Cast in pewter to resemble an old wax letter seal, this pendant is stamped with the word 'breathe' in Thich Nhat Hanh's own handwriting. It hangs from a plum-colored rope cord that nods to Plum Village, the monastery he founded in France. Wear it under a collar or over a sweater, or give it to someone moving through a hard season.

Details

Design: Round pewter pendant cast to look like an old wax letter seal, stamped with Thich Nhat Hanh's handwritten word 'breathe,' hung on a wire-wrapped bail
Size: Pendant about 1 inch in diameter; rope cord up to 27 inches
Material: Pewter pendant, rope cord with pewter slider
Care: Wipe the pewter gently with a soft dry cloth; keep the cord away from water and perfume to preserve its color
Note: Each pendant is cast and finished by hand, so slight variations in texture and patina are part of its character
Origin: Handmade in Canada

Meaning & Intention

The pendant holds a single word — breathe — reproduced from Thich Nhat Hanh's own handwriting. He taught that the breath is the bridge between body and mind, the one thing always available to bring us back to the present.

Its round, irregular edges echo the wax seals once used to close a handwritten letter, suggesting something personal and sealed with intention.

The plum-colored cord points to Plum Village, the monastery he founded in southern France, where mindful breathing was a way of life rather than a technique.

In a stressful moment, a hand can find the pendant and be met with one clear instruction: breathe.

Ideal for: Anyone seeking a simple way to pause and breathe through daily stress

Questions & Guidance

Can the cord be adjusted?

Yes. The pewter slider lets you shorten the rope cord below its 27-inch maximum, so the pendant can sit higher on the collarbone or lower on the chest.

How might I use it during meditation or a stressful moment?

Hold the pendant between your fingers, feel its edges, and take one slow breath before you continue. The single word is meant as a direct instruction from the teacher himself.

Is this a good gift for someone new to mindfulness?

Yes. The instruction is one word long. No prior practice or vocabulary is needed to understand what it asks.

I am delighted with this necklace. I have bought two and when wearing have met someone who also needed the calming effect of just stopping to breathe. I gifted both with the necklace I was wearing. Need to order another for myself as my calming talisman. However I am always open to gifting to anyone who needs it.

Exceptional quality! A reminder of what I need to do when I am overwhelmed by life! Stop and "Breathe"!

The necklace closure made zero

The necklace closure made zero sense to me. You needed the long cord in order to fit the necklace over your head but once the necklace was on you'd have these long cord pieces hanging off of the back - disappointing design because I really liked the pendant part

My BREATHE pendant is absolutely

My BREATHE pendant is absolutely stunning, however, the piece that allows shortening and lengthening keeps moving to the front. Just a small thing and would not have kept me from the purchase if I would have known this. The pendant itself is a frequent reminder to “Breathe”.

Lack of clasp is a problem

The medallion is beautiful and solid. The cord is fine, but the way it clasps is a problem. The two ends of the cord slide through a small tube and there isn't much security against losing it. For the cost, I would have expected even a simple clasp that would secure the necklace and make it easier to put on and remove.

Awesome!

I realize that I should not wear jewelry when sleeping, however, this beautiful pendant reminds me to just "Breathe" when I am dealing with negative thoughts!

I received this lovely necklace shortly after Thich Nhat Hanh passed away and wanted a constant connection to him.

Thank you :blush:

One of a kind.

I had my eye on this piece for quite some time. I did finally purchase and I am so happy I did. This is beautiful, nice weight to it and the oxidation adds to the look. I actually cut the cord to the length I wanted and burnt the ends because I don't see myself taking it off anytime soon.
