Can you fathom the length of the necklace?
When you meet the Necklace at an event, you see it mounted on several panels, often 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 visualize the necklace in its entire length.
It also enables us to transport the necklace to shows or exhibits, where the panels are connected to make it into one single strand - the world's longest necklace!

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 come up to the top again and more.
We already reached the height of the Eiffel Tower and passed it by 647 feet.
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 32 necklaces (to scale) for her to wear. That's more than one different necklace for each day of the month.
If you were standing on the very top of the Space Needle in Seattle holding the necklace, the string of beads would touch the ground and come back up again and then some.
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 350 million beads anyway.
See the Football field, we have more than the length of five already and we'll be adding many more.
So keep the dedications coming to make the necklace grow!
