Hail from Jamaica. This piece sold at the ila blu (Carlsbad, CA) show. It is a hand hammered and etched copper heart. I adore the One Love sentiment. I think it is particularly charming to use in wedding ceremonies, especially Jamaican weddings as the phrase was made famous by the King of Reggae, Bob Marley. I made One Love wedding pendants and necklaces for dear friends years ago and they still wear them.
A wonderful way to incorporate this concept into a wedding is to create two pendants, one reading “One” and the other ”Love”. Either the bride or groom wears both charms/pendants during the ceremony and then gifts one of the pieces (on a chain) to spouse. Thus, each would always have a timeless symbol of “One Love”. This is a cherished piece of the wedding that the bride can enjoy with her daily wardrobe, long after her gorgeous dress is dry cleaned and packed away. Having symbolic charms/jewelry at your wedding and after can also keep you aware and present to your wedding vows and promises…
