[Birthstone] PMA Plate Necklace / Birthstone

A birthstone series featuring an extremely simple plate-shaped PMA necklace that suits any occasion, set with a birthstone to give it a personal meaning.

The sides of the flat pendant top are engraved with "JAM HOME MADE & ready made" and "POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE (UNITY)".

Its simplicity makes it a popular item for gifts.

PMA = Positive Mental Attitude

A philosophy advocated by an American author, encouraging people to live with a positive mindset in all things.
It later took root in the punk rock scene, where many people were critical of society or prone to self-despair.
Challenging the conventional punk rock mindset that "being lazy toward society is true anti-establishment / punk," bands with a desire for change emerged. Rather than hiding behind punk stereotypes, hardcore bands like "Minor Threat" and "Bad Brains" championed the PMA policy to promote forward-thinking attitudes.

As a foundation for their stance, three core rules formed: "Don't smoke, don't drink, don't sleep around." This policy came to be known as "Straight Edge."

A birthstone from January to December is subtly set into the piece.

Selecting your own birthstone or one as a gift creates a cherished piece with deep personal attachment.

Recommended for anniversaries and special gifts.
