When you meet the Necklace at an event, you see it mounted on several panels in vertical lines. That is necessary to keep it from tangling and getting damaged. We chose this method of display so you can still see each and every bead at any time, but we understand that it is difficult to imagine it in its entire length.
This is one of many panels...click on image to see all

Here are some known objects to compare it with:
If it could be dangling from the center of the St. Louis Gateway Arch, it would reach down to the bottom of the landmark and then some.
To match the height of the Eiffel Tower we need a little bit more: we have 160 feet more to go and we will succeed soon.
But it would be much too long to wear as a necklace for the Statue of Liberty. From her heel to the top of her head she measures 111', so the Love & Peace Project could provide 26 necklaces (to scale) for her to wear. That's almost one different necklace for each day of the month.
If you were standing on the very top of the Space Needle in Seattle and holding the necklace, the string of beads would touch the ground and come back up about a third.
The average length per 10 beads equals about 1 foot. If every person just in Palm Beach County dedicates only one bead that equals 18.94 miles. Impressive, right?
If every person in the United States does the same, it comes to 5681.8 miles and would stretch the necklace from New York, NY all the way to Los Angeles, CA and back! Wow.
But not to worry, it'll get there. In the meantime, we are quite happy with the way it is now. We are really just starting and there are not enough volunteers yet to help string all these 300 million beads anyway.
See the Football field, we passed the length of two already and we'll be adding many more.
So keep the dedications coming to make the necklace grow!
