorter.

Thanks so much for your lovely review Louise! I can always make the chains shorter if you let me know when you order. If you want me to shorten your Persist just pop it back in the post and will do for you Sarah xx

Persist!

Treated myself to this necklace in the beautiful shell pink colour as a little reminder to myself to keep going through the last few weeks of my MSc. The colour is really sweet and goes well with everything I wear, the finish is perfect and I love that I can change the length of the chain. I've worn it to work a few times too and it always draws compliments from colleagues and patients, a little reminder to them too!

Perfect!

I proudly wore my "VOTE THEM OUT" badge to the polling station last week - so happy it arrived in time! I will keep wearing it until we have a half decent government - or at least one I'm not utterly ashamed to have (supposedly) represent me!
Great way to channel my rage and to prompt discussion to encourage people to vote, whatever their personal politics.

Great present for my 18 year old niece.

Well I love it so I hope my niece does too. Great colour (teal) and good quality.

Beautiful and uplifting

I love this necklace - the typeface is beautiful and the colour (teal) is gorgeous. I get a lot of complements on this and just have to look at it as a reminder to keep going. So good to know it’s helping women’s charities too.

Persist is the business

Love your jewellery, can't wait to give my necklace its first outing tomorrow! Thank you

About Sarah Day

Wear and Resist was born in early 2017 out of an urge to channel my frustration and growing rage at the political climate into a creative pursuit that would raise money for women's charities. I believe jewellery is about more than just looking pretty. What we wear can empower us and open up conversations. Statement jewellery that actually has something to say!

Solar powered! 🌞

Wear and Resist is running on solar power as we are in the process of making our home and workshop self-sustaining. 

a very small independent brand

Designed and made with love

Everything is made and sent from my Oxfordshire studio. We are an extremely small team – I'm the only full-time member 😄 – so you are truly supporting a small business when you shop here. We aim to get all orders out within 2-3 days but some may need to be made to order and might take a little longer. Sarah xx
