The Courage Collection
I designed the Courage Collection as a testament to the courage shown by those crossing the Channel to find to find safety.
Some of the members of Women for Refugee Women have modelled the collection.
£2 goes to Women for Refugee Women.
Women for Refugee Women
Meet Lilah and Carenza. They are the amazing women that help keep everything running at Women for Refugee Women.
If only charities like this didn’t have to exist.
But as Women for Refugee Women have said, ‘The inbuilt inhumanity of the asylum
system means that women seeking safety are disbelieved by default, heartlessly
detained at random and are often left to ‘live’ in atrocious accommodation.’
Women for Refugee Women empower women,
helping them to find their own voices by offering creative and practical classes,
where they also connect with each other. It’s a true Persisterhood, where friendships
between women offer understanding, recognition and comfort. I’ve been lucky
enough to attend several events with poetry readings and songs. There is no
better way to break down barriers than hearing someone tell their own story.
Perfect for those moments when you need to channel a your inner sailorette - or a bit of extra-courage. Chunky necklaces that weighs practically nothing and goes together great with the earrings.
Beautiful anchor earringsI 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.
About Wear and Resist
Wear and Resist was founded by Sarah Day in early 2017 as a way to channel her frustration and rage at the political climate into a creative pursuit that would raise money for women's charities. Her daughter, Eliza, is her inspiration, model and chain maker. Sarah designs and makes everything in her Oxfordshire studio, with a proportion of sales going to these charities.

Let customers speak for us
As always an amazing necklace which looks fab in a great range or colours and metals. Also one of my favourite words.
Another awesome piece - I bought it with Halloween in mind but it’s going to get worn a lot! I have the red mirror thunderbolt earring which go beautifully with it too 🥰
I’m very happy with the necklace, it’s good quality and I’ve had a few compliments when wearing it already :)
I love my green Witch necklace which I bought to celebrate handing in a book about ... witches. Funky, eye catching and beautifully made!
Love my pink witch necklace - the mirror look is so pretty and will look fab with a witchy black dress
That's what wearing this jewelry does for me - gives me strength with some serious sparkle! Love this jewelry and the messaging behind it. Be strong women and witches - always!
These earrings are absolutely gorgeous! I have received so many comments from people telling me how much they like them and asking where I got them from. I can’t begin to explain just how pleased I am and I will certainly be buying more jewellery in the future.
Bought for someone who is going through a bit. Love the glow-in-the-dark words and bracelet is beautifully made. Easy for daily wear too.
This necklace makes my heart sing with joy! It’s bold, bright and beautiful, not forgetting super sparkly. I love wearing it and claiming my power for all to see. Sarah’s communication, the packaging, information and care instructions were all top notch. Now I just need to decide which necklace to get next…. 🤩
Couldn't be happier. I ordered Courage and Hold Fast anchor earrings but asked for odd colours - one red and one blue. The earrings are amazing and I've had loads of compliments, but the customer service was the best bit of ordering from Resist. Being able to message and ask for odd earrings is why I shop from small businesses ❤️💙.
I love my 'I am I am I am' earrings. They are lightweight and comfortable to wear. I've had lots of comments on them when I've worn them too. Hope to buy some more in the future.
I saw Thangam Debbonaire wearing a necklace on TV and thought oooo where did she get that! Google told me. I wanted to get a necklace for my colleague was taking redundancy from work and then I thought I need something too :) We've lost so many colleagues I thought this one summed up my feelings perfectly. I wear it at work under a jumper and whip it out to make people laugh when we're feeling stressed. It makes me feel good too!
Necklace is lush. Came really quick even though it had said that there would be a delay to having had time off.
