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.

Gorgeous sparkly hoops! I love these earrings. This is my second purchase from wear and resist and I the quality has been great. They are original and beautiful. What more can you ask for?!
Impactful and fierce. This necklace is so cool and impactful. I love the sparkliness of it and that the chain adjustment. Perfect size. Gives a strong powerful message.

Let customers speak for us
Pretty pretty pretty necklace with a message to live by. Love it! Arrived beautifully packaged with a thank you note, which is a nice touch.
I work in a feminist arts charity once a week and we're seriously thinking of making this our team uniform (as much as we would ever put people in a uniform!). We love it! Sturdy, pretty and with a powerful message.
Thank you Sarah for a other wonderful piece of jewellery. It won't be the last piece I buy. Thank you.
Absolutely love these! best yet! Always a pleasure from buying from Sarah :)
Couldn't stop thinking about this RAGING necklace after seeing it in a fleeting ad, so tracked it down. So, so worth it with as a piece of jewellery and as a statement. Fantastic quality. Tha k you SO much for your work! Xx
I absolutely love this chain. It’s a great length and has a nice weight. Have worn it every day 🤩
Bought this mainly to wear as a bracelet - it’s so nice!! Very wearable and fab quality as always. It is a tad big on my wrist but if I post the bar through the loop twice it’s perfect 😁 Not worn as a necklace but I think I’ll probably layer it with some of my others and get max wear from it. Persist resit and hold fast. Never give up.
I found Resist on the Shopify App, where I purchase from other retailers. This was great timing as I love women related jewellery, and a small, UK business too. Lovely & easy to wear necklace, prompt shipping and Sarah has been a joy to communicate with. I think I may be back for more purchases.😁
Fantastic quality and service for a VERY reasonable price!
My wife loves it!
Got this for my partner or should I say pardner.
For her 60th
She not got it yet however I'm sure she will love it.
It's great quality and service was good.
great bracelet for my wife, arrived well packaged and in good time! Well made and a lovely design from a great company who make great things!
I love all of my Wear and Resist purchases but these earrings might be my favourite - absolutely adore! Beautiful icy blue colour with sparkle at the end, they made my ears feel special and dressed up!
I love this necklace so much! Will definitely buy more jewellery in the future! Thank you x
I bought this in glittery silver for my sister a she is not backwards at coming forward and it was a total hit! Glittery. Sweary. To the point. Perfect
I loved these earrings so much that I bought all 3 colours!
They are very light to wear and they attract lots of compliments! Totally fab!
