This 1776 necklace is more than jewelry—it’s a statement. The year 1776 marks the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and with it, the powerful opening words of the Constitution: “We the People.” These words are a call to unity, responsibility, and freedom. They remind us that our nation was built not by rulers, but by ordinary individuals who dared to dream of self-governance and justice. Wearing this statement piece is a quiet act of patriotism—a way to honor those founding principles and carry them forward in your own life and work.
Inspiration for Design:
I created this necklace as a patriotic inspired piece, but I also wanted it to be trendy and timeless. The simple round gold filled disc is classy and elegant. This simple minimalist design never goes out of style and will last for many years with great care.
***Please note every pendant will look different due to the sporadic nature of hand stamping. There could be an impression on the back of the pendant and this is normal due to displaced metal. I cannot guarantee the placement of each letter, but will ensure all look professional and up to my high standards.
Pendant: 14/20k yellow gold filled 12.7mm
Chain: 14/20k yellow gold filled adjustable necklace at 16 or 18 inches.
Finish: Shiny. The edges of the pendant are textured.
What is gold filled?
Gold-filled jewelry is composed of a solid layer of gold that is bonded to a base of another metal, such as sterling silver or copper. Gold filled jewelry has many advantages such as beautiful shine and much less expensive than solid gold jewelry. One of its greatest benefits is durability. Gold filled will not tarnish and can last through decades of wear when taken care of properly.

Gold filled jewelry is not prone to tarnishing. We still recommend taking off necklace before bed, and not to get necklace wet. To remove fingerprints, a jewelry cloth for gold filled or silver can remove dirt and fingerprints.
