Q:
How long is the Neverending Necklace right now?
A: Click on the Neverending
Necklace logo anywhere on the site, and you'll see! The length is updated
frequently, so check often.
Q: What is this project really about?
A: The Neverending
Necklace is a fun and meaningful way to remember someone special. At the
same time, we raise awareness about acceptance and compassion, and we donate money to
charities.
The name "Love & Peace Project" was chosen to reflect on the global needs
for love and peace. Each bead represents someone you lovingly remember and helps visualize the coexistence of all
shapes, colors, material and origin, all on the same string.
It is the one
project to which anyone in the world can contribute. The Neverending
Necklace knows no borders and it knows no time - a never ending string of love and
peace going around the world!
Q: How did the Necklace get started?
A: The Neverending Necklace was started after
the publication of a newspaper article in the "Palm Beach Post" which
featured the Vetsville "Cease Fire House", a non-profit organization
helping Veterans in need.
Q: How much money do I have to spend to
participate?
A:
Dedicating beads is FREE for up to 10 beads at a time! But if you'd really like to
leave your mark on the necklace, you can dedicate an entire section that
was made specifically for you.
Q: Can I enter anyone for a dedication?
A: Yes! Anyone can be entered
to whom you wish to
dedicate beads, however we reserve the right to refuse entries that are
offensive. Please read the terms of agreement (located on the dedication
page) before you submit your entries.
Q: Which organization is behind this?
A: The Love & Peace Project,
which is a pearl and bead stringing service to the trade and is privately owned.
Q: Is this a non-profit organization?
A:
We are a for profit business that generates its revenue by repairing pearl
and bead jewelry. Once you sponsor a section (panel), we forward $1.00 per bead to
an accredited charity.
Become a sponsor
now and be remembered forever!
Q: Do I have to send in beads
to dedicate them?
A: No, but if you would like to donate beads,
charms, or even broken jewelry
to be used in the Project, we will happily accept them and enter your gift
into the Journal as well.
Contact us.
If you like us to create an entire
customized section using your own fabric and/or beads (or charms etc.),
you can find more info
here.
Q: When will the Necklace be finished?
A: As soon as all arms and hostilities in this
world are laid to rest. The Project's first goal is an entry into the
"Guinness Book of World Records", after that we aim for it to go around
the globe. The Necklace will reach through space and time: it will keep growing
even generations from now.
Q: Do you really count every bead on the
necklace?
A:
Actually, we understate that amount.
We count each and every dedicated bead, but the real amount of
beads is much larger: the correct number of beads is the given number
multiplied by 13.
Why? Each bead is separated by 12 smaller beads to show off
the individual beads better.
Q: Where can I dedicate beads?
A: There are
three ways to do it: go to
the
"Add Beads" page
for more info - it's easy.
Or find a store near you where you can
dedicate beads:
click here for store locations.
Or you
may want to come and see us in person at any of the
events to choose your unique beads. Find the event calendar on the
"News" page.
