Add to SetSummary
The "peace sign" was first designed in 1958 as part of the British Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. By the late 1960s and 1970s, the symbol -- shown on this necklace -- came to mean that the wearer was an opponent of the Vietnam War. Ultimately, the peace sign came to represent opposition to war in general.
