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.

Featherlight earrings with an iridescent sheen. Whats not to love?!
Go on and treat yourself. You know you want to!
Love my beautifully made anchor earrings which I bought for myself for Mother’s Day. Will post a pic as soon as I wear them. I’m saving them for a mini cruise in Amsterdam with my fav group, Track Dogs.
This is the second pair of flower earrings I have purchased, first the cherry blossom, now the snow drops- they are just as stunning. Surprisingly light to wear considering the size, and many comments asking where I have got them from!
I have several Wear and Resist pieces which I absolutely love and this is no different! Such a lovely colour and I love the message so much!
I absolutely love my rose gold anchor earrings. I have had lots of compliments wearing them and for statement earrings they are so light weight to wear. They are fabulous 👌
These are super cool and funky. I love the vibrant red colour. They are the perfect size and very comfortable to wear. Really nice to have the options to choose the colours and whether you want gold or silver. Thoroughly recommend
I love this necklace so much - everything about this purchase makes me happy. Thanks!
This is my third necklace from Wear & Resist, and I love it. Like my others, I get loads of compliments. The note in the packaging, the charity donations - everything about this purchase makes me happy. Thanks!
Gorgeous necklace! Really pleased with it. So helpful & engaging with my query of colours/type. Im sure I'll be ordering more jewellery.
I absolutely love these hoop lightning bolt earrings and the fact that you get three different colours of bolts is such a bonus. I've had so many compliments on these and so far I've only worn the blue ones ! Thank you Sarah for making this incredible jewellery which is not only so well made but eye catching as well! Love, love, love them.
Fabulous piece , stunning!
Just as described x
Have had several comments when wearing this but also suspect some people choose not to see it haha.
I totally love all the items I have bought!! just got the Witch earnings last week and bloody love them. Wore them to a friends the other night and immediately some one was straight on your website to get something!
Another little pair or lightning bolt hoops for me, for those days where I'm feeling a little understated but still me. These ones are so sparkly and as always they are beautifully finished. My order arrived quickly and was well packaged. Thank you !!
I don't really need an excuse to purchase new earrings but this time it was to tell me that I'm proud of myself in my new job. The earrings are great, well made as I've come to know from W&R, arrived quickly and well packaged in a little box. There's so many colours to choose from, great for coordinating or contrasting with workwear. The lightning bolt earrings always attract compliments, they really are fab! Thank you!!
