The Words Around the Outside Are the Heart of This Design
Engraved around the outside edge of the circular medallion are words associated with the teachings of Jamaica’s first National Hero, The Right Excellent Marcus Mosiah Garvey:
“Remove yourself as far as possible from ignorance and seek as far as possible to be intelligent.”
These are not merely decorative words. They are a reminder to seek knowledge, challenge ignorance, think independently and keep learning throughout life. This message is the reason the pendant is especially meaningful to those who admire Marcus Garvey’s philosophy.
When you wear this pendant, you carry not only his portrait, but also a powerful reminder of what he stood for.
Honouring Jamaica’s First National Hero
Born in St. Ann’s Bay, Jamaica, Marcus Mosiah Garvey (1887–1940) became an influential advocate of education, self-reliance, dignity and empowerment. Recognised as Jamaica’s first National Hero, his ideas continue to speak to Jamaicans at home and throughout the diaspora.
Two Sides of Jamaican History
Front: A raised portrait of Marcus Garvey within a circular, coin-inspired medallion, with lettering honouring him as a National Hero. Above it hangs a polished silhouette of Jamaica with the name Jamaica.
Back: The opposite side of the medallion shows Jamaican national imagery, including the coat of arms and the familiar twenty-five-cent coin design. The reverse of the Jamaica map carries the national motto, “Out of Many, One People.”
Outside edge: The distinctive message about seeking intelligence is engraved around the edge of the circular pendant. We encourage customers to appreciate this important detail alongside the front and back views.
