Vacier and The Non-Violence Project Collaborate to Create a Timeless Jewelry Collection for Peace

A minimalist jewelry collection symbolizing the timeless pursuit for peace, featuring the iconic Knotted Gun pendant.

Collaborating in a stand against violence, Vacier, renowned for its minimalist and enduring jewelry, has partnered with the Non-Violence Project to launch an exclusive collection dedicated to the timeless pursuit of peace. All profit from this collection supports the Non-Violence Project’s global work to inspire, motivate and educate children on how to solve conflicts peacefully.

While the scale of aggression and conflict we witness daily can feel overwhelming, this partnership reminds us that making an active effort for peace is within our reach.

The collaboration between Vacier and The Non-Violence Project presents a proactive approach to promoting peace through the lasting Knotted Gun symbol and educational initiatives. This partnership has resulted in an eight-piece collection, four for men and four for women. Each piece is carefully made from 925 Sterling Silver and is also available in a 14k gold-plated finish. All the jewelry pieces showcase the iconic Knotted Gun, a global symbol of non-violence, thoughtfully incorporated into Vacier’s timeless designs.

Timelessness is a cornerstone of Vacier's design philosophy, and it is reflected in jewelry created to last a lifetime. Each piece is durable, minimal, and size-adjustable, ensuring it stays relevant and adaptable despite style and body size changes. However, this collection extends the concept of timelessness beyond aesthetics, making it a lasting symbol of peace and transforming everyday accessory choices into meaningful contributions.

The jewelry collection invites wearers to participate in a meaningful cause. The Knotted Gun symbol represents peace and a continuous effort to educate young people and work towards a culture of non-violence. For over 30 years, the Non-Violence Project has equipped 10 million individuals with the skills necessary to resolve conflicts peacefully. Every purchase directly supports their global educational work, creating a cycle of peace that spans generations.

The collaboration between Vacier and the Non-Violence Project highlights a timeless pursuit of peace. All of the jewelry pieces are designed to be versatile and suitable for any style and occasion to serve not only as a symbol but as a wearable daily reminder of the ongoing work required to build a more peaceful world. Each sale fuels this mission, ensuring that future generations receive the education needed to embrace non-violence.

“Non-Violence Project’s dedication to preventing violence, particularly among youth, resonates with our belief in creating lasting change through early intervention.

Many of our team members have personally felt the effects of violence and conflict, making this partnership deeply personal. Through this collaboration, we’re giving people a tangible way to support peace education and help equip the next generation with skills to resolve conflicts without violence. It’s a way to wear your values, to show that you stand for peace, and to help ensure that these efforts continue to grow and resonate around the world.” says Victor Ringqvist, the founder of Vacier.

We inspire, motivate and educate young people to learn how to solve conflicts peacefully.

The Non-Violence Project Foundation inspires, motivates, and empowers young people by equipping them with the skills to cultivate awareness and understanding of non-violence. Our programs help individuals overcome violence and solve conflicts peacefully, promoting a world where creativity and peaceful communication thrive. We believe that knowledge is power, and through skill-based learning and engaging educational tools, we unlock the potential for positive change in the world.

Since our founding in 1993 in Switzerland, we have educated over 10 million people across five continents. Our education programs and outreach initiatives have earned numerous accolades for best practices. In 2011, President Obama awarded NVPF the President’s Call to Service Award. Other honors include the Presidential Daily Light Award, presented to President Bill Clinton, the Paul Harris Fellow Award from Rotary International, the American National Safety Council Award for best practice, and the Weed & Seed Award from the U.S. Department of Justice in 2009.

Our iconic symbol, the Knotted Gun, was created by renowned Swedish artist Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd in 1980. The sculpture, depicting a revolver with its barrel tied in a knot, was a response to the tragic assassination of John Lennon. Reuterswärd's intent was to symbolize the futility of violence and the power of peace. The Knotted Gun has since become a global symbol for the Non-Violence Project, representing our commitment to educating the world on peaceful conflict resolution.

With our 30-year legacy, innovative methods, and a growing community of change advocates like you, we are actively shaping a more peaceful and non-violent world.

As a non-profit based in Switzerland, we operate globally, welcoming individuals from all corners of the world to join us in our mission.
