The Peace Pearl was commissioned by the Craft Council of Newfoundland and Labrador in 2003 as part of their 30th anniversary celebration. The finished piece was featured on promotional materials for the 30th annual St. John's craft fair, and was also used as a fundraiser at both the Corner Brook and St. John's fairs. The only stipulation given by the Craft Council was that the object to be made must contain one or more pearls.
