The International Peace Belt is a living symbol of the peaceful unity of all nations. == Creation == In the summer of 2003, Wendy Black Nasta (a Connecticut-based jewelry designer) and her apprentices Katie Rosenblatt and Margaret Sola began working on the belt. They designed and built a sterling silver belt draped with coins and gems representing, to date, 155 countries.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Artists For World Peace )〕 When it was completed 115 countries were represented with the ultimate goal of having all 191 countries represented.
