I’m speaking 14k goldfill rectangle necklace

English Norman

Unfortunately, during the pandemic, our usual metal supplier retired. We aren't able to get this particular 14k goldfill metal in the the gauge and softness we need to stamp the necklaces.

“I’m speaking.” My 11 year old daughter was watching the 2020 VP debates when she heard Kamala Harris say this to VP Pence who was interrupting her. My daughter looked at me and said, "SHE could be our next VP?!" She watched a woman standing up for herself amidst disrespectful interruptions. It’s a simple phrase, but unfortunately it is necessary for women to use this phrase to stop interruptions. A recent study (email me if you want citations) shows that male Supreme Court justices interrupt female SC justices 3 times more often than the reverse. And female SC justices are interrupted by male ATTORNEYS 3 times more often than male SC justices are. Other research is varied, but among coed play dates where 4 year olds know each other, boys interrupt girls 3 times more often. The interruptions increase as the number of boys in a group increases. As a mom, I’m teaching my daughter (the fantastic Jane Ellen) to speak up and be heard. Stop the interruptions and let’s listen to what each other is saying.

Each letter is individually stamped resulting in a necklace that is charming in its simplicity and imperfection. This necklace is 14k goldfill. Length options are 16" or 18"- email English if you need a different length.
