Joy is coming!

Recently a lovely customer sent me this poem by Kim Addonizio and asked if I could make a Joy is Coming necklace so she could give it to her friend. The poem has meant a lot to both of them, and it's a kind of mantra they say to each other 'listen I love you, joy is coming'.

I hadn't seen the poem before (although I should have, it's been a sensation since she wrote it in 2016). I read it and cried at my kitchen table, it threw me for a couple days.

 

I think these words resonate so much with recent weeks and the feeling that perhaps in all this awfulness a change is coming. I know some of you have been wanting rainbows so this comes in two different colourways - rainbow and sunshower (because it reminds me of the sun shining through the clouds just after the rain has stopped)

And like This too shall pass, the words glow in the dark to be with you in the dark times. 

It comes as both a necklace or brooch with the words 'listen I love you' either on the brooch fastener or dangling from the clasp of the necklace. 

The cloud measures 5 by 2.5cm. (2 by 1 in.) and each part is cut from 3 mm. acrylic. 
£2 from every JOY IS COMING item will go to Woman’s Trust. Domestic abuse has increased during the Coronavirus pandemic. Woman's Trust, who provide a safe, non-judgemental environment and specialist counselling for women to address the complex psychological impact of different types of domestic abuse.  

 

🎁 Is it a gift? ✨PLEASE✨ if you are ordering more than one item let me know if they can share boxes! Otherwise they will come in as few boxes as possible. 🌲🙂 You can let me know and leave a gift message at checkout.

Shipping & Returns

I aim to send out all orders as soon as possible, usually within a couple days of receiving them. Special orders and bespoke designs can take up to a week longer, and with such a big range of products, some designs are made to order so can't be sent next day. Please allow two days from ordering to posting even if you choose Tracked 24 or Special Delivery.

If for any reason you are unhappy with your purchase you can return it to Wear and Resist in its original box and packaging within a month of purchase for a full refund or exchange. For reasons of hygiene I am afraid I cannot refund earrings.

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 chains.

About us

Wear and Resist was launched by me, Sarah Day, in early 2017 as a way to channel my frustration at the political climate into a creative pursuit that would raise money for women's charities. It has grown word by word, but it's still just me, with a little help from Eliza, my daughter, model and muse. We currently support five main charities.

Solar powered! 🌞

Wear and Resist is now run almost entirely on solar energy.
