‘No coward soul is mine’ pendant necklace | Emily Brontë
This pendant necklace is etched in pale blue glow-in-the-dark pigment with the first words of Emily Brontë poem. It is finished with a bronze vintage star. (If you would prefer sky blue please let me know if gift message space.)
£2 goes to the Brontë Society to support their learning programme.
Emily died at 30, and like all good writing about death, this poem is really about life, and I love the intimate and powerful connection she has not with religion or 'creeds' but with her own, infinite, wondrous 'ever-present Deity'. It is said that Emily Dickinson asked for it to read at her funeral.
No Coward Soul Is Mine
No coward soul is mine,
No trembler in the world's storm-troubled sphere:
I see Heaven's glories shine,
And faith shines equal, arming me from Fear.
O God within my breast,
Almighty, ever-present Deity!
Life - that in me hast rest,
As I - Undying Life- have power in Thee!
Vain are the thousand creeds
That move men's hearts, unutterably vain;
Worthless as withered weeds
Or idlest froth amid the boundless main,
To waken doubt in one
Holding so fast by Thine infinity;
So surely anchored on
The steadfast rock of immortality.
With wide-embracing love
Thy Spirit animates eternal years,
Pervades and broods above,
Changes, sustains, dissolves, creates and rears
Though Earth and moon were gone,
And suns and universes ceased to be,
And Thou wert left alone,
Every Existence would exist in Thee.
There is not room for Death,
Nor atom that his might could render void:
Thou - Thou art Being and Breath,
And what Thou art may never be destroyed.
Acrylic can break if dropped and will snap under pressure. Please store your jewellery in its box and keep away from lotions and sprays as moisture can discolour metal parts.
I aim to send out orders within 2-3 days, but at busy time this may take a little longer, as some designs are made to order. All orders are now sent Royal Mail Tracked-48. You will get an email to let you know when your order is on its way. If for any reason you are unhappy with your purchase you can return it to Wear and Resist in its original box and packaging within a month of purchase for a refund excluding postage. For reasons of hygiene I am afraid I cannot refund earrings.
Customer Reviews
Totally loved this pendant, a long held favourite quotation that I can now hold close when out and about. Dispatched quickly and beautifully packed. Thank you!
It’s a beautiful necklace
Love my necklace ....I bought it for myself for the dog rescue work I've done and I will remember the words when I'm feeling like I can't do something and then think...yes I can. It was worn on visiting Camp Beagle ( recently) outside the laboratory dog breeding facility MBR Acres Cambridgeshire. Kim xxx

Featherlight earrings with an iridescent sheen. Whats not to love?!
Go on and treat yourself. You know you want to!
Love my beautifully made anchor earrings which I bought for myself for Mother’s Day. Will post a pic as soon as I wear them. I’m saving them for a mini cruise in Amsterdam with my fav group, Track Dogs.
This is the second pair of flower earrings I have purchased, first the cherry blossom, now the snow drops- they are just as stunning. Surprisingly light to wear considering the size, and many comments asking where I have got them from!
I have several Wear and Resist pieces which I absolutely love and this is no different! Such a lovely colour and I love the message so much!
I absolutely love my rose gold anchor earrings. I have had lots of compliments wearing them and for statement earrings they are so light weight to wear. They are fabulous 👌
These are super cool and funky. I love the vibrant red colour. They are the perfect size and very comfortable to wear. Really nice to have the options to choose the colours and whether you want gold or silver. Thoroughly recommend
I love this necklace so much - everything about this purchase makes me happy. Thanks!
This is my third necklace from Wear & Resist, and I love it. Like my others, I get loads of compliments. The note in the packaging, the charity donations - everything about this purchase makes me happy. Thanks!
Gorgeous necklace! Really pleased with it. So helpful & engaging with my query of colours/type. Im sure I'll be ordering more jewellery.
I absolutely love these hoop lightning bolt earrings and the fact that you get three different colours of bolts is such a bonus. I've had so many compliments on these and so far I've only worn the blue ones ! Thank you Sarah for making this incredible jewellery which is not only so well made but eye catching as well! Love, love, love them.
Fabulous piece , stunning!
Just as described x
Have had several comments when wearing this but also suspect some people choose not to see it haha.
I totally love all the items I have bought!! just got the Witch earnings last week and bloody love them. Wore them to a friends the other night and immediately some one was straight on your website to get something!
Another little pair or lightning bolt hoops for me, for those days where I'm feeling a little understated but still me. These ones are so sparkly and as always they are beautifully finished. My order arrived quickly and was well packaged. Thank you !!
I don't really need an excuse to purchase new earrings but this time it was to tell me that I'm proud of myself in my new job. The earrings are great, well made as I've come to know from W&R, arrived quickly and well packaged in a little box. There's so many colours to choose from, great for coordinating or contrasting with workwear. The lightning bolt earrings always attract compliments, they really are fab! Thank you!!

Eliza, my daughter, is my model, an amazing chain maker, and my inspiration. When we went to the first Women's March in London in 2017, I already had my first Resist prototype necklace in my pocket, and she has been my biggest cheerleader and helper in running Wear and Resist.
